The family ranchhouse, |G|, outside Pozo, California is a goddamn American treasure.
Exhibit A.
Perhaps the most amazing and sinister looking bottle opener, I’ve ever seen.
Really, it just makes me want to break out the chalk line and start painting things at right angles and 45s.
The stark lines turn what would be an Ikea-alike table into something special. And it gives you an idea of what it’s like to shop for furniture with Superman.
In my Brooklyn apartment, I used to tack stuffed animals and toys to the walls and trace their changing shadows throughout the day–every wall felt like an x-ray. Awesome effect.

I’ve been drooling over these for years. One day I’ll start pinching the pennies needed to commission a set.
Scott uses wood, glass, and old vinyl records make some of the best glasses I’ve ever seen.
Buying a pair of glasses is like choosing a facial feature, and every pair Scott makes is as unique as the owner. Nice stuff. Please keep it up.

Peter Pan Golf, est. 1948
Amazing, right?
Watch out, Peter!
Two things:
First, Austin is awful pretty. An overgrown Albuquerque, or maybe New Orleans without the decay. Pretty houses. Lots of pretty houses. Victorians, Craftsmen, saltine box mid-century ranch houses, and blocky modern experiments. And so many Airstreams. Awesome.
Second, the camera on the 3GS isn’t half bad…in broad daylight.
