I came across this group today (via) and they’ve got a really neat sound. Some incredible cello playing (not that I’m much of a judge, but I’m impressed).

You can check out their YouTube page or their home page.

Definitely worth a listen.

I built a dog house for our dog, Joc.

Rules of Thumb is a neat site with some fun information.

I was away from an internet connection for 4 complete weeks. No email, no web pages, no blogs, nothing.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t that bad.

I didn’t really think about it because it really wasn’t any sort of option.I came back to a ton of email and many unread blog posts but I don’t feel like I missed it. I suppose that this is a healthy response as it indicates that I can live without being in constant communication with a wider world, but I’m glad that I’m back “in the loop”.

A few pages I’ve had hanging out in open browser windows for a while now. I think that they’re interesting/funny - you may too!

• Top 10 Uses for Used Coffee Grounds - some of these seem questionable but others are useful and you’ll get a chuckle.
• Color Inspiration from the Masters of Painting - color palettes created by looking at color usage in famous paintings.
• Green by (almost) design - a neat overview of some of the components and materials used in the PATH concept home
