yes, there's a whole foods downtown (toronto) here, but i recently moved out of the core (hipster overload). i will definitely pop in and have a look. whole foods is just north of downtown and the parking lot always looks a bit crazy... but i'm willing to give it a try. thanks for the TIP!


Small Home Living: Do You Buy in Bulk?

i have always been a HUGE FAN of living in small streamlined spaces. currently i live in a 800sf cottage (no basement or attic storage) and i've been creative with storage for most part but have always DREAMED of a store for "single - small space living" type people, that we could buy in small quantities but still get great deals. ie: i never freeze bread (even tho my mom tells me too) and half always goes to waste. why can i buy half a loaf?!

the truck of a car is a smart idea, however i drive a pickup truck with an open back. : (

ikea made a GREAT low profile bed a few years ago, only down fall was that it weighs a ton. it's too bad they discontinued it because it was only around 500$bucks. hopefully they will come out with a lighter version.

i use to work for TBWA/Toronto and at one point Frank Gehry did our interior....all in plywood/pressboard. even tho it was done in the late 80s, when i was there in the late 90s/00s it still looked awesome. stained in both honey and red, with a matte clear coat. both our walls and desk were made from this material....and it's still all there today. i <heart> plywood......and gehry.

you will also have to do a current firmware update to your older macbook pro's to use the newest 85w charger. this took us a few weeks to figure out......pain in the butt......but we figured it out and now apple has a tech note available for it.
