Are you sure that any image is available? If so, I'd like to know how to order this one:

There is no "get a print of this image" link as there is with many others. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, because I can't find the Bowie print you have posted, either, whether I search on "Bowie" or "Bebbington."

This is a little more than just an outlet, though, because the charger is supplied. It is bound to be more economical than buying a spare charger if you've forgotten (or checked) yours.

Fitting that this was in Finland; the one cell phone I've ever been tempted to run over with a car was a Nokia.

A clear glass vase through which you can see the water level is also pretty low tech.

People who live in squarish glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I like the chair, but I can't commit to a print in a chair or sofa. I know I'd get sick of it after a year or less.

Oh, Jessica's design is awesome.

Here's the bag I want:

It's cute, has long and short handles (so you can carry in your hand or over your shoulder), holds up to 6 wine or water bottles, has a detachable pouch for your wallet and keys, and is inexpensive.

The angle of the hanger looks to me to be about the same as your typical coat hanger; anyway, if you fasten the top of your coat, it shouldn't fall off.

None of the above... or all of the above... I burned all my CDs but kept the CDs (in sleeves and then in boxes, rather than in jewel cases).

It's a cool hanger. $32 is not unreasonable if you buy one or two to hang coats from a hook in your entryway. No need to replace every hanger in your closet.

Ahhh, thanks crewtag. Sorry for the confusion.

I love coming home from a long enough trip that when I get back, it's like I'm seeing the city with fresh eyes. It's familiar and strange at the same time.

Weird. The stated dimensions for the Lahde are nearly square, but from the picture it definitely looks rectangular.

The reptile tile is genius.

What a great idea. I love the idea of the letter tile placecards, which identify the theme without hitting you over the head with it.

The first picture looks like a generic bachelor's apartment (except for the CRT TV). The second picture looks like said bachelor got a gift certificate to Pier 1 for his birthday.

Or their certificate of occupancy or something.

I just walked by this morning and noticed signs posted on the windows indicating they'd lost their business license.

Okay, I just ordered last year's model from rei-outlet.com (it's $55 there and they're running a promotion for another 20% off any one item). It seems like it will be perfect for air travel, since it's such a pain in the butt to take out a laptop for security and put it back in many laptop bags. Also, I like that it's a vertical bag so I can ride the bus or El with it on my lap and not have it spilling over onto the passenger next to me.
