- Obligatory Sheridan Wyo picture (Insanely, 45° tonight & no snow. Will be 59 tomorrow)
- The Talented Mr. Ripley: A+ book by Patricia Highsmith A+ film (screenplay & direction) by Anthony Minghella including A+ acting, editing, etc. would not argue with anyone ranking it #1 all time still I'd love to see what Hitchcock would have done with it
- I don't really post about politics here but "Kill and slander" is perfect framing by @juliettekayyem.bsky.social on CNN. (I grew up in South Minneapolis so this all hits hard.)
- Anxiety refusal: I refuse to let your anxiety make me anxious (or should I call it Chill will?)
- Merry Christmas everyone! Galeries Lafayette 2025 (living vicariously; not my photo)
- I'm still worried this amazing building is falling down 5.5 years later. Does anyone have any current info? solarhousehistory.com/blog/2019/6/...
- It’s insane in Wyoming tonight — hurricane conditions. Back me up local friends.
- My new favorite youtuber www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ5e...
- I thought I might have something novel to say about Frank Gehry, but I'm afraid I don't. I met him a few times at UCLA but sadly I didn't bother him with interesting questions. He was a student of Gregory Ain at USC and I think he admired Ain a lot. 1/3
- Sometimes in retreat I suppose this is the pinnacle of Western civilization (along with William Matthews poetry).
- interesting farmland patterns in Quebec
- “Don’t worry about the plumbing or HVAC, we can figure that out later.”
- I just noticed that one of Alexander Girard's carpets at the Miller house has an abstraction of the floor plan. cc: @langealexandra.bsky.social
- Wild account of design review process for Highpoint Two by Lubetkin/Tecton (John Winter, Modern Buildings)
- I'm becoming slightly obsessed with Napoleon III as a patron of architecture. Here's a fascinating interpretation (Irene Earls, 1975).
- Haven't seen this before - fun!
- Is this, from 1935, the first architectural shading diagram? Maybe! I discuss here: solarhousehistory.com/blog/2025/7/...
- $100m building; gravel parking lot
- When you have a headcold and care-taking international colleagues…
- Visited the Kauffman Center (Moshe Safdie) last evening
- I've been reading 70's solar house stuff. This is a perfect Forward. Masterclass. (The book is Casa del Sol by William Lumpkins, 1981)
- I hope Top Secret! is not being overlooked in the Val Kilmer retrospectives.
- Really great reporting by @mslaurabliss.bsky.social It seems the Park Planned homeowners intend to rebuild en masse fairly close to Ain's original plans. This will be amazing.
- Here's another #Altadena #EatonFire article in which I'm a very minor character www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
