buy buy buy, consume consume consume
I wish I had the energy necessary to run a site like Kevin Kelly's Recomendo, but here's a short list of recent things (mostly media purchases) that I've been loving every bit of:
- Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions (can't put it down)
- Macromedia Homesite 5.5 (not a lot of new stuff, just seems tighter)
- Clyde Federal - Please Be Real (Staten Island Ferry makes me wish I made films so I could put the song into a pivotal scene)
- Sloan - Action Pact (very best rock from canadia)
- From Monument to Masses - The Impossible Leap in One Hundred Simple Steps (always a favorite)
- Simpsons Season Three (thanks Jish!)
- Kiehl's Foaming Non-Detergent Washable Cleanser (yeah, I buy girlie things for my face, blame Lance)
- Johnny Cash - American IV (an iTunes store buy)
- Guster - Keep It Together (love it - impulse buy from iTunes)
- Ben Folds - Speed Graphic (nice little EP, another iTunes thing)
- Behr's Inspiration Library flash thing (great use of technology to research design choices at home, hit the "interior" button to play with it)
And for no reason, a list of things I am lusting after (all for the new house -- pathetic what I've become, no?):
- Panasonic TH-42PWD6UY
- Audiosource in-wall speakers
- Room & Board's Hudson club chairs
- stacked slate retaining walls
- Viking dual-fuel range
- bamboo flooring (looks great and ecologically kickass -- only takes 3-4 years to harvest bamboo used for wood flooring)
Signs I'm getting older (aside from the above list -- my 31st birthday is coming up in a couple weeks): five years ago, when I hung out with friends all we talked about was new music and art house movies (and the web). Now all we talk about are mortgage rates and who is trying to conceive (and the web, but just a little).
