Holy smokes! I can't decide on whether I'd like to be Morpheus or John Lasseter at this moment. So good.
Thanks Rob.

These images of the Ijburg house by Dutch architect Marc Koehler is making my Monday morning a bit better.

Bookmark time! Apartment Therapy just posted an article featuring the 'Top Ten' online shops for vintage furniture and accessories. Now you know what to do this weekend.
Urban Outfitters is now selling Nate Williams pillows. Sleeping never looked so good.
Love the environment and have heaps of cash (doesn't that go hand in hand)? Well, if you do, you can now strive for a LEED platinum rating (which is actually a really cool thing). The Margarido House is the first home in Northern California to do so, and it's obviously breathtaking.
45 Days. A Film About Demon Hunter By Cale Glendening.
Wes Anderson's classic film Bottle Rocket (my second favorite of his films, behind Rushmore) now gets its own Criterion Collection. Not a bad thing at all.
It seems as if House Industries is making a film about Ed Rondthaler.
From the House blog: 'We had the privilege to spend a day filming Ed Rondthaler, living legend, founder of Photo-Lettering, Inc., former president of the American Literacy Council and author of The Dictionary of Simplified American Spelling'.
See the amazing trailer here.
The Totoro Forest Project is a 'A fund raising exhibition/auction to support the national trust Totoro Forest Foundation that Oscar winning film maker Hayao Miyazaki has been helping over the years, featuring original art created by internationally acclaimed artists in the fields of animation, comic books, and illustration.'
I did notice that many of these pieces were created by Pixar illustrators, animators and directors. The work is absolutely stunning and I just love the concept.
A book featuring all of the pieces should be available on September 6th.
The 2nd season of Top Design starts tonight on Bravo. Todd + company are back for more interior design mayhem. I'm hoping it's better than the current season of Project Runway, which is (without a doubt) the worst season yet. OK, OK ... Suede is kinda cool, although I think Joe is going to take it.
Richard Neutra's Maxwell house (built in 1941 for $6,750) recently moved from Brentwood to Angelino Heights.
LA Times: "Saving the house has become a labor of love -- some say obsession -- of the owner, developer Barbara Behm, who does business under the name Princess Bovlana. She plans to restore the house "from top to bottom, and everything in between," before selling it."
See the amazing pictures here. Many thanks to Barbara for realizing this home was worth saving - can't wait to see it finished.
If Bruce Wayne owned a garbage truck, it would look like this.
In another chapter of my "House Industries Continues To Do No Wrong" book, Andy Cruz (who is currently guest-blogging over at Dwell) just unleashed this ridiculously cool dollhouse, promoting their new typeface, Studio Swing. Just stupid awesome.
The Archive is a great (and very well done) little documentary on Paul Mawhinney, owner of the world's largest record collection. You may need to dry a tear or two.

My favorite video director Mark Romanek has a brand new site.
