Barn Light Electric

There's a wide variety of beautiful lighting fixtures at Barn Light Electric, although I don't know how the prices stack up to other suppliers.

Damon's Record Center

I used to regularly visit the Detroitblog back when the author was spending a lot of time doing urban exploration—Detroit is full of empty historical buildings. The author has shifted focus to profiles of local businesses and people, which adds a face to a town much like Baltimore: blue collar, economically depressed, ad fighting to find a new identity. This profile on Damon's Record Center is a great example.

Lunchbox

This is a Google mashup which highlights restaurants on a map based on zip code. It'll be helpful after a few months when more restaurants are entered, but it's a great start. (via)

LEGO Millenium Falcon

The $500 LEGO Millenium Falcon. As a Star Wars geek, LEGO geek, and 36 year old American male, I don't know whether to charge this to my credit card IMMEDIATELY or run screaming from the computer. (I don't want to be that guy with two kids, a mortgage, and my Star Wars figures on display.) If I was 13 again, however, I'd start the daily Christmas pestering reminders right now.

Reasons Not To Buy An HP Printer.

From The Consumerist, 14 Secrets from a former HP Employee. As if I didn't already have enough reasons not to buy an HP printer. Number One illustrates perfectly the amount of contempt and corporate malice that the company projects.

Cafe Du Monde

Hey, before I forget, special dark props to our buddy Jason, who sent up a can of french roast Cafe Du Monde coffee from New Orleans. (We bought a yellow can of coffee & chickory at the local asian supermarket, and after the first few cups we started complaining about the taste.) This is very, very good coffee. We've finally killed the can, and I think I'm going to be buying some more, along with a T-shirt or two.

Speaking of coffee, I stopped by Zeke's on Sunday to git me sum beans, but they were closed due to lousy weather. I'll be back!

Large-Format Poster Prints.

I think it would be alternately frightening and cool to have a 4' square poster of this kid eating spaghetti. Or this kid eating beans. International! I could send this one to my vegan friends.
