I came across the most wonderful architecture book I’ve ever seen at Left Bank Books. It’s called La Tour de 300 Metres
As far as I know, the book is pretty rare to come by so if you ever see it, please take some time to look through it (or purchase it). I didn’t see it at the TASCHEN store but if you are the least bit curious, you can pick up a copy at Amazon.com

I saw Mactracker over at TUAW and was intrigued by its purpose. Mactracker is a freeware app that is basically a library of Apple computer products from the very beginning to the most recent. It can provide very detailed information on any computer and note any changes from version to version. It even provides information like how much it was on sale for at the time of its release.
For the information junky in me, this application is GOLD.

Deamplified came across a stash of 19th-century checks from Brooklyn and was immediately amazed at the level of detail adorned on the face of each check. You really don’t see such intricate markings on checks anymore and these are wonderful examples of great artistry on an item that is looking more and more plain by the minute.
Head on over to Deamplified for detailed scans of each check.
