Arch Daily posted this great house designed by architect António Sérgio Koch in Oporto, Portugal which I am just falling in love with. It’s got huge windows and big open spaces throughout the entire complex. Definitely something that I feel would age well over time and not look too out-dated in just a few years (although I could be wrong…but for now, a very beautiful house).

This photo taken by John Bazemore for the Associated Press shows a house nearly consumed by flood waters in Mableton, Georgia on Tuesday (September 22, 2009). As posted earlier, parts of Georgia have experienced tremendous rainfall which has caused massive flooding and several deaths.
You can see more photos of the flooding at The Washington Post.

According to Indicommons, today (July 7, 2009) is the 101st anniversary of the invention of sliced bread! The first company to produce a commercial sliced bread product was the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri back on July 7, 1928.
So happy 101st anniversary sliced bread! You’ve been good to me!

If birds lived lives like humans, this is how I imagine it would play out. This commercial was made by Rattling Stick.

You’ve probably never seen this house, but a part of you might instantly recognize it as familiar? Why? Well, because if SFGate is to be believed, this is the house that the Up house was modeled after. The structure is permanently elevated about 10 feet off of the ground giving animators a good glimpse of what’s underneath which is probably useful for animation when the Up house flies away.
Anyway, there’s no official confirmation from the folks at Pixar, so you’ll have to take this one with a grain of salt.

HAHA!!! Watch this video to see how one man’s thick Australian accent can cause quite a funny accidental mix-up in the newspaper and on local TV. [via]
