Internet learnings

Google reader you guys.  I just figured it out.  Like a week ago.  I'm so bad at the internet!  But I'm totally figuring it out.  I mean look at this blog I'm blogging on...in?  Anyway, one of the first blogs I started following on the reader was Dwell and I hiiiiiiiiighly recommend it.  The hubs and I have been kinda looking at houses to rent and getting to see the houses featured on Dwell is getting me super pumped about someday getting to make homeowner decisions.  (Don't laugh at me current homeowners, I'm allowed to get excited about my future mortgage ok?)  Anywho, the first house I saw on Dwell was the Maxon house.  So far the first half of this families move to the country outside Seattle to build on 21 acres has been an excellent read and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the construction of their house begin.  The house is being designed by this guy(!) and his work is simply mind-blowing.  Here's some pictures of the Maxon property and some super cool houses designed by Olson Kundig!

Here's the view that sold the Maxons
