"Here's a story, of a man named Brady ..."

Despite the near-continual re-runs that made the Brady family a part of many of our lives (in the same way generation Y will remember the Simpsons forever), we sometimes forget ...

The perfect family, sure ... but later we realized that it was the perfect house that was the best bit ... the central lounge, Mike's fantastic home-office ...  that great open-plan kitchen and dining area ...

Too cool - I think Mike Brady was the inspiration for a generation of architects ... maybe?

Would love to live there ... maybe we should hang onto the plans in case we somehow end up with a construction budget and a nice spot on a sunny suburban street ...

Thanks Sherwood Schwartz ... RIP.

we heart tv

After flicking thru the endless stream catalogues that slip by our 'no junk mail' sticker undeterred we were getting a bit of envy over the amazing 3cm flat-screen tv's being released - our box is deeper than it is wide, and decidedly not flat.

But then, you have to think ... is quality of picture more important than quality of life? The golden age of television design pre-dates colour ... if you must own a sleek flat piece of tech, why not slip it into a body you can love?

Some lovely examples over at hulger.org ...
