Continuing the tradition of weekend backyard improvement, we ordered a pair of Adirondack Chairs from, where else, adirondackchairs.com of course!

I want one so badly it hurts. I honestly don’t see why we’re that far away from a consumer version of this. I always thought I could’ve put my physical computing powers to better use at ITP by creating a self-sustained interactive dog toy. Could’ve made millions… Millions I tell you!

After about 1000 miles in the Pilot, traveling practically to the US border with Canada, Karen, Sasha (on her first vacation) and I are back home in Brooklyn. It was such a great, relaxing week off.
