Hey kids! Ever wonder why my linkoramas are usually on Wednesdays? It’s due to my midweek slump, when I start to get bored and not much is going on….so I look elsewhere for inspiration. And that’s my fact of the day.

“Mobile Home” takes on new meaning:  Dwell

Leed Platinum McMansion: Low Impact Living

Cutting Class in Paley Park: Materialicious

Biodegradable Poopy Bags For Dog Walkers. There goes my excuse not to pick up when they go off the trail. See, I had good reasoning. The poop is biodegradable, so why waste a plastic bag? I’m not talking about city streets. I’m talking just off the trail upstate. Am I a bad person? Alternative Consumer

20 Tips To Prepare The Kitchen For Resale. The Kitchen Designer has been slacking off lately. Oh she’s working alright, but I guess she’s been too busy to post daily. Keeping us hanging. Nice to see Susan back with this highly informative post. The Kitchen Designer

Dad Labor. Hallie in Hudson has a series of posts on all the work her father did when he came to visit. What a dynamo! As regular readers know, I just lost my own father back in May. But may I speak frankly? The man couldn’t even change a light bulb! (Seriously, my mom changed the bulbs.) My father would sit back and ask under his breath so nobody could hear him “Need help?” I’d like to adopt Hallie’s dad, please. Holy Hudson

Snot And Barefeet At MOMA. Not kidding. Jean fills us in on how disgusting people can be. Treating the pre-fab home exhibit as if it’s their own living room. Actually, I doubt snot lady would do that in her own house! Should’ve taken a picture and put her in the hall of shame. Renovation Therapy

Get your kids involved with your DIY projects! Why shouldn’t they help out? Playhouse Design Competition For Kids over at Choochicoos. Deadline April 25th.

Things you should know about wetlands on your property. Living Well in Westchester talks about building additions while protecting the natural habitat.

You MUST watch this video on Materialicious. It’s about 5 minutes long and will make you all teary eyed. Dan Phillips built his home out of 85% recycled material and helps others realize the dream of home ownership. All they need is a credit history and a job. Could be minimum wage. They must help build their own recycled home, but experience is not mandatory. This is in Texas, of all places.

Here’s another cool video, this one from Brownstoner. Coney Island in the 40’s. My parents would take me here when I was a kid in the 60’s and this video put a smile on my face. Some of these things still existed in the 70’s. Unless my warped mind is remembering something completely different. Laughing Lady/Fun House? Was that Coney Island?

The Brooklyn Blogfest is May 8th at the Brooklyn Lyceum! Mark your calendars. So you can remind me to go. Non-bloggers are welcome also. Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn will keep us posted as the plans progress. Last year’s Blogfest was sponsored by Partida Tequila and there were margaritas galore. They’ve yet to find a sponsor for 2008. Hello Stoli?

The Kitchen Designer posts her top 10 secrets of lighting design. “Lighting is jewelry.” Yes! I totally agree. But you can live without jewelry. You can’t live without lights. Unless your own of them kooks who doesn’t like modern conveniences.

Materialicious has been an invaluable source of information for me and Justin is one of my virtual BFFs in the blogging world.

Materialicious will be a year old at the end of the month and is doing quite well. But it was no accident. Justin has spent the past year living off of his savings in order to dedicate himself to the blog. He now either has to revamp the site for ad revenue (a costly process) or go back to work full time and forget about Materialicious.

So he’s asking for donations. This is the unfortunate realty of bloggers without financial backing. If one person is pumping out a brilliant blog with a steady flow of informative posts, you can rest assure the day job is suffering and it cannot last forever.

If you’re a Materialicious fan like I am, you can donate any amount by clicking his PayPal link.

For Justin or any other blogger out there in need of a technical assistance for their site, I would highly recommend my web designer who works at a fraction of the cost of larger companies. She’ll be switching my own site over to a different platform soon and even I can afford her prices!
