ReubenMiller's Got a Brand-Spanking New Look!

I'm sure you've noticed by now that we've got a fresh new look for the blog. After a lot of coding, tweaking and generally making a mess of CSS, I've managed to get it to look half-decent (let me know what you think of it!) It still remains a work-in-progress. The goal of this redesign was to make it easier to get around and add some more color. After all, you know we're suckers for color!

Last but not least, our large header incorporates the work of a featured artist. We'll be featuring different artists in that space and rotating them over time to keep things interesting. This isn't a sponsored spot, but rather a testament to our support of great artists. Our first feature is of the brilliant and witty Simon Oxley, one of our all-time favorites.

Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home

I have a soft spot for compact dwellings. So you can imagine my joy when I recently discovered a nifty blog called materialicious that showcases among many beautiful homes, some very special diminutive structures. For anyone who appreciates architectural eye candy, this is for sure going to be well worth the visit.

My personal preference was for Extell Development, but then again I am biased as I used to worked for them.
