Here are some nice improvements on the standard bicycle handlebar bag. I appreciate how well articulated all the information is about this project. It’s got $90,710 on Kickstarter, on a $40,000 goal (23 days left to pledge). The $119 bag is expected to ship in January 2021.

Fire Table
Our friend, Hayden Schramm (designer/fabricator) applied finishing touches (adding adj. feet and hose part) yesterday and we fired-up the fire table last night - what a treat. It kicks off more heat than expected - we kept it dialed down as evening temps were in the 70s. Looking fwd to fall.

HomeMade Modern
I like the off-the-shelfness of this couples work. Each piece they make has an accompanying video, many with tips and adjustments. More here.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE HOUSE - CplusC (Australia)
This playful house is pretty tricked out (solar power, green roof + wood, steel, glass, colors, etc.). More here.
Crush Walls - Denver
The new murals are going up right now. More here.
Green Island Community Center (Thailand)
Love the modern simplicity, geometry and thatched roof. Looks like an inviting community hub. More here.
Potato Harvest
After the cold spell that snapped through Denver last week, we thought it may be time to check on these guys. Not much for our first try but not bad for quartering a few back in May and watering occasionally.
Kayak (Update)
The frame is starting to take shape and after staring at it for a while, I think I just figured out how to do the bottom piece.
Abandoned Quarry to Minimalist Home - Ensamble Studio (Spain)
On the island of Menorca, architect couple gently transforms this beautiful space into spare dwelling. More here.
Charging Station - Cobe (Denmark)
These timber, grove-like electric car charging stations are a nice touch - they even have green roofs and swings to help everyone pass the time. More information here.
Matisi (Horse’s Hoof) Temple
This dates back to approximately the fifth or sixth century, the spaces are connected by tunnels and stairways carved into the cliff. See more about this stunning temple and other sacred places in Western China here.
Beach Art - Andres Amador
I like that no additional materials are needed to make this art, just a rake and some patience. Check out more by Amador here.
IKEA
IKEA has been at it since 1950 and each year has created a catalogue. The IKEA museum has released a way to see every page of each years’ catalogue since they first started. I recommend you try and find the one of your birth year and see how far (or not) we’ve all come.

It’s very easy, everything you need to know about registration, mail-in, polling places, etc. is here.
Free Flowers
For the past few weeks, Emily (my wife) has been setting out cut flowers from our yard and has been receiving an outpouring of very positive responses.
Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray
Sixteen years after teaming up on Lost in Translation, Coppola and Murray are getting ready to release another film together with On the Rocks. Looking forward to watching this Somewhere.
Post Secret
I love the honesty that comes from this anonymous experiment. See more Post Secrets here.
Camping
A much needed two night reset in Florissant, CO - we got our fix of horses, wildflowers, birds and thunderstorms.
