Though it doesn’t look like many people are using it yet, this will hopefully be an excellent website to find/get rid of construction and building materials. It will save the contractor money (by not paying waste removal fees) and will keep good materials out of the landfill.
Allyu Spa - The Art of Healing →
This Chicago day-spa is one of the only earth-conscious spas I’ve seen in the city. Its name means “community”, and that seems to be the spirit they are attempting to foster. Their pricing looks competitive. When I have a more lucrative daytime activity, perhaps I’ll try it out.

Kate Spade’s website has several fun interactive sections, like featuring an editor’s desktop and the objects there, or this “things we love” interactive listing. The heading “behind the curtain” is a great moniker.
My Husband is Famous! →
Todd shares some insider news with the lifehacker team and gets a write-up. Yeah for marrying geeks!
Mystery on Fifth Avenue - NYTimes.com →
The most amazing (and fun!) residential architecture I’ve seen probably ever. Combine 1 part mystery, 1 part storytelling, collaborative geniuses and a couple dozen hidden panels to get the best apartment in New York. (Thanks Austin.)
Travel Light with One Bag! →
Looks like a good site. Todd and I always try to take one bag on trips anyway, but this seems like a good tool.

I would love just about any of the papergoods (and most of the books, too) from this Canadian shop that believes: “Great design starts with a good idea.” Also check out their gallery of original - and mostly affordable - art by Canadian artists. Love the critters section!

Who Is Barack Obama? →
The New York Times does an excellent slideshow portraying many facets of the man who is currently making history.
Priceless
I’d like to see this French romantic comedy starring Audrey Tautou. Looks pretty light, with lots of high fashion and elaborate sets.
