Take a glimpse at the narrowest house in the world soon to be found in Warsaw, Poland.

Etgar Keret, a writer from Israel, has commissioned what looks to be the narrowest house in the world. … At its widest point it’s four feet across. At its narrowest, it’s just 28 inches, that’s the width of a front door. The bedroom is, by my count (I’m counting books at the head of the bed) 17 books wide: a trip from bed to toilet will require crawling down the mattress, over a chair, down a ladder and then sideways through the dining and kitchen area. Opening a refrigerator will require stepping into a different room, but hey, some people might find this charming.

Click though to see the photos of the location. The alley it’ll be in is almost unbelieveably narrow. It’ll be finished in December and Etgar plans to move in shortly thereafter.

Detroit Bike City

Of the 3 cities I’ve lived in since college (DC, Chicago, Detroit), I know more bikers here in Detroit than the others. Of course, a lot of my friends in Chicago rode but it seems that everyone in Detroit has a passion for bikes.

It feels like TriBeCa back in the early days, before double strollers, sidewalk cafes and Whole Foods,” said Amy Moore, 50, a film producer working on three Detroit projects. “There is a buzz here that is real, and the kids drip with talent and commitment, and aren’t spoiled.

This must be the most delicious place to attend university in all of the United Kingdom. I’ve also heard the golf isn’t too shabby.

Awkward Moments

  • Wife: There's a big painting to hang above the couch.
  • Me: I hate that. It's ugly.
  • Old Woman standing in front of painting: I'm buying this.

Imported From Detroit

I know this isn’t the most glamourous ad shown tonight but it gave me, and probably any Detroiter, chills while watching it. From the Diego Rivera’s DIA mural to Joe Louis’s fist to the Fox Theater… I’d say it’s a good representation of our fair city.

Take a look at the “new” chevy.com. It’s eerily reminiscent of another car company website that I know pretty well - seeing as my wife works on it everyday. The saddest thing is that I still think the Ford site is a more well thought out and user friendly site… even though it’s almost two years old.

For everyone staring down the barrel of DeathSnow 2011, here’s a way to take your mind off of tonight and tomorrow. Google Art Project is like a street view for some of the top museums around the world. You can navigate around the gallery, view pieces with extreme close ups (The Starry Night above for example), find media on the piece and learn about the artist. I’m floored by how much this could’ve helped me 10 years ago when I was in art school.
