House in Progress Diary

What are you DOING here? It's a HOLIDAY!

Really. You need to take a break from looking at home, um, improvement. It's Labor Day. Meaning a day to celebrate by NOT laboring. A day to fire up the grill and invite some pals into your backyard so they can look in horror at the mess you've bought.

Like we are.

So, while we are out in the yard, we can offer up these sites that we find interesting, clever and amusing (and educational!) and that we aren't usually able to feature because they have NOTHING to do with our topic. Home De-construction.

Check them out. You'll enjoy yourself. And have a happy Labor Day. From all of us at Home in Progress.

Chaos Kitty: Simply elegant and funny.

Ze Frank: Still the master of creativity and having a good time on the Internet. And, he mentions his mom a lot in his blog...always good to give a little love to the mom.

Things that are broken make me want to fix them. (Except companies. I've gotten out of that now. Because, well, they don't want to be fixed.) Plus, Mark Good is a very nice down to earth guy who knows his stuff.

This American Life...the real one.

My life right now. Except I'm in one house and these guys are everywhere.

Chicago Uncommon. Some of the most beautiful photography to be found documenting a city I love.

Ask my mom. She will tell you that I was born marching to the step of a different drummer. Which means that these following links will be of no surprise to her. But, if you just want to keep to the lighthearted portion of this holiday....do not cross this line, please.

Okay. You crossed it. So now you know. When I'm not blogging on this website and tearing up a house, I'm pretty outspoken regarding human rights, politics, social issues and truth in media.

Mark Fiore: Some people call him "Mr. Fiore" Politicians call him &*!@# I call him "MasterFlash Mark"

I love Walter Cronkite for making a comeback. I really, really do. And this time he gets to share HIS opinion, finally! Give us all heck WC...

I've said it before, I'm saying it again. I love The Daily Show. It's sad, though, when this show is the ONLY news show that gives me the bottom line on what's going on within my own government. And puts it into the clearest perspective.

And if I need to know what is really going on in Iraq...I go to the source.

Now with Bill Moyers...watch him.

The most compelling reality film footage you will ever see. Which should make the major networks ashamed, very ashamed.

They Rule. It's frightening. Do they rule you?

Finally, a long distance company with more substance than spam. I've been a loyal customer since 1995. I've never looked back.

And finally, he's caustic but he's honest. Mr. Moore and the best links to what we aren't getting from Faux and CNN. Especially funny? Mary Rosh, aka John Lott. But also terribly sad. Especially when you consider the shade of his/her lipstick. And that eyebrow pencil. I wonder if his gun matches his hat.
