So Funny, I Had to Officially Repost It

So those few of you who still read this blog because it occasionally has something to do with home improvement might relate at least a tiny bit to the feeling i have that runs nearly nonstop in the background of my mind as if it were an operating system, namely the continuous processing of visual stimuli through a design filter of this is simply divine vs. holy hell what were they thinking?! Of course, most of the time it's less at the end of the spectrum and more along the lines of that's a cool idea or this would be so much better if they just...  I'd like to say i'm not a judgmental person but this is clearly contradicted by the inspirations or imagined improvements i silently make in my head to pretty much everything the hand of man has touched.  If i have a belief in god it is due entirely to the fact that about the only place that does not inspire such yearnings to rearrange is nature, which i generally find to be perfect - from the environmental and civil engineering to the architecture and interior design.

Anyway, for those of you constantly envisioning a way to improve every room of your house and everyone else's, the office, or the building down the street, this McSweeney's repost is for you: When Aesthetics Get in the Way of Larceny.
