Shared: Robie House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright 1909

A new Flickr Favorite by David Arpi.

The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright’s Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed one hundred years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.

A new Flickr Favorite by Aman Deshmukh.

A pessimistic frame of mind and a general lack of a ‘feel-good-feeling’ – thanks to the fear of the approaching board exams and the harshness of the fact that school life will finally come to an end – is popping the weirdest ideas in my head.
Just this afternoon, I started thinking about failure. And that got me thinking : how could I represent failure in a photograph? Failing at a task, perhaps? And that train of thought led me to this image.

Tips for writers – Dave Barry – MiamiHerald.com:

Dear Mister Language Person: I am curious about the expression, “Part of this complete breakfast.” The way it comes up is, my 5-year-old will be watching TV cartoon shows in the morning, and they’ll show a commercial for a children’s compressed breakfast compound such as “Froot Loops” or “Lucky Charms, ” and they always show it sitting on a table next to a some actual food such as eggs, and the announcer always says: “Part of this complete breakfast.” Don’t they really mean, “Adjacent to this complete breakfast, ” or “On the same table as this complete breakfast”? And couldn’t they make essentially the same claim if, instead of Froot Loops, they put a can of shaving cream there, or a dead bat? A. Yes.
