This bed, the 21 Street Bed, seems to exist of nothing more than 4 parts: a headboard, a plank holding the mattress, and two pieces of wood keeping it off of the ground. All made out of honest oak.
Beneath the mattress the designer had to add some necessary details, but designed all of them which great taste and care; signs of true craftmanship.
The 21 Street Bed was designed by New Yorker Zach Hadlock, owner of Platform. He designs and produces his own furniture, but also works for interior designers to create one-off pieces.

PowerBook 12” 867mhz - útilware.com:
“QUITE POSSIBLY THE WORLD’S MOST PERFECT COMPUTER”
Hard for me to disagree with that statement. This is a wonderful ode to a fine machine. I have one sitting, rarely used but in perfect running order, on my workbench right now. There are a few dents and the tilde key is missing but I can’t find the heart to part with it. It is, by far, my favorite Mac ever made (Powerbook 2400 runs a very close second).

There is is. My current iPhone home screen. It is a bit of a shame it is all going to change sometime right after I post this.
See here is the deal, I have come to believe that the only icons that should be on the first screen are the ones you really use. And by use I mean at least once a week and ideally several times a day. And while I can say for certain that applies to many of the apps that you see in this screenshot, others I am less sure about.
Therefore, here is the plan. With the exception of those in the “dock” area (Phone, Mail, Messages, and Safari) which I consider crucial to the entire point of even having an iPhone, I am going to clear everything from the home screen. Any apps that get accessed more than once in the course of the next week will be allowed to come back. Why more than once? Well, that disqualifies any anomalies (i.e I need to use this one thing out of the blue this particular week even though I rarely use it).
I will post next week to show you what remains.
