A New York Times article about Berlin’s Grillwalkers – Men who walk around with a grill strapped to themselves, cooking and selling bratwurst on a roll.
The pictures of the dust storm that is sweeping over Sydney are amazing. Here is a nice collection on flickr.
Update: A set from the Big Picture just in.
It looks so beautiful and eerie, but what was it like to walk around in?

– Stuff my Girlfriend says on Tumblr
– Shit my Dad says on Twitter
Enjoy.
The definitive hamburger guide from A Hamburger Today. Hamburgers are one the reasons I would like to visit the US, although the yellow/orange cheese stuff looks pretty scary.
Bldgblog recently visited Australia and did a Tour or Li-Sun Exotic Mushroom Farm. I’ve bought them a few times at the Good Living Growers Market (they are excellent), but I had no idea how interesting their farm was!

Dangerous typographic choices in the workplace… The way stuff is perceived over email is quite interesting, I think a lot of the time tone is misconstrued. Even what sign off to use can be tricky.
Regards – too appropriate?
Warm regards – too predictable?
Kind regards - too predictable?
Best – too much of a brush off?
Cheers – too alcoholic/British?
Yours – too forward?
Fondly – too sexual?
Love and kisses – too cute?
I remain yours truly – too heavy?
Thanks – too repetitive?
I’d like to work out something more personal and original.
