    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

    Hi all.

    First, I wanted to thank my new backers. Your support is sincerely appreciated. It's a really great feeling to get a new backer for a project you really believe in. Feeling fortunate this morning, I made a small pledge to 10 other great projects on Kickstarter, including beta cup- they want to hold a design competition to find an alternative to the ubiquitious, and NON-recyclable, to-go paper coffee cup.

    Also this week, I had the great opportunity to chat with Sabine Modder, managing editor of MocoLoco, *the* premier blog for contemporary architecture and design. It's one I check every day, and it was a great pleasure to have The Office for Lost Objects™ featured there. Take a look at the interview here:

    Happy Holidays!
