Writer's Distractions - A Reader's Dream Home

This is an actual house in Japan. The entire interior space is lined with book shelves. Even the stairs are more shelves.​

Even though I've gone pretty much 100% digital except for signed copies and other special collectibles, I love the look of this place and could see wanting something similar some day.​

​This is an absolutely gorgeous retrofit of a model of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A into a remote controlled submarine. The resulting film is outstanding and shows the grace with which these ships can move.

Writer's Distractions - Lord of the Rings' Hobbiton Sets Abandoned

You can't see this any more in real life, but between the filming of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Hobbiton was left abandoned and disassembled, the set stripped away. If you were to go there now, after The Hobbit, you'd find the hobbit village constructed ​for real and visitable. 

This temporary relic remains only in photographic records now, and carries an empty quality that I like quite a bit.​
