*the ny times*

I must confess that ever since I worked for a magazine, I've had the New York Times on my bookmark toolbar. I'm pretty sure this impressed my old boss; how many 23 year olds do you know that read the New York Times every day? But I have to reveal that I rarely read any of the grown-up newsy parts, it is on the toolbar exclusively because of the Arts & Style pages and, of course, the link to T Magazine (an extension of the Style section that "curates the culture of style") I've talked before about Maira Kalman's amazingly beautiful online editorials. Rita Konig (formerly of Domino) also has her own blog in T magazine. Here are a few of my most recent, fascinating NYT finds:

This is a really interesting article on globalism and culture.

Robert Whiteman is on a mission to revive interest in Liberty magazine (which was published from the mid-1920s to mid-1950s). I was fascinated by the cover art. You can read more about the project here.

This is an article on modern dollhouses. The first artist is Annina Gunther, and I must confess I am now totally addicted to her blog and flickr page!

Michelle de la Vega turned a 250 sq. ft. garage into a modern house for $32,000... very cool.

Butch Anthony is an artist with an amazing home just outside of Columbus, Georgia. Each year he hosts Doo Nanny, a unique sort of folk art gathering.
