“Matthew Adams outside his 120-square-foot house by Modern Cabana on his 160 acres near Red Bluff, Calif. He wanted a well-designed dwelling that would have the least effect on his land.”

Minimalism and thinking small meshes well with eco-friendly culture and attempts to live off the grid.  From an article at the NYTImes.

A wave of interest in such small dwellings — some to serve, like the Shepherds’ home, as temporary housing, others to become space-saving dwellings of a more permanent nature — has prompted designers and manufacturers to offer building plans, kits and factory-built houses to the growing number of small-thinking second-home shoppers.

If one of the largest retailers in the world is facing its demise from a failure to differentiate what chance do you think your small business stands doing the same. Even in the event of a power play, Edmonton could have a hard time beating Luongo to buy C-17 military cargo planes, CBC News has learned.

Those spambots are getting stranger every day.
