Weekly Web Round Up!
Author:Lindsey ShookOur weekly round up of what our design friends on the web are reporting on.
![]() | I got to spend the holidays in Medellin, Colombia this past winter, and besides getting to eat a lot of fried pig’s skin, I saw some incredible modern architecture. The once-deadly city has been transformed, in no small part to great design. Via PBS |

After a few too many (and too pricey) ebay bids, I scooped up a mint-condition black rotary (forth down on the blog) for a mere $4 at a garage sale. Here are a host of pretty options, as well as direct links for where to buy. Via Remodelista |
