DOGHOUSE design tends to be popular with architects and home builders, who sometimes refer to it as “barkitecture”

Hugo, a French bulldog in California, has little use for his eco-doghouse, which has a succulent garden. But his owners like it.

The supermodel Rachel Hunter commissioned this replica of her Mediterranean-style house in the Los Angeles area from La Petite Maison, which built it more than a decade ago and charged more than $16,000.
It has handmade roof tiles, a terra cotta floor, wrought-iron details and dog-themed artwork on the walls.
“I’ve got all kinds of really great ideas that I want to do for doghouses,” said Ms. Thulin-Joyce, who runs a pet décor boutique called Decadent Digs.

“Music that comes on when the dog walks in,” she said. “And windmills on top.”

The Busytown Trap
If your job wasn’t performed by a cat or a boa constrictor in a Richard Scarry book I’m not sure I believe it’s necessary.
― tokyo rosemary, Sunday, 1 July 2012 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
imho it goes a level deeper than this piece even dares to admit, people are not actually busy

“The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That’s why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.” This may sound like the pronouncement of some bong-smoking anarchist, but it was actually Arthur C. Clarke, who found time between scuba diving and pinball games to write “Childhood’s End” and think up communications satellites. My old colleague Ted Rall recently wrote a column proposing that we divorce income from work and give each citizen a guaranteed paycheck, which sounds like the kind of lunatic notion that’ll be considered a basic human right in about a century, like abolition, universal suffrage and eight-hour workdays. The Puritans turned work into a virtue, evidently forgetting that God invented it as a punishment.
none of this is particularly radical or crazy

Notice it isn’t generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the I.C.U. or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are; what those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted. Dead on their feet. It’s almost always people whose lamented busyness is purely self-imposed: work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they’ve “encouraged” their kids to participate in. They’re busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they’re addicted to busyness and dread what they might have to face in its absence. - opposite of my experience, maybe hang out w/ someone who's not rich and/or ted rall

a better read of the article would be 'professional cartoonist proposes gov't guaranteed income'
