Zagula spells trouble

I am looking for one of these. The Moma Store used to carry them but no longer. It is a simple, super modern Christmas Tree designed by Kuno Prey, a professor at the famous Bauhaus design school in Germany

It is made from industrial bottle brushes dyed green and then inserted into a bright-red wood pole, the tree looks great decorated or undecorated.

Here are some places with descriptions - click or click. If anyone knows where to get one, please add a comment or trackback. Thanks, John

Love these things. They are fun, cool, simple and nicely executed. See more at the source. Buy them at Unica Home or at another cool store, WishingFish.

So yeah, I co-wrote a book, but it's not nearly as cool as this.

My college roomate and good friend, Ed Kern, an historian at Lawrence college and all around super learned dude, wrote a very, very cool book. The Wisdom of Harry Potter: What Our Favorite Hero Teaches Us About Moral Choices.

As a parent, who's boys love, love, love Harry and talk about him quite a lot, it is great to see a book that is targetted to parents and how they can help use the wonderful lessons in the book with their kids.

Here's a nice interview with Ed about the book and about Mr. Potter.

Congrats Ed!!
