For most city dwellers, having a weekend house traditionally meant getting away from it all—perhaps to a place near the water, or somewhere nestled in the piney woods. But then came the overdevelopment of many formerly bucolic enclaves, and its ugly twin: the unbearable drudgery of weekend traffic.

5 Ranch Homes With Modern-Day Appeal
houzz
In the early '70s, before my family moved to Los Angeles from Northern California, we lived in a 1960s ranch-style house. Our house was in a huge tract with other homes of this style, with dramatic low and horizontal rooflines with gable and hip profiles. The layouts were either L shaped or U shaped, and rambled on with main living spaces on one side and bedrooms on the other. The main living spaces were open, with oversize windows that gave an outdoors-in feeling. I remember meals on TV trays (walnut veneer, of course) in front of the big stone fireplace in the family room, which was adjacent to the kitchen.

Building a Better Pinterest Through Data
Mashable
Big Data" is as much a terrifying term as it is a ubiquitous part of daily life. It wasn't always so, however. Until we developed and learned how to use technology that could process and finesse massive amounts of data, we lived in the dark. And once we could gather that data, we needed more and more people to interpret it.
