Buy by Brian

Discovered via Buddhist in Nebraska (always linked at right)...

Buy by Brian is a blog by a guy who had nearly everything he owned stolen out of a moving van in San Francisco. On the day of the theft – August 22 of 2007 — he began the blog by documenting the theft. Since then, he has itemized every single thing he has acquired: clothes, furniture, the works. He details what he paid for it, its country of origin when he knows it (some of the stuff came from garage sales or was just scavenged) and his reason for buying it.

His Zero Day post is here, and the updates are here.

Brian is a designer, btw, which is a somewhat more high-falutin' version of what I do, so I'm interested in some of his aesthetic choices.
