There’s a new, modern, boutique hotel in Austin – the Heywood Hotel. It’s along the lines of Kimbermodern, but less expensive. Check out their website HERE and facebook page HERE. FYI the design is that of KRDB.

Let’s hear it for local family owned businesses with modern flair!

Stop SOPA & PIPA

bp — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:22:21 +0000

I am sure you all are aware of the opposition against SOPA & PIPA. In case you think this is a trivial thing not likely to affect you, just know that I have had to fight several attempts from local realtors to shut down this site due to their dislike of comments made by you, the readers, about listings we have featured. This was under the current rules of the DMCA. These new rules will make it easier for people to abuse piracy laws to censor those they disagree with as the burden of defense is often higher than just taking down the content or self-censoring yourself to begin with.
