the coolest invention on earth



My favorite appliance. Just installed it. Basking in cool air. Couldn't be happier.



Why would someone in Seattle need an air conditioner? In April?

When we built this studio/workshop a year ago, I quickly learned what its design flaw is. Small, extremely well-insulated, high cielings, small windows, filled with computer equipment and high-intensity lights, it's a virtual pizza oven. When it's 75 degrees outside, it's 95 degrees inside. Even when it cools down at night, outside, it stays hot inside. I had three fans going last summer, and still resisted getting an air-conditioner. This year, I didn't wait for summer. I got it three weeks ago. I parked the box next to my desk and waited for a hot day (it's 80 degrees today, warm by Seattle standards) then ripped the box open and installed it. As we used to say in Texas, boy howdy! Sure is cool in here.
