Why is wear and tear so beautiful to some of us?  Texture?  Beauty through usage (beausage)?

• http://us.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/m9/  I don't quite understand these cameras.  But I would still love one.  I guess it's the simple tool-like style I like more than anything.
• http://www.readymade.com/blog/readymade/2011/06/16/farewell_readymakers  I read this and I was sad.  Then I looked at the date.  Last June?!  Well, that explains why I've been having a hard time finding the magazine:  they stopped making it!  R.I.P. Readymade- you were a great, inspiring, outside-the-box DIY magazine, and you deserved to go on forever.  It's really too bad you couldn't have held on just a little longer, because I really believe the culture is changing in your direction.  Which you helped along- so sad you're not here to enjoy the fruits of your labor.  But of course all of those which gave it its soul are still around.
