Pangea Day

Ever wonder if someone is doing the same exact thing you are at the same exact moment?  Well this Saturday, May 10th, you will know… if you participate in Pangea Day!

Dog Spelled Backwards

I am a spiritual person… but not in the traditional sense of the word.  However these amazing churches are enough to make me… well, go to church!

My fifth installment of All Things English…
For me, shopping isn’t just about spending money and in return collecting things to take home.  I am more about the experience (maybe if I had more money to spend it would be different… who knows) which includes the sights, sounds and tastes!  That is why I cant wait [...]

Play with Reckless Abandon

Check out Fallon London’s new commercial called the Foam City for Sony Bravia.  The only thing that could top this commercial would be getting the chance to be in Miami for the filming of it.  See what you think…

Virtual Reality

It’s bad enough that I sit in front of the computer all day at work… I really dont need to feel like my home life is pixelating right underneath me with this couch by a Royal College of Art graduate student called Cristian Zuzunaga.

My third installment of All Things English…

I can’t wait to check out the East Beach Cafe in the small seaside town of Littlehampton.  This extraordinary fish ‘n chips hut looks like nothing you have ever seen before… or have you?!?! 

This restaurant was designed by Thomas Heatherwick, a British renaissance man who takes credit for designing loads of things [...]
