Creative Architecture: Starbucks Coffee Design In Japan
Like many Universities here in the States, when I was in school, we were required to study Starbucks and how they've successfully built their business since 1971.

Panic Room: Bedroom Design That Illustrates Both Creativity & Logic
I was just talking to a friend of mine at Apple yesterday, and he asked me what ear I put my iPhone up to when I answer it.

Lego Church: A Full-Size Real Church Adorned In Lego
This is my kind of church! If there were a church made out of Lego in my town, I'd be the first one there every Sunday morning.

Where’s Waldo: Star Wars, Batman, TARDIS, Spock & Lego Man Style
I think one reason why Where's Waldo has stayed popular for so many years is because it's one of the few puzzles that when you find the answer, you are left with such polarizing emotions. It's really a bizarre feeling. On one hand, you feel a huge sense of accomplishment because you've just spent wh ...
