The Way Portugal Apparently Sees Europe
It's always funny to see how the rest of the world views your home country. Having lived in another country, I think it's even more interesting to check out how different people's views are. They always seem to differ. I have been asked if we have polar bears on the streets here in Sweden, and also ...

Every Company Microsoft Ever Invested In [Infographic]
We all know that Microsoft was taken to court for possibly monopolizing several aspects of the software market by acquiring company after company that they were supposedly competing with on the market. This became one of the most news worthy court cases in the history of the computer industry, and w ...
Discarded Maps Recycled Into Impressive Human Portraits
It's quite impressive to think that some people out there go out of their way to recycle their old things into new ones. It doesn't really matter what it is, they seem to find a use for it anyway. Sometimes the new use is even better than the old one. It's easy to be amazed by the Steampunk creation ...
Name The Flick: 91 Cult Movies On A New York Map
I think I have mentioned this before, but New York is one of the most popular sets for movies in the history of Hollywood, or at least it seems that way. Not too long ago I wrote an article about the superhero jam packed districts of New York, including their real addresses. 9 superheroes in close p ...
Superhero Star Map: New York City Is The Place
Everyone who has been to Hollywood in Los Angeles knows that you can drive around in Beverly Hills and Bel Air and look at famous people's houses. What you won't be able to avoid are the "Star Maps" stands all around Hollywood which point out exactly where all the famous people live. If you don't wa ...
Geek Heaven: The Map of the Internet
I remember back in the days when I didn't have a computer at home with Internet access. My first ISP was Mindspring, and to this day, I still have my first Mindspring email address. I pay extra each month just to keep it. I'm a sucker for anything retro and nostalgic, including email addresses.
I ...

The History of Science Fiction [Unfreakingbelieveable Infographic]
I know, I know... unfreakingbelievable isn't a word, is it? It doesn't even matter because you'll forget all about that when you see this mind-blowing insanely well put together infographic on the history of science fiction.

There truly isn't anything that can't be explained, illustrated, built or conceived with Lego bricks. If you do a search on this blog for Lego articles, you will be blow away by the creativity and information that can be portrayed in a Lego build.
When you look at just one Lego brick, it seems s ...
Virtual Map: Take A Trip To Italy Right Now
Back in the old days, if you wanted to check out a new city, you either had to read a map or travel there. Now it's a lot different. I don't even know how to read a map, and I don't have to since I have two GPS systems in my car (hey, you never know when one might fail). Thanks to technology, we ...

The United States of Awesome and Shame [Infographic]
If you live in the United States like I do, you know that some states do things more or less than other states. For example, I live in the south, which is the Bible Belt of the country. It's no surprise that down here there are the most churches and the highest rate of church attendance compared t ...
Design: City Maps Hand-Woven From Typography
Lately, I've seen a lot of people go back and forth online debating about what typography actually is. I guess since I'm not a designer, I am excused from not knowing how the traditionalists view it. To me, typography is text in different colors, fonts, shapes and sizes put together to create some ...
Gift A Stranger: Hi Tech Random Acts of Kindness
Everyone loves to do and receive random acts of kindness, right? At least most people I know do. I've always been a fan of this, and I try to do things in my daily life to bring that extra sunshine to others. For example, it's always fun to pay for the car behind me at the tollbooth on Georgia 40 ...
Inception: Christopher Nolan’s Hand-Drawn Map Keeps Us Sane
Inception is the movie that really changed our perception of dreams. That movie is still fresh in my mind and the ending still makes for quite a mind twister. Will there be a second movie or was it the end? I guess time will have to tell, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing a second movie in the fran ...
Personalize Your GPS With Your Favorite Photo!
I remember several months ago when TomTom added Darth Vader, C-3PO, Yoda and Han Solo to their voice collection. Like Richard wrote in this article about it, I thought I was gonna be the coolest mother effer by having Darth Vader give me directions. After all, I already have the Chewbacca ringtone ...
Table Globe Chandelier: Finest Use Of Old Light Globes!
I remember when I was a young kid (yeah, it wasn't that long ago), we used to have one of those table globes at home. It was one of those that lit up when you turned it on. I was amazed by the countries and the different parts of the world, and I couldn't get myself to stop watching it. I always ...
