This amazing piece of architecture is The Universe House, a structure designed by Tatiana Bilbao and based on the Jantar Mantar Astronomical Observatory in Delhi. The Universe House is unique because it is built so that the roof of the house holds an in-ground circular swimming pool/jacuzzi. Definitely a neat little design aesthetic that I’d love as part of my own home someday. Plus, it’s nice that you can sit in that pool and still overlook the ocean. Beautiful, eh?

Newsweek just published their list of top 1500 high schools in the United States and LaGuardia High School of Music and Art & Performing Arts is ranked #767.
The #1 high school in the US is called Talented and Gifted. I wonder where those students are headed.
View from the top of the World Trade Center

I’ve personally never been to the top of the former World Trade Center towers in Lower Manhattan, and it never occurred to me that I could virtually visit the top via YouTube. There are quite a few of these home videos and I’m glad they’re online.
Coffee Top Caddie carries sugar and cream on top of the lid
April 8, 2009 @ 11:43 am
Joshua Harris designed this innovative new coffee lid to free up your hands when grabbing a cup of coffee. The new lid features a place to hold milk/cream and sugar without having to worry about it falling as you’re walking.
Seems simple enough, but no coffee lid I’ve ever come across has ever featured these must-have slots.
Hedgefunds by Christian Lessing
February 4, 2009 @ 8:42 am
Hedgefunds is a personal savings deposit that resembles those old coin donation buckets in malls where you would drop a coin in and watch it spiral downwards into a hole in the center (I believe they are extinct now since I haven’t seen one in a mall in ages). But instead of taking up a quarter of your room, designer Christian Lessing has shrunk the idea and turned it into this thing you can fit on your desk.
If you’ve been to my room at all, you’ll know that I keep all of my coins in a jar similar to this — just without the top portion, and I think I’d have a much more enjoyable time saving my cents if I had this contraption. No idea how much it costs, but it looks “designery”, so I bet it’ll cost me all of my savings just to buy one. Ironic, huh.
