    In This House We…

    I often write how you shouldn’t take the name of the We Are Family™ wave too literally. It’s about finding identity through commonality, not just blood relations. We have life evidence in this wave that spans from barely known subcultures to fun ways to meet and connect with your community. Bottom line is:  this wave [...]

    “Skill Based” Exclusivity

    “For the 2011 Bohemian Hostel for Backpackers Competition, Polish architecture and design firm UGO created a slightly frightening but impressive outdoor sleeping setup called Barcelona Rock Hostel. Designed for the adventurist, the 50-room hotel features a rock pool with diving board, spa, gym, cinema, bar, shops and climbing wall for beginners.” When I came across [...]

Knoll is known for their ergonomic yet stylish office chairs.  They recently launched myGeneration, “an online hub where people can share their individual work styles and experiences using Knoll’s ergonomic Generation chair.” User’s create [...]

    How Does Your Country Party?

    So, this is one example of what I’m talking about when I talk about “The Experience.” Smirnoff has launched a cool campaign of cultural exchange, centered around partying. Fourteen countries have signed up for the “experiment in global nightlife culture” and are packing their favourite music, food, dance moves, fashion, bands and DJ’s into one crate and sending it to one of the other countries.

    My Generation

    I’m not much for scripted dramas, usually because usually because I cannot relate to them, but this weekend I saw a preview for something that struck a nerve, it’s a new show ABC has coming out called My Generation.

    Mapping Main Street

    Main Street USA; it is a staple of political rhetoric, we are told of its suffering at the hands of big box retailers, but where exactly is Main Street and what does it look like?

    McDonald’s Japan’s “America Burgers”

    Texas, Hawaii, New York and California. That seems somewhat broad to describe America doesn’t it? Well, to the folks over at McDonald’s Japan that seems just about right when it comes to flavor profiling.

    Spare A thought For the “Un-Traditional”
