Future of the Newsstand

Car App Store

This is a brilliantly conceived idea. Let's see if the user experience follows. Navigation screens should be built around driver experience and not limited to what is factory installed.

Building Bullet Proof Brands

In tough economic times brands are now more than ever putting out not just campaigns but brand re-enforcement messages. Check out this one from Lexus..

The Price is Right?

The Latest on a Modern Prefab....
"The last time there was a check of architecture firm Marmol Radziner's prefab Desert Hot Springs home, the residence had dropped to $1.2 million. You'll recall that the home hit the market at $1.85 million just about a year ago, but has undergone three pricechops so far (the home is great, but the location probably only draws a limited pool of buyers). People, we got another chop. It's a lovely time to visit the desert and this home can be yours for $1.05 million. UPDATE*: Strange. The MLS listing has been removed. But it's still on Redfin, and yes, per looking at the Sunday LA Times advertisement and speaking to a real estate agent regarding the property, this is a short sale."
