MERCHANTS OF COOL Reflection

This movie was interesting – I found it pretty funny while watching it but in all reality, it’s pretty disguisting some of the facts that came out of it. The younger kids are getting into technology, the younger they are morphed into what the media suggests is SO HOT RIGHT NOW. I can’t believe that [...]

Flatpak Houses & Blu Dot Designs

If you like modern architecture, this is a pretty neat architect to check out. Charlie Lazor (a fellow Minnesotan) started both Flatpak and Blu Dot.
