A good cup holder can be a godsend when you’re on the move with a hot cup of coffee. The features you want to look for are a holder that will securely support the cup with a non-slip surface, be adjustable for various sizes, and allow for easy access. But most importantly, the design must prevent the cup from tipping over. So…. epic fail with the building ventilation system holder. Did you get burned?

If you were to design and build an eight foot wreath made entirely out of orange balloons, how many balloons do you think you would need? And how many cubic feet of air will be necessary to inflate them all? And by what means would you attach them all together into a Round?

The historic Carousel Building is a 5,000 square foot, three-quarter ornate copper clad rotunda that is a landmark along the waterfront and now home to the Wooden Walls Project, a non-profit art initiative based in Asbury Park, NJ. The Carousel section is part of the Casino Building, a striking 1929 beaux arts structure designed by architect Whitney Warren and partner Charles Wetmore (designers of Grand Central Terminal in New York).

If you look closely into the spiraling form of a cala lily flower, it is like a passageway through space and time.

Well, this bollard looks like it was snapped off like a twig. When a million and a half people have walked around in one day celebrating in the streets, there’s bound to be some cleanup to be done.

Alarm is going off. Time to rise and shine for another grand Monday morning! There's a big day ahead. C'mon, sleepyhead, open those eyes. Aw, don't bang your head on the headboard. That's not what it's for, no matter what day it is.

Like a spherical bug-eyed Pokemon, this little deep sea camera will give an oceanographer the eyes for some stunning underwater pictures.

America’s Most Historic Square Mile is a three-block section of Independence National Historical Park ringed by a variety of cultural landmarks. On the south side Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Next door, the Liberty Bell Center houses the iconic cracked bell, and the President's House Site shows the foundation of a home where George Washington and John Adams once resided with enslaved individuals. Just across Market Street the Independence Visitor Center welcomes people from all over the world.

Halo – can you hear me?

Halo – fading in silence
I know you hear me –
I know you’re there being quiet
Someday a song I’ll sing for you
that finally says goodbye
Right now the words won’t come to me –
I’m torn apart trying

Love grows – but not when you’re absent
What that can do to trust -
look what it’s done for us
How could it change from what it was
So quickly to what it is now?
After that mad year dreading this –
the fear of finding out
