Great looking tower from Calatrava. An abandoned skyscraper from the the recent housing bubble has even more bad news. It appears the site owners have defaulted on their loan.

Very cool collaboration.
EDIT: Fox took the video down, “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Twentieth Century Fox.”
EDIT Again: Apparently, Fox decided the video is good to go after all.
Great ipad case design from DODOcase. They recently added the option to pick the color of the inner binding. Originally, they only offered red backing. Watch the master book binders build a DODOcase after the break.
Watch a Master Bookbinder puts together a DODOcase.

Finally, an award we can appreciate. Everyone’s favorite cable tv giant was recently awarded the very dubious honor of Worst Company in America by The Consumerist .
