Café Jardin at the Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar





Today my mom and I met up with my aunt at Cafe Jardin for lunch. FOOD WAS EXCELLENT.

I had crab cakes with asparagus. It was very yummy, and for dessert I had a raspberry crème brûlée.

Lamborghini Takes Hybrids to a Whole New Level

Albeit still a concept car, Lamborghini just came out with these pics of their new sedan, the Estoque. (named after the sword matadors use to kill bulls.)

It's a whole… Continue

What a Bank!

In commercial real estate, Banks are up there near the top of snore design, which doesn't make sense for an industry so dependent on differentiated service and customer experience (they all offer the same product, after all). But improvements are on the way.



Several new bank design concepts are in the works, and some have been launched recently, including CheBanca! in Milan by Crea International. The concept for CheBanca! (translation: What… Continue

Redefining How to Digitally Process Photos, These Shots Are Truly Amazing!



Thomas Herbrich is a master of digital photography. His pictures are mindblowingly unique and create a story with each photo. In his words, "What makes a good picture?

Zhang Ziyi Mercedes-Benz Ads



Interesting brand campaign from Mercedes focusing solely on celebrity endorsement and feminine beauty (no car), featuring Chinese actress Zhang Zi Yi. Although her look is not exactly my cup of tea, I applaud her for her ultra mega success (but isn't there anyone else remotely cute who can kung-fu in a period gown?) .. unless she's a Fembot as I sometimes suspect. In that case, I applaud her for her acting.



BTW she is taken! Betrothed… Continue
