Always awesome to see all the megaman sprite artwork as a desktop background.

Fast Friday: Mercedes Benz CLA250
Mercedes Benz has been upping their game recently with the new CLA250.
I’m not a huge fan of their cars, but the recent styling updates they’ve been making are nice.
Can you believe that this new model starts at just under 30k?
Okay, sure, with all the options, I’m sure this the price skyrockets, but looks better than most cars in the same price range.
Sadly, like the old C250, it’s underpowered. The turbocharged 4 cylinder engine goes 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds. With 208hp and 258lb-ft torque, it’s designed to be a daily economical-luxury car.
If I was in the market for a brand new $30k sedan, the CLA250 looks compelling. With sharp styling and an affordable price tag, I’d pick it over most other sedans.

Thursday Thought: Unanswered Questions
TED Curator Chris Anderson shares his boyhood obsession with quirky questions that seem to have no answers.
I remember watching this a while ago. It’s always a humbling reminder to explore these kinds of questions… even if they’re kind of nutty.
1. How many universes are there?
2. Why can’t we see evidence of alien life?
The Blogger Behind tablefortwoblog.com
I got to meet Julie, the blogger behind tablefortwoblog.com yesterday. She does a great job of presenting her food with wonderful plating and beautiful photography. I’m amazed by how much she makes on the side by blogging. I now feel reinvigorated to blog more after seeing her success. The crazy thing is that she does this in her spare time!
Check out her site. There are some pretty sweet recipes in there.
Microsoft Office Interior
At Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington, Building 4 houses the company’s office innovation team, a staff of planners tasked with determining how offices will work and what they will look like in the next 15 years.
I mean wow, this is a really cool space. Well thought out and absolutely stunning. This must have been a really fun project to work on. Check out more work from O+A.
The Giant Pixel Office Interior
Giant Pixel in San Francisco is a software developer occupying three floors near the City’s Mint Plaza, an area known for creative redevelopment and modernity drawn from vintage architecture. With a busy Blue Bottle Coffee shop as neighbor and stylish restaurants just minutes away, Giant Pixel wanted a casual urban look in keeping with its neighborhood.
I’m really loving some of the design elements in this office. The only thing I’d be worried about is noise. Working in an open environment with wood floors is pretty much going to make sound travel. I probably would have installed sound insulation panels on the ceilings. Nonetheless, space is brilliant. Check out more work by O+A, the architecture firm.
