Petitinvention is a great blog with many ace designs and ideas. Yesterday they had a Mac/Gmail integration idea which looks smart and would really help user interaction; customizable Gmail icons for the Mac menu bar which would notify of emails from a specified contact.

Having been a big Lego fan from forever I’m always just a little bit excited when I see a Lego creation that does something a bit crazy or unusual – even though I know that there are millions of sets and pieces out there. I also quite like things that are minimalistic so when I found this rather basic moon habitat base thing by Jon Palmer I was quite excited. It’s sort of like a classier version of this moon base thingy; part of his inspiration came from these amazing Lego towers/hills.
