This is what happens when you leave an artist in Starbucks with a pen in hand... Starbucks. Avid coffee-lovers always insist that the coffee there really isn't that great, but once the green and white logo is spotted, everyone always seems to pop in anyway. Through her illustrations, it is quite clear that Japanese artist Tomoko Shintani is quite the Starbucks fan. She managed to merge . . .

First one home on a Friday night. Nothing to complain about, I've had my vodka lime soda, antipasto and a cheese platter.

Sometimes I . . .
Red Bull Spacejump
"Red Bull gives you wings" - in this case, it most certainly does. Forget football games or NASCAR races, Red Bull decides to sponsor a skydive...from space. To think that I was excited when I found out Virgin was giving out a trip to space as part of their frequent flyers program (actually, that's still quite exciting). This seems like insanity. Last Sunday, over 8 million people tuned into . . .
