Disneyland Dream Suites

Great photo collection of the Disneyland Dream suite and the Pirates of the Caribbean suite.  I really want to take a bath in the Dream suite tub.  The room even has a glass slipper!

What's in an American Name?

Here's an interactive map featuring the Native American meaning behind the names of lakes, rivers, mountains, states, cities, and small towns across the United States.  I question some of the translations, but it's still interesting.

Math Playground

Check out this finished "math playground" that was built for school children in Uganda.  It's a very cool concept.

Project H designers Heleen De Goey and Dan Grossman have completed the construction of the first Learning Landscape math playground at the Kutamba School for AIDS Orphans in Southern Uganda. After nearly 3 weeks on site, they have finished the grid’s construction, and have been tirelessly working with the teachers and students on the implementation and adaptation of the games: “Around The World,” “Match Me,” and others, which teach elementary math concepts. The playground even integrates a bench system for added functionality as outdoor seating or assembly space.

Heart Shaped Map

 

Here's a heart-shaped map of the New York subway that was created by a Korean design firm.  It's pretty!
