Verizon often takes its sweet time getting the latest phones, and Samsung’s new alpha dog, the Galaxy S5, is no exception — AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint all nabbed it first. However, at least Big Red’s sweetening the pot on the 5.1-inch, Full HD,…
Paris is a bloodshot eyeball, São Paulo spreads out like a watercolor, and L.A. is a glorious mess. You can see how three very different metropolises expand and sprawl in these gorgeous animations produced as part of NYU’s Stern Urbanization Project, examining the growth of cities.

In this day and age, we tend to have this particular mindset that things need to get done fast, efficiently, and as quickly as possible. After all, time and tide wait for no man, so efficiency is the keyword here. While guys have far less fashion combos to think about compared to the ladies, there is always a way to spice things up where your cupboard is concerned. So you go to the office while wearing a tie and coat, and having the same ensemble each day is not recommended. Why not get at least a different tie every day for two weeks? Keeping track of those ties can get quite tricky, but why not start the day on the right footing with the $59.99 Motorized Tie Rack?
The Motorized Tie Rack would certainly lend you that air of importance, especially when it can organize and access roughly 50 ties and belts in any combination. Installation is a snap as it clamps on to any standard closet rod and can be tightened using a tension screw. With but a single touch of a button, the rotating carousel would be able to move clockwise or counterclockwise, where it will also be illuminated by a trio of white LEDs, letting you pick out a tie in the dark without waking the rest of the room up. A quartet of C batteries power this puppy, so don’t worry about having to add another power outlet near your wardrobe.

Did you know a bike rack can become a fold-down seat? Or that you can charge your phone at sign posts? Or that a barricade is easily repurposed as a bench? These are just some of the small but imaginative hacks that make the concrete jungle a slightly more delightful and welcoming place.

If you want to play LEGO Game of Thrones, you wish or you die. Nah, you go to Citizen Brick. The company that’s harvesting the fruits of LEGO’s refusal to create an adult line of toys has a series of minifigs with the awesomely bad title Dragon Sword Fighter Force. The familiarity is strong with this Force.
Heavily inspired by the characters from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels and HBO’s adaptation of said literature, the minifigs come in four separate packs with three toys each or as one big bundle of 12 toys. That’s not all – if you buy all 12 minifigs at once, you get a bonus minifig that looks like Mr. Martin himself. Though to be fair there are millions of men who look like Sir Typesalot.
Betray your browser and head to Citizen Brick to purchase the Ga– Dragon Sword Fighter Force minifigs. Each three-pack costs $55 (USD). The 12-pack bundle won’t save you any money because it costs $220, but at least it’ll come with Sir Types A.A. Lot.
