Reflective room numbers hang on a hook next to the door so that you can see which room is yours even if you are at the end of the hall.
The W Hotel is awesome. Installment 1
I stayed at the W for the first time ever and was blown away by how all the tiny little things they do add up to such a big positive experience.
I knew this place was going to be interesting as soon as I stepped into an elevator and was greeted, not by stale air, but by the smell of scented oils and incense.
Brainstorming in a group became popular in 1953 with the publication of a business book, Applied Imagination. But it’s been proven not to work since 1958, when Yale researchers found that the technique actually reduced a team’s creative output: the same number of people generate more and better ideas separately than together.

Come on Google, you’re better than that and you’re better than them.
Nice try by the the Phoenix Design Week crew. 2010 would mark their 2nd (yes 2nd) go around with this event. I went to the first one. It was ok, but even if it was great I would not blindly hand them $89, plus an unexplained fee of $3.21 in the hopes that they actually put together a good schedule of events and presenters.
This move mirrors the ego-maniacal traits that most of the people I saw at last year’s event possessed. We are awesome, come see just how awesome, and if you don’t see it we’ll talk for an hour about how awesome we are and if then you still don’t see it you are a fool and we hate you, go away.

I’m not sure how to ‘carefully’ use an elevator so I’m just gonna take the stairs.
