Vanity Fair asks an interesting question. And then lists the top 22 buildings since 1980.

The list looks good to me but there are no houses!!! Seriously, not one?

Interestingly after spending trillions and going through the largest construction boom of modern times. London has just the Lloyds building, which to me is a copy of the Centre Pompidou which couldn’t make the list because it is pre-1980.

Finally, Dubai must also be upset!

Every now and then technology brings a moment of magic. I remember seeing my first VHS program (James Bond!) and taking 15 mins to work out what was happening. Or the first time I saw GPS in a car. GoSkyWatch is one of those moments.

When I look at the sky at night, I see stars but have no knowledge of what they all are.

Hold your iPad up over the sky and it identifies what you’re seeing. It’s beyond incredible.

Found this by accident and so far it’s worked for me very well. I actually get stuff done (sort of).

It’s well worth the money and has more options than you’ll ever use.

It really is very good software.
