fun attractions but a really messed up society.

Tower of Babel?

that's just wrong.

totally agree w/ michael:)
- Shandiz
Tower of Babel! wow, there it is! how tall is that thing?!
- Susan Beebe
It'll be interesting in 10-15 years if that city dries up and becomes a ghost town - think of how cool it would be to tour that!
- Chrimmus Tad
This tower is already taller than the tallest skyscraper in the world (Taipei 101)

yikes... scary how monstrous that is... I wonder if someone is compensating for a small......... ego.

Orthanc?
- Akiva Moskovitz
surreal - since usually you see lots of other partially as high buildings around something like this - here its lots of open space
- mike "glemak" dunn
Oil money much?
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I just heard that Dubai has a third of the world's cranes.
- Gabe
I wonder if the tower of Babel looked like that?
- Robert
I have a feeling the next September 11 won't be in New York.
- John Lam
Do I sense jealousy? I think it's incredible. About time someone built something impressive. The US should follow suit with a suitably impressive WTC memorial. As for a messed up society? Pff, when your own house is in order then go after someone elses.
- Mo Kargas
Robert, I was thinking exactly the same thing ;)
- Graham Garland
any taller and it'll scratch our precious ozone
- Pete Delucchi
Compare to Frank Lloyd Wright's mile high building: http://tinyurl.com/milehigh
- Ryan Junee
Wow, that is awe-inspiring. I would be scared out of my mind to be on that thing when it is finished, let alone being the crane operator. Gives me the heeby geebies just thinking about it!
- Tony
Jenga?
- Franklin Naval
messed up society? ... compensating? ...lol i hope you two are not from that country i think you come from.
- Chris Hofmann
It really makes you wonder how much of the space in that building is just elevators...
- Gabe
Do they have to compensate for the rotation of the Earth? Do they have to reinforce the west side?
- tim
@Robert that's exactly what it reminded me of
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Dubai must be an interesting place visually. All sorts of weird buildings there.
- Yolanda
2,684 ft (818m) in height! wow, that's over 1/2 a mile high!
- Susan Beebe
The same architect was going to build a 2400-foot casino resort here in Vegas before the FAA intervened and got it canceled. Something about it being in the way of planes.
- Chris Reed
that's crazy
- andy brudtkuhl
no way in hell am I going to the top of that thing. imagine being an iron worker on the very top? well I guess it's like China, labor is replaceable
- clarke thomas
There are many over-the-top examples of Dubai architecture, but the one that really knocks my socks off is the project to build an entirely new city with extreme "green" ambition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... I'm frequently amazed by the sheer quantity of projects like this happening in UAE.
- Jason Wehmhoener
What's Barad-dûr doing in the middle of Dubai??
- Will DeLuca
Wow, that's crazy!
- Sarah Perez
reminds me of LOTR
- anna sauce
it'll be great when it's finished. Dubai, that is... Dubai will be great when it's finished...
- Andrew Terry
Reminded me of Gustav Doré's Tower Of Babel illustration: http://is.gd/UjL Amazing, truly.
- Madsimian
Ha! Commented before expanding comments to see all the "Tower of Babel" exclamations. It sure is a natural point of reference...
- Madsimian
Dubai: where Erector sets join together for REALLY big projects.
- Kevin C. Tofel
Very impressive piece of engineering and architecture!
- Jeff P. Henderson
Why? I don't understand why. It's like they are trying to prove something. But how many workers died building this vanity project?
- Liz
Liz it's not the Middle Ages. I am sure the building is not resting on the bones of the poor exploited workers.
- John Samuelson
this place looks like after a war! They might have the money, but haven't they heard about green? Let's see what happens when they will run out of oil. Anyway, that's a great building, but it doesn't fit the landscape.
- Dan V
World's largest building = tourist attraction.

I'm not even going to lie: The sticky notes app on iGoogle is where I store blog post ideas (not sure if they're great, haha).

I build them up whilst listening to my iPod on the train to work in the morning. That's my most inspirational time, then I get into work, start kicking a football around the office and have a coffee and it's gone!

I forget most of them. The rest are on post-its or envelopes on my desk or in blog drafts that I never finished.

I do the same as Mark -- and add details as they come to me

Shey, I actually just user twitter /ff for linkfarming or directly send url to via email to my pvt google groups. All my Blog's are configured to send out a copy of my postiny to this group too. So I have a redunant copy of my blog in forum form too.
- Peter Dawson
I use Scrybe, and the Scrybe thoughtpad is pretty good for that. I don't really have to store my ideas as I typically want to make a great blog post before somebody else comes up with the same idea, and it's quite often that somebody does come up with the same idea, but at least people at not sick of the topic when a few bloggers have talked about it.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Blog titles plus a few notes are saved as drafts on my wordpress.com blog
- Hutch Carpenter
either a new wordpress draft, but almost usually just jotting some notes down on the yellow legal pad that's always on my desk
- Paul Stamatiou
In my head, which is why I'm only good for one a day (at best). I'm kidding. Microsoft OneNote is killer for saving these, although I'm using the new Evernote beta more and more.

If it's just a thought, Evernote. If it's a site, Diigo, tagged as "blog idea"

Honestly. Post-It notes.
- AJ Kohn
Gmail. I email the post idea to myself and put a special (made up) word and keyword(s) in the subject line so I can search them all easily. If I edit them, I reply to myself so all versions are available. I could do all of this in Wordpress but Gmail is in front of me or in my pocket all day.
