Airport Navigator Needs the App Treatment

Airport Navigator Needs the App Treatment Travel + Leisure came out with a rather cool feature on their site this summer, but it's not nearly as cool as it could be. The feature is called the "Airport Navigator," and it has detailed lists of hotspots to check out inside airport terminals -- restaurants, spas, shopping, and things to do. Once you click through the listings, you can see ratings and leave comments. The LA Times pointed out that the site could definitely use maps of the terminals, because as it stands now, there are no visual clues about how to get around to these recommended spots. But really, duh -- the Airport Navigator should be an iPhone app.

Madonna-Snubbed Lindsay Lohan Still Big In Singapore

Madonna-Snubbed Lindsay Lohan Still Big In Singapore Y'know with Mercury being in retrograde, it makes sense that we've found new villains and new pieces of exquisite musicianship to hold dear to our hearts. It also makes sense that other imminent car-crashes have slowed their collision course. Naturally I refer to Lindsay Lohan. The "Rumors" hitmaker and sometime actress was tagged to sub in for Nicole Scherzinger to host three days of concerts at Singapore's Grand Prix. Gushes the star, last seen glassy-eyed with Taylor Momsen, "I like to drive. I like cars. I like fast cars." Slow down, LiLo. Slow. It. Down.

Singapore Takes to the Streets

Singapore Takes to the Streets Singapore is hosting the first-ever Formula 1 night race, and the 3.15-mile Grand Prix is a crash course in Singapore architecture. The Singapore River and the Singapore Flyer (like the London Eye on steroids) will serve as the blurry landscape zipping past the million-dollar racing machines. The whole Speed Raceresque shebang -- track, cars and landscape -- will take place under 2,000-watt floodlamps, making the whole “night” part of the race a metaphor at best. Play along for a chance to see the action in real time by racing virtual cars on the Singapore Racer site. The virtual winner will be gifted an all-expense-paid trip to the Singapore Grand Prix on September 28. In case you don’t win, book a package to make the race.

“Aesthetic Encounters” @ Singapore’s Art Seasons

“Aesthetic Encounters” @ Singapore’s Art Seasons China is far more than sketchy passport forgeries and a beautification effort akin to Detroit's the one time it got the Super Bowl. If the show "Aesthetic Encounters" is anything to judge by, it's a Hello Kitty-infused country constantly threatening devolution into a frenzy of media consumption as a response to pressures from a pushy and overbearing government (think Michelle Yeoh, but without the moxie).
