Once again Smithsonian Channel is aiming to do what has never been done before - we're filming the entire United States - from sea to shining sea- from the air and entirely in HD. Over the next 12 months our film crew will be flying over every single state in the USA telling America's story from a bird's-eye view. We're shooting the natural volcanoes, mountains and shorelines, as well as the historic locations across the country.

But we've got cheetah, flamingo and pandacams and that's gotta count for something.

I'm talking about my list of the top 10 design blogs and websites.  And since we're on the topic of design, I included a special video clip from  Smithsonian Channel. Take a look at our exclusive interview with Isaac Mizrahi, as we asked him "What is good design?"
