part of the library - notice the glowing blue lights on the glass panel?
Jay Walker, founder of Priceline.com; is one very successful dotcom entrepeneur. he built and curated this library based on one simple thought - the human imagination. original artifacts dating centuries ago is part of his collection. from typewriters to bibles to a real satellite (the Sputnik), Jay has been collecting these "items" for more than 20 years ago. just like me, i have been collecting "junk" like 10 years ago (although nothing close to what he have) and have no where to put them. i was stuck, but not Jay. Mr. Walker decided to built a building just for his "treasures". and that is how the Library was created. Human Imagination is a terminology very often used by many, having to think back and WONDER, how on earth did they think about that? this library can seriously answer any question that you might have when you were a kid. the highlight of this library would be the glass panels around the library which lights up more writings and manuscripts that you can ever imagine.
i just wanna be at the doorstep!
according to Jay, only a handful of guests are allowed in, and it has to be selected. its not a public library. this genius work has been hiding since it was built and was only revealed to the public recently at a talkshow - Ted.com. the video will be available here, at the end of this alright. so, who wants to have a library like this?

super cool; looks like ancient Neolitic drawings
heres the video of the talk show Ted.com; where Jay Walker revealed his most intimate secret.
