Floating

made by universearchitecture

The shown object here can be seen as the captured form used by Stanley Kubrick in the 1968 movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’.
The monolith, as Stanley Kubrick and science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke suggest, must have been made by other powers than those responsable for the usually circular planetary bodies and other more liberal forms, such as organisms. The rectangle as a metaphor for the existence of intelligent life.

Polystyrene Chair

wip_chair_1.jpg

The Wip Chair, by Khodi Feiz, is a chair cut from a single piece of polystyrene foam. Basically the design was modeled in the computer, and something like a giant hot wire cutter carved out the form. The chair was mass produced this past summer and used in an installation at the Dutch embassy in Berlin in June 2006, called NL-Lounge.

Low-Cost Ocean Homes

article from popularmechanics

Hilbertz hopes to start growing an island there before the end of the year. "We’ll establish our presence there and stake a claim, and see what happens. If anyone challenges us, we have lawyers ready to argue our case. We’ve had so many legal opinions that we decided just to go ahead and see what happens," he says.

TerraPass: Make up for your pollution

[Ah, the post-lunch rush. You know… if you’re bored you can always check out our about page. It’s becoming self-aware. Just a thought.]

Feel like you’re at least a lil bit aware of the impact your lifestyle is having on the environment? Think that you try to lead a somewhat ‘green’ life? Well, put your money where your mouth is and take the TerraPass test to see what your household emissions are. I for one was surprised, and saddened, by my ‘score’…

Find out your score here

Feeling a lil guilty now? [I know I am…]. If you have some money to burn you could purchase a TerraPass, which would fund clean energy systems to ‘balance out’ the emissions from your home. After taking the ‘test’ and finding out your emissions, TerraPass will offer you a payment relative to your individual ‘score’. You can also do it for your car, and for flights.

They’ve got an interesting blog too, check it out.
