no more amnesia...

Here is a mantra for the day... maybe i should phrase it as a question... Why is it that we never have enough? Work our asses off on a daily basis to achieve / get something that we think we deserve. the 9 to 5 drains us so bad that we are left with only a few precious hours before we pass out. we usually fill those hours with sitting on the couch b/c that is all we have energy for. in the end, is it all for the promotion, the raise, the success? Myself, I would rather be roaming a forest, wandering through and old city or puttering on some artwork. I don't mean it to sound like i am a slacker, but rather have new priorities that are much clearer these days. i know what makes me happy.

Cellular jewels...

What can 3d printing not do??  I am not sure if anyone has ever put more thought into jewelry than these folks over at  Nervous System


In general, i cannot decide if i am just awestruck or jealous that i do not have a 3d printer myself.  there are so many mediums i would like to try, artwork i wish i could do, but (because of reasons like materials, machinery or time) seem so intangible to me.  


goal of the day...to stop doing that.

the original mixer...

this just looks like hours of fun... and knowing me, after those few hours, it probably never being touched again. none the less, for any persistant music maker, hours and hopefully continuous days of fun!

a new solution...

...to a problem i have been perplexed with for some time. their website doesn't say much about how it all works, but that fact that this even works at all is extremely exciting. it is time to move away from that old technology of forcing dusty air around our homes.

the system is called Artica. it is a natural cooling, venting and heat recovery system that uses 10% of the energy our hvac systems use. Ayayayayayay!

new techMology...

Bendable concrete...wow. why didn't i think of this? really though, the amount of problems "cured" (i crack my shit up!) will be amazing. 

concrete is one of the most useful building materials for modern day architecture, but it's Achilles heal is it's inability to withstand shear forces or tension. it crumbles when pulled or bent....until now. thank goodness for univ. of michiganders and their new technology devised to allow concrete to HEAL its cracks after it is bent. this shit is truly magical -

By contrast, the new concrete composite can bend into a U-shape without breaking. When strained, the material forms hairline cracks, which auto-seal after a few days of light rain.

Dry material exposed by the cracks reacts with rainwater and carbon dioxide in the air to form "scars" of calcium carbonate, a strong compound found naturally in seashells, said study co-author Victor Li of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

i mean...really?  i love science.  now buildings can withstand earthquakes better, bridges can move easier without expansion joints....ahhh yes.
