I am deeply disturbed by the Herald Sun opinion piece written by Margaret Court in today’s paper (If you haven’t yet read it here’s a link) http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/priority-is-to-protect-marriage/story-e6frfhqf-1226252853390
It disturbs me for a number of reasons. Firstly…
the other night my bike got stolen while i was having a ‘sleep over’ at a friends house in fitzroy! I was SO SAD! but then the next morning, the mystery man had returned my bike looking like THIS!!!!! a fried egg sticky taped to the seat! raw steak tied to the peddles and spray painted yellow!!!!! amazing!!! as a naughty fairy myself, they could not have found a more appreciative victim for their mischief magic!
i cut off the rotting bits and continue to ride my bike decorated by the anon naughty pixie! YAY! makes me feel like every day is BURNING MAN riding this bike around Melbourne. and the civilians love it too :)
There is no such thing as talent, just a passion & years of hard work.
100,000 toothpicks later… Simply Amazing!
My friend took this and it made me laugh!
“The children, aged four to nine, are shameless posing while enjoying their cigarette or cigarillo. So why kids? By portraying adults as children all the attention went to the smoking. An adult would draw to much attention to the portrayed person. Thus these portraits evoke question such as: is the smoking ban the right way to get rid of an absurd addiction and are smokers treated like little kids who can’t make the difference between good and bad? While Frieke doesn’t give answers, the portraits are strong enough to start your thinking process!”
The Low Line: A plan for a new park banks on subterranean photosynthesis, a neat project from PopTech staffer Dan Barasch.
From The New York Times:
Ever since it opened in 2009, the High Line has drawn out-of-town visitors who hope to replicate its success. Observers of the elevated park on the West Side of Manhattan have come from nearby municipalities like Jersey City and Philadelphia and places as far away as Hong Kong.
Lately, those observers have been coming from across town, with plans for another attention-grabbing green space on a former transit site. But this one comes with a twist — the proposed park would be underground, in a dank former trolley terminal under Delancey Street that is controlled by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Though its promoters call it the “Delancey Underground,” another nickname has already been coined: the Low Line.
From CNN:
Ramsey and Barasch’s romantic vision includes a polished, undulating ceiling plane from which the “remote skylights” — developed by Ramsay to filter out harmful ultraviolet and infrared light frequencies — will flood the park with sunrays all year-round, night and day.
According to Ramsey, the technology is “like a cross between a telescope and an endoscope” — capturing light from the sun and then transporting it through fiber-optic cables onto a relatively small focal point.
