"Don’t let anyone tell you what a story is, what it needs to include or what form it must take. As an experiment go out of your way and try to write a non-story, it will still be a story but it will have a chance to be a different story."

Next to the repurposed parking meter is a large, beautiful tree with at least seven different chandeliers hanging off of it, like antique design fruit.

Chandelier Tree is a redwood tree that was carved in 1930, so that cars could drive through it. Today, it’s a bizarre record of America’s fascination with the automobile attraction.

Everywhere there are signs in varying levels of decay. It’s almost as though there’s a distinct period of time before the city takes it back...Sign Entropy.

By Kymia Nawabi, I remember watching the television show, Work Of Art, avidly when Kymia won, and her drawings still never cease to amaze me. Being both technically brilliant and beautiful, each piece tells it’s own story and has a perfect level of surrealism and detail.

Printable A3-sized solar cells hit a new milestone in green energy
-
Imagine a future where solar panels speed off the presses, like newspaper. Australian scientists have brought us one step closer to that reality.
Researchers from the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC) have developed a printer that can print 10 meters of flexible solar cells a minute. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells, printed solar cells are made using organic semi-conducting polymers, which can be dissolved in a solvent and used like an ink, allowing solar cells to be printed.
Not only can the VICOSC machine print flexible A3 solar cells, the machine can print directly on to steel, opening up the possibility for solar cells to be embedded directly into building materials.
“Eventually we see these being laminated to windows that line skyscrapers,” said David Jones, a researcher at University of Melbourne who is involved with the work. “By printing directly to materials like steel, we’ll also be able to embed cells onto roofing materials.”
Printing 10 meters of solar cells in a minute means good things for solar.

I sincerely hope that I have something of interest or value to say tonight. I can’t tell anyone how to write a screenplay because the truth is that anything of value you might do comes from you. The way I work is not the way that you work, and the whole point of any creative act is that. What I have to offer is me, what you have to offer is you, and if you offer yourself with authenticity and generosity I will be moved. You are born into a body, into a family, into a situation, into a brain chemistry, into a gender, into a culture, into a time – as am I. At times I can feel the massive gravitation pulling of all these various things, pulling me in different directions, creating me.
I watch the reactions I have, that are as much my father’s as they are mine. I know they are inherited through genes and situation, just as they have been for my father. And I feel immense loneliness in this prison, coupled with a great shame because I can see that this prison has an open door. But I can’t get through it. How weak I am. How can I not be a saner person? A healthier person? A more generous person? My sneaker company tells me that I can, and that it’s up to me. It is a sign of great weakness if I don’t ‘Just Do It’.
And these are the priests of our culture, the therapists, the Dad with a firm hand but your best interests at heart. A sneaker company that runs sweatshops in Third World countries. This is our Dad. And I don’t know about you but I can be moved to tears by these commercials that these people put out. And I think it’s despicable.

“Ignorant Decay” by Jessica Lee (MDP, Art Center College of Design, Pasadena):
ignorant decay is a geiger counter device that detects radioactive signals, produces an algorithm and trades on the open stock market based on the stochastic behavior of radioactive decay.
