3rings - Light Up Your Life with BOOX LED by Rexite
BOOX, the modular storage system originally designed in 2006 by Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari, is being transformed by LEDs. The new BOOX LED integrates lighting in a unique way—inside the aluminum bars that compose the shelving’s frame. What’s interesting about this design is that it enables each single shelf to be illuminated. The capability to light up gives BOOX LED new opportunities for showing off whatever you keep inside the system. ...

Inhabitat - Aquatic Dead Zones Produce Greenhouse Gas 300X More Potent Than CO2
We’ve heard a lot lately about the relationship between global warming and the ocean. An article in Thursday’s Journal of Science describes how aquatic dead zones — or hipoxic waters — create trouble for more than the organisms that live in the waters. In addition to their low levels of oxygen killing off marine life, they can also increase global warming. University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science oceanographer Dr. Lou Codispoti explains in his article how ...

Kapor Klein House model, Marcy Wong Donn Logan Architects
There is a fight going on in Berkeley, over the construction of a house for Mitch Kapor, the founder of Lotus and creator of Lotus 123, the program that made personal computers useful. Neighbours, architects and others call it "absurd" that the house should be called green, saying its 10,000 square feet is far too big. One neighbour complains that "green building begins with using 'just enough' and preserving what already exists. Clearly the idea of 'just enough' is not part of the design concept."

Design*Sponge - in the kitchen with: dwellstudio’s pistou soup
When Christiane Lemieux of DwellStudio submitted this recipe in October, we thought it was a great idea for winter. Those of you who aren’t still watching the snow fall can take advantage of it as well. You can use whichever vegetables are in season and most flavorful, even if the recipe takes advantage of summer’s finest. Hearty soups are a great way to use up any surplus vegetables you have around and though I had every intention of pureeing the leftovers and freezing it, my husband ate it all so there were none! Vegetarians/vegans can substitute the chicken stock with a non-meat based alternative and just use toasted crostini rubbed with garlic, instead of parmesan. -...

I, for one, love the bright pink apron that I wear on busy baking days, but can’t recall ever seeing anyone else (outside the movies) wearing an apron while they bustle around the kitchen.
