Project Runway Recap: Cut My Life Into Pieces. This Is My Best Resort Wear.

Posted on September 10, 2010 by | Leave a comment

That might be the first time I’ve started a Project Runway recap with a Papa Roach reference , but it won’t be the last. (Kidding.) Michael Kors harassed the designers into making resort wear in last night’s episode, and in a twist, Tim Gunn raised his arm like a sorcerer and made everyone pair up to sew each others’ garments.

Photo via FreeCat @ Flickr Sometimes a name change can be a good thing (just ask Walter Willison, Jennifer Anastassakis, or Caryn Johnson, who you know as Bruce Willis, Jennifer Aniston , and Whoopi Goldberg). But for these fish, a new name meant new popularity — and an increased danger of being overfished.

Fast Track Program for Green Tech Patents Gets Snubbed

Posted on August 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Steve Snodgrass Back in December we learned that green tech companies were receiving a fast track through the US patent process in order to boost innovation among start-ups and innovators. The first 3,000 applicants would sail through the process in just 12 months, as opposed to 40 months. We asked if zipping through the patent process would really move green tech forward. Turns out, it doesn’t. The fast track program is already off course for filling up the 3… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Taking minimalism to the limit, designer Burkhard Schäller has reduced the kitchen to bent wire with a place for everything. And if somebody gives you a weenie roaster you can give it right back, because if it isn’t in the design there is nowhere to put it. That puts an end to clutter…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image via The Gumdrop Bin It’s not news that chewing gum is the scourge of city sidewalks. Nor that it takes a lot of money and energy to clear gum off walkways, shortening the lifespan of the surfaces at the same time. Designer Anna Bullus read the statistics of the gum problem in London — that the government spends £150 million annually to clean up gum, over 30,000 pieces of which end up stuck to Oxford street alone each day — and she decided there must be a better way to deal with the problem. So, she headed to the laboratory and came up with a way to transform chewed gum into a us… Read the full story on TreeHugger
