An interactive crossing designed for roads that would respond to people’s changing movements throughout the day has been prototyped in South London. Starling Crossing has been created by urban design consultancy Umbrellium, and works by lining roads with a material embedded with LED light technology. The project was commissioned by car insurance company Direct Line.This is accompanied by two cameras at either end of a crossing area, which are “not for surveillance” and do not store images, says Usman Haque, founding partner at Umbrellium, but instead are “effectively the equivalent of motion sensors”. Crossings appear and disappear As people approach a road, the footage from the cameras triggers the LED lights, and a crossing appears and lights up on the ground. read more

Today is Tasha Tudor's Birthday! One hardly knows where to begin in terms of describing such a multi-faceted woman of so many trades and talents, and what to focus on here today. But she is probably most well-known for her children's books and illustrations, although it was her unique lifestyle and the "old ways" of doing things that became a fascination (as well as an inspiration), to many of her fans. Myself included! Tasha found inspiration within her own family and surroundings; first in a New Hampshire farmhouse where her children were raised, and later, nestled in the woods of...

Michael C. McMillen is a mixed-media artist based in Santa Monica, California, whose installations and sculptures made out of recyclable materials, or as he calls them "the cast-offs of our material society," play around the themes of time, change, and illusion as a means to create what he refers to as "visual spiritual poetry." It's very interesting work with a magic of its own. The two friends I've brought with me to view his work have referred to his pieces as post-apocalyptic. I see it more as a beautiful display of decay. They had a similar eerie effect on me as when I visited a ghost town of the Gold Rush era, here in California, for the first time. Like a glimpse at the ancient ruins of the future. To fully appreciate his installations you really must experience them. You can view his work in person at an upcoming exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California from April 16, 2011 to August 14, 2011, entitled Train of Thought.

Pinterest activity seemed to slow down there for a little while, but with the approaching holiday season, I predict that the pins will be flying fast and furious.
