An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.
See how they’re made here. From Visual News
Keeping this in mind for the post-apocalypse. Good idea!

Somehow I alway wind up here instead.

Dancing In New York City.
I used to dance all the time when I was in high school.
It was our opportunity to show our stuff and prove our worth back then.
It’s really nerdy when I think back.
Nontheless, me, my brother, and my friend decided to be nerds again.

Yesterday My Brother Made Me An Amoxicillin Chaser
It was delightful.
See, I have an upper respiratory infection. So Joey made a chaser like this:
875mg Crushed Amoxicillin
Sprite
Cranberry Juice
Orange Juice
No alcohol, so technically not a real chaser. But it was surprisingly easy to down it because the amoxicillin all foamed up on top & then it was chased down with everything else.
Yay for drink mixer Joey.

Magic Hour
It’s that brief moment when the waning daylight causes everything to take on a holy, hazy glow. It took Terrence Malick about a year to shoot his 1978 movie Days of Heaven because he insisted on filming only during this time of day, but the results perfectly capture and distend that dizzy, overripe feeling of right before something very good ends.

Yeah! Typographic installation made from drinking straws
Bangkok design studio FarmGroup has created this hanging installation from used plastic straws. Packed tightly together, hundreds of these reclaimed straws form the building blocks for larger shapes and words. This installation, for the Siam Center, intends to emphasize the idea that nearly anything can be reused.
In a way, I live for installations.
