Unifying ceiling treatment. Open floor plans are great rooms with unlimited potential.

Gorgeous. Reminds me of Paris Market in Savannah, Georgia.

Dreams in Blue
Each year these blossoming blue fields attract thousands of tourists. Hitachi Park is located in the Ibaraki Prefecture on Honsyu in Japan. Its a beautiful spectacle during the flowering of the nemophila. Nemophilas are annual flowers. The word is a combination of the Greek words “nemos” (small forest) and “phileo” (love). The Japanese word “hitachi” translates to dawn. Taken together: “small forest love in dawn.” A blue heaven on Earth.
This is far more beautiful than the recent Bing Desktop rendering. Does everything real need to morph into surreal for people to notice?

”Ridiculous for Apple to get developer kudos when they blatantly steal end user data via iTunes, iPhoto, iBooks, Pages, iCloud and Apple Care Support. Still amazed producers haven’t sued for royalties due from iTunes pilferage. Users ‘gift’ music to Apple via iTunes, pay for iTunes Match, store music in iCloud but have to reload from original CD or buy it back from Apple. Developers starving to be known or raised from Apple’s seed?

”Anyone could do that. It’s not Pisa, Italy or some important monument. Maybe the lizards, but everything else is just the backyard.

Are At-Home 3D-Clothing Printers the Future of Fashion?
by Jasmin Malik Chua, 03/11/13In 2050, procuring a new wardrobe will be as easy as hitting a button on a Xerox machine. At least, that’s what industrial designer Joshua Harris proposes with his three-dimensional garment printer, a concept device that would harness technologies such as rapid prototyping to bring clothing production to living rooms everywhere. Urbanization, he says, is rapidly changing the way we obtain the things we need to live. One major opportunity for change? The clothing industry.CLOTHING ON DEMAND
“We found the clothing industry to be an extremely wasteful and inefficient use of our resources,” Harris says on his website. “Clothing is shipped to several different places before being distributed to the consumer. Also, its lifespan is only a few years before being either disposed of or repurposed.”
Unwanted garments can be returned to the unit to be cleaned, broken down, and recycled, reducing waste.A consumer-oriented, at-home clothing printer, he adds, is the obvious solution. Such a contraption would eliminate the hassle, not to mention resources, of shipping. Unwanted garments can be returned to the unit to be cleaned, broken down, and recycled, reducing waste. In fact, Harris imagines his printer replacing whole closets, while dispensing with the need forwashing machines and dryers.
By allowing an online-only marketplace to supplant brick-and-mortar stores, the device could also open up new opportunities for apparel brands, according to Harris. “Fashion designers in the future [could] sell cartridges of material and then sell their designs digitally for the user to print,” he says.

”You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things.
