I finally found a really good iphone case by Prink Technologies, that is well designed, sleek, made from real wood, and doesn’t make my iphone bulge out of my pockets. It’s so sleek that it still docks on my Bose speaker without having to remove it. Prink donates proceeds from every wood product it sells to a forest restoration organization as part of Prink’s Pay it Forward program. They will even replace any one piece of your phone case, free of charge with proof of purchase.

Prink Technologies was founded in a small garage in Oregon, where the surrounding landscape and scenery were the inspiration and backdrop for the company’s beginnings. Now, Prink products can be found coast to coast. To pay homage to its roots, Prink donates proceeds from every wood product it sells to a forest restoration organization as part of Prink’s Pay it Forward program. Each contribution helps to replant our forests and fund other national service organizations.

PrinkTech also offers a Piece of Mind Guarantee - they will replace any one piece of your phone case, free of charge with proof of purchase. Buy yours from their website: http://www.prinktech.com/ or from Digital Fix located in Brooklyn and SF.

I had the wonderful opportunity to watch and take photos of JR pasting his Lakota Portrait on the NYC Highline yesterday. I’ve been a huge fan of his work since I discovered him after he won the Ted Prize last year. One of the lines that stood out to me from his Ted talk is that “Art can change the world” and he’s definitely changing the world through his art. According to his website, he owns the biggest art gallery in the world and exhibits freely in the streets of the world. Check out http://jr-art.net, http://insideoutproject.net, and this 5 minute [video] about JR and his work. I also recommend watching his TED Prize talk from last year [here]. Marc, JR’s studio manager, was gracious enough to chat with me for a few minutes and allow me to take a few photos of him holding up the portrait. The portrait is up on the Upper Highline off 30 street until it gets weathered away.

One day, quadriplegic Hilary Lister and her friends smashed up and cannibalised a wheel chair, some metal pipes and a few electric circuit boards. The result was a unique technical invention that led her to conquer the oceans of the world and set her spirit free…

A time-lapse of Planet Earth, created from images produced by the geostationary Electro-L Weather Satellite. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, and end on May 20th, 2011. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, each image is 121 megapixels, and the resolution is 1 kilometer per pixel. They are taken every half hour, and have been interpolated (smoothed) to create this video. The images are taken in four different wavelengths of light, three visible, and one infrared. The infrared light appears orange in these images, and shows vegetation.
