Turn Your Walls into Your Personal Canvas
Have you heard about this great product that is out there? Just heard about IdeaPaint.....Sounds awesome!! It is a one coat paint that can turn any smooth surface into a dry erase surface. However here's the best part....It doesn't leave ghost marks or residue behind!! If you haven't already check it out!
Daylighting - "Mastering the Solar Universe"
In relation to what I will be talking about in my broadcast on February 22nd, 2011, I came across a wonderful article in my Architectural Products January-February 2011 Issue (Architectural Products) Titled "Mastering the Solar Universe". It was about daylighting and the growing need and use it has within the architectural and interior design fields. It talks about the ways it is literally shaping architecture as we know it. One of the coolest and newest items I came across was Custom mounted roller shades that are directly mounted and become one with the architecture. I encourage you to check out their website. Think about the possibilities that our cities could soon look like using this amazing technology! The shades are eco-friendly and LEED certified. For those of you who might not know what LEED is, building projects have to go through certain eco-friendly processes, and building practices in order to achieve certification. There are different levels of certification within LEED. For more information on LEED go to U.S. Green Building Council
Drop me a comment or an email if you have any questions!
By the way Thanks for the previous comments guys! I'm enjoying them!

164 Years in the Making
In honor of Thomas Edison's 164th Birthday today (Thomas Edison), I have come across an interesting post on how a Canadian Waste Plant is turning wasted soda and beer into a clean energy source. I know living in a college town most of you are probably thinking why would they waste beer and soda on clean energy, when people could drink it. However they apparently are using expired products that would have just been pulled off the shelf and gone down the drain anyways. Just think of the possibilities.....These products create ethanol a clean burning fuel. It's amazing where we have come from in the past 100 years. It all started with the light bulb! :)

New Ways to Visit The Gallery
So I don't know if most of you have already seen this yet, but as an avid "Googler" I happen to come across this new thing Google has come up with. It's called The Art Project. I noticed it when I popped up there home page this morning on my Chrome! It's actually pretty neat! What they have done is gone to quite a few major museums and begun compiling images. To give the user a virtual walk through of these museums. So far I have glanced through the Palace of Versailles. It's always been somewhere I've wanted to check out. Now I can do it from the comforts of my home while being snowed in! Perfect! It reminds me of Google Maps, just for art junkie's like me. Of course there aren't tons of images compiled yet, but I encourage you to check it out!
