First ever… The United Nations “Creative Economy” Report 2008
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:42:18 PDT
It’s so darn ironic that just yesterday, a visual designer friend of mine was complaining about how the U.S. government prefers to give the international students in the hard sciences discipline a total of 26 months OPT (Optional Practical Training). This is an incredible 17 month extension from the typical 12 month work opportunity given to graduating international students in areas such as the humanities and the arts. That friend was just hired to work for Google. From the academic circl

The Future is Now: Plasma Laser Traffic Lights
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:00:26 PDT
A strange yet nearly practical idea from designer Hanyoung Lee, this virtual wall could spell the way forward for increased pedestrian safety in large urban centers. The virtual barrier is created using a plasma laser that, while not strong enough to damage humans or vehicles, provides a stunningly powerful visual effect that would seem to effectively communicate where vehicles should stop before crosswalks.

In Battered Secondary Mortgage Market, Some Encouraging Trends May Be Emerging
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:11:47 PDT

Yes, it is, in fact, a shress, and if you wear it, the only thing protecting your modesty will be a few strategically placed ruffles... It should be noted, too, that not all of the dress is sheer. No, some parts, including the belly and hip areas, offer no coverage at all. What do we think of fancy dresses that le
