Think Different

Pictured here: Soft blimp bus, and soft cars.


Meet Mitchell Joachim: Founder of Terreform ONE, a non-profit philantropic design collaborative that integrates ecological principles in the urban environment. Armed with a PHD from MIT, Joachim is out to change the face of Architecture as we know it. Working to create a greener, smarter and softer Urban. Joachim has designed several new concepts for transportation, housing, even gym facilites. His version of the bus of the future, is a harness wielding blimp, resembling a jellyfish that scoops passengers up on their morning commute. As for housing, his plan is to have everyone living in treehouses, and not just the kind you planned on building as a kid. The Fab Tree Hab, would basically be grown inside trees that are molded into shape by scaffolds, allowing the inhabitants to grow vegetation on their home, literally. Just imagine: " Welcome to my tree." That sounds pretty bossy.

The Good

PRESSURE COOKER: Movie Trailer - The best bloopers are a click away

On the other side of the tracks, are the kids from Pressure Cooker. Watched this last night, and I laughed, cried, and applauded with the kids from Frankford High. Great movie, check it out.

The Real Gossip Girls and Queens of NY

Bravo aired its special preview of NY Prep the other day...here are my comments:

How old are these kids?

What team does PC play for, does he know?

PC says "Let's act like we don't give a shit about celebrities that'll make us even cooler."

Can we call social services on the parents?

I already feel bad for the token the middle class girl.

They did a pretty good job of recreating almost all the story lines from GG; the acting on GG is better.

Chances are i'll be watching this show, I'm sure the WTF moments will be well worth it.

And finally, we must prevent these kids from being our future... By wit not violence.

Cause I'm African

CNN will be premiering Black in America 2 in July, as a part of the documentary, they will be covering what it means to be African in america, a subject that the mainstream rarely discusses. Its interesting because there are several degrees of being African in the US, that a lot of people aren't aware of. From the the just landed immigrant with an incomprehensible accent, to the fully integrated kid who only hears his native tongue at home, each of these experiences come with a struggle. CNN has asked African's living in America to send in their IReports, the results? An insight on the different degrees of Africanism in the US.

BACK AGAIN

Your favorite girl scouts at No One's Done It Right are back. Join us this Sunday, March 15th at Sixth Ward for Give & Take the first of our monthly Clothing Swap events.

Rules of the Game: Donate your undesirable clothing and accessories, and you get the chance to rummage through everyone else's undesirables. Left over clothing will be donated to Housing Works, an organization which supports homeless and formally homeless New Yorkers living with HIV-Aids. Clothes will be sorted through upon deposit, to ensure that they are in the condition to be traded. As an added bonus, there will be fashion students on ground to help make adjustments/customize your new pieces.

Join us and get fly, lol.
