I am preparing to write about the wonderful 'Korea Now' show I saw in Paris last year, and came across this video, which shows selections from the exhibit. How convenient! #korea   #koreanowexhibition   #muséelesartsdécoratifs   #design

While some people complain about food fads like gluten-free products, I am deeply grateful - I developed an unexpected fructan intolerance after a bad reaction to NSAIDs, and now I can benefit from this fad!

One of my friends asked me questions about this, to see if my experience could help his daughter, who was suffering from digestive troubles. This is the note I wrote about my understanding, based on my experiences and those of my friends, about what might be going on.

You never know when "upcycling" something will result in a museum-grade collectible artifact.

Printing silk maps to help lost people escape quietly is rather clever. Also, 'escape and evade' should be the name of my anti-social cosmetics line/tips/style.

'The Observer view on Pope Francis’s comments on a world at war' is a solid read, using facts and figures to point out that 'the West's' awareness of violence is up, but violence here is down. Our perception of the world being a scarier and more dangerous place has more to do with the news cycle than reality. That's a timely reminder.

This brief article notes that autonomous home and road-use (vehicular) robots have an extensive range of needs to help them navigate the environment. This could play out into conflicting ways: first off, homes and roads may be designed not for human comfort, but for the effective functioning of robots. Next, the same environment may be purposely designed to fool those robots should they become a threat, such as during times of war.

Either way, the needs of robots will be considered in both interior and other environmental design projects going forward.

The difference between the makeup of the intern populations between the two major US political parties is truly striking. I'm a Green, but want to note that this image from the Dems makes me smile. #usa

"In 2010, during a London Assembly planning and housing committee meeting, Jenny Jones, from the Green party, said: 'It has taken us eight years to negotiate with More London so that we politicians can do a TV interview outside our own building.'"

Can you imagine your free speech being constrained because of property privatization?? Can you imagine how much worse it is if you aren't actually even in the government, as this speaker above is?

{I've been to the park in this photo, and had assumed it was public... but now realize may have been chased away had I stayed "too long" or had not been wearing office clothes.}
