(VIDEO) A year ago we wrote about Gary Chang's Domestic Transformer, an incredible 344 square foot apartment that could change into any of 24 different designs. We showed pictures and plans, but more than any house I have seen, this one needs a movie. Planet Green visited it for the World's Greenest Homes, and it is truly four minutes of wow.

The wall units, which are suspended from steel tracks bolted into the ceiling, seem to float an inch above the reflective black granite floor. A simplified drawing of the apartment from AFP. Chang also explains why this kind of design is so important in a world of diminishing resources, particularly when one of those resources is space: Plans of the uniit:
The Last Lecture: A Positive Psychology Case Study My colleague Ben Dean and I recently conducted an Internet survey of 1464 adults interested in positive psychology that asked what they would most like to know about this new field. A large number wanted compelling case examples of actual people who lived life well, who embodied the strengths of character that we have been studying with quantitative methods. The world's greatest teachers, from Socrates and Jesus to the present, have always used parables to instruct and inspire others, and in the disciplines of business and law, the detailed examination of particular cases is the preferred method of teaching. Psychologists have also relied on cases, but these have been psychiatric histories that centered on people's problems. Here is another exception, a marvelous example of what it means to live well: Carnegie Mellon Computer Science Professor Randy Pausch, whose "last lecture" is all over the Internet (e.g.. www.randypausch.com ). I watched his last lecture wearing many hats.
10 Surreal Christopher Walken Dance Scenes (VIDEOS) Submit ShareEmail Email Photo via blog.koldcast.tv To many, Christopher Walken is best known as an unnervingly intense, googly-eyed Hollywood villain with an unmistakable voice that he occasionally uses to demand “more cowbell.” For those only acquainted with his acting roles, Walken’s twinkle-toed performance in the video for Fatboy Slim‘s “Weapon of Choice” — during which Walken twirls and leaps and sashays through an empty hotel — came as a bit of a shock. What plenty of people don’t realize, though, is that Walken is a classically trained dancer who has strutted his stuff in more than two dozen films and videos. Random unrelated factoid: Walken was also a lion tamer during his teen years. Despite his classical training and undeniably smooth moves, there’s always something hallucinogenic about Walken’s dance performances. Judge for yourself: here are some of the best/creepiest moments of Walken busting a move. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Leave a Reply
