Monsieur Design - Mozilla Firefox China Design Kyna Leski NOTCOT.ORG Yanko Design Top 10 of Green Design Never one to let a trend pass without jumping on the bandwagon ourselves, here is Yanko Design’s top 10 list of the most impactful green designs of recent memory. Given so many criteria available to judge the concepts, ordering the list was tough, but in the end we shot from the hip as well as flipped a lot of coins. Without further ado, hit the jump for your daily dose of feeling good about Mother Earth. 10) Com-bat: A solar powered, robotic spy plane, the 6″ wide Com-bat uses hair trigger sensors to navigate the battlefield and relay data back to base. 9) Lotus Eco-Elise: Drawing on friendly materials like “eco wool”, sisal and hemp, the new Elise stands apart from its hybrid brethren by also incorporating solar roof panels to power its electrical systems. 8 ) River Plant Aquarium: Like a self contained bio-dome (less the Pauly Shore), the aquarium uses fish and water to provide nutrients to the plants, while the plants oxygenate the water for the fish.
The Cornell Note Method The Cornell Note Method has been covered pretty extensively across the internet, but as your “one stop shop” for maximizing (hacking) your college experience, we’re obligated to cover it. Since adopting Cornell notes this semester, processing and reviewing my lecture notes has become a systematized and painless task. Developped in the 1950’s by Walter Pauk, author of How to Study in College, the Cornell Note Method splits an ordinary piece of paper into 3 sections; notes, main points and summary. As you listen to the lecture, all notes are written under the notes section (duh…). If any main points can be identified right away you may write them in the main points section on the left hand side of the page. When processing your notes, additional main points are added to the main points section and finally a summary of the material covered is added to the bottom of the page. Give the Cornell Method a shot in the next lecture you attend and post your thoughts in the comment section below.
Blog « Sharona Design I’ve been playing with my camera these days and I’ve found selfportraits work really well as a therapy. You can see more on my flickr account, I’m still trying to “find” my style so you will see different things there :) He estado jugando con mi cámara estos días y he descubierto que es muy terapéutico el autorretrato. Pueden ver más en mi cuenta de flickr, aun estoy “buscando” mi estilo en fotografía así que encontrarán varias cosillas distintas :) Concepto y diseño corporativo por Caroline Grohs / Concept and corporate design by Caroline Grohs. Casi 3 años después… ¡estoy de vuelta en flickr! 1. En el ombligo de la semana, ya casi! It’s the hump of the week, almost there!
25 Things I Realized In College These are 25 things I never read from a book during college but were definitely worth the tuition. 1.You win some. You lose some. The lowest moments might end up being the best stories. 2. When you go big, then there’s no other option but to go home. 3. Whether you focus on research or work on a manuscript, art installation, or YouTube channel, what you do in or outside of the classroom matters a lot. 4. Also remember to let yourself off the hook. 5. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of because you are a precious angel from the heavens and better than some yahoo who mooches off of other people’s generosity. 6. As my friend puts it, “Slow your roll about the trivial things, collective world.” 7. If you are actually tired then go home, put on your bedtime romper, brush your teeth and sleep. 8. Some of them weren’t even that awful — just an overall “meh.” 9. 10. That’s right, I just quoted Lilo & Stitch. 11. 12. 13. 14. Not everyone is Sasha Fierce. 15. 16. 17. For the time being. 18.
