TAP Project 2008

The TAP Project is a remarkably simple way to raise money and awareness for the Worlds Water Crisis.

Beginning Sunday, March 16 through Saturday, March 22, restaurants will invite their customers to donate a minimum of $1 for the tap water they would normally get for free. For every dollar raised, one child will have clean drinking water for 40 days. Or 40 children for one day.

TED 2008

Now in its 24th year, TED begins on Wednesday and runs through Saturday. It is an elite event where leaders in technology, entertainment and design gather to cross-pollinate ideas and gain inspiration from presentations on the latest developments in sciences and the arts. As always TED is looking better than ever. Some of the BIG questions that will be asked this year are:

Who are we? What is our place in the universe? What is life? Is beauty truth? Will evil prevail? How can we change the world? How do we create? What’s out there? What will tomorrow bring? What stirs us? How dare we be optimistic? And the point?

Those are definitely some deep questions. TED, which has long been an elite gathering, opened up to a much wider audience after it began posting video of its talks on its website in 2006. According to conference organizers, 200 talks from past TED gatherings have been posted so far and have been viewed around 30 million times. So luckily for us we’ll be able to see this year’s conference once they upload the videos. In the meantime,… go check out some of past presentations here.

Bamboo Chute Phone

Check out Michael Laut’s Chute Phone >

One of the most eco-friendly materials on the market right now is bamboo which comes from shoots and is the fastest growing wood known. Laut used the sustainable plant to create the cell phone he called Chute, aptly named after shoots of the plant.

In the age of “Disposable Technology” where new mobile phone models come out every couple of months,.. it’s nice to see a model not made out of cheap plastic. I hope we’ll see more phones like the Chute in the future.

The Purple List

PSFK (one of my favorite sites for inspiration + ideas) just launched the Purple List >

The Purple List - a network of 100+ of our trusted contacts. The Purple List is a community of trends and innovation professionals who can help you with projects big and small, full time or ad-hoc. There’s no longer a need to find inspiration from the other side of the world by hiring a big local agency - simply contact a member of The Purple List.

I was lucky enough to be invited by Piers Fawkes to join the Purple List. It’s an honor to be a part of such an amazing group of really talented individuals from all over the globe. I’m still not 100% sure what to expect from the Purple List. I just know that with the 100+ individuals that have been invited,.. something BRILLIANT is bound to happen. I’ll keep you up to date on the progress.

Check out my Purple List profile here.

Detroit Electric

Detroit Electric was an American icon in the early part of the 1900s. The brand represented the most popular electric car in history and the longest running electric car company, which operated between 1907 and 1939 by the Anderson Electric Car Company in Detroit Michigan. At the time, the car was very popular, with customers like Thomas Edison, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, Henry Ford’s Wife Clara, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

One hundred years ago Detroit Electric had a car that could go 211 miles on a charge. With today’s technology we should be able to go far beyond that.

LOGAN REAL

Last time I wrote about Logan Real it was about his RED Collection. (click RED for memories) Back then I was blown away by the simplicity and detail of his custom design work.

So it should come as no surprise that one of his most recent creations is equally as stunning >

All wallets are one of a kind,.. and are done completely free hand. Check out the signature stained glass-mosaic design. The clean, detailed and multi-colored design represents elegance, diversity, open-mindedness, and the pursuit of growth as an individual.
