31 March 2010

i was reading this design blog, and saw this image of the aquapod, a ocean-bound fish farm that floats along and grows seafood for us to nom.

part of the idea here is to set these guys on their mission in a ocean current, and tend them along the way until they finally reach a destination like miami full of fully grown fish. what if you were swimmin along and stumbled upon a aquapod full of giant isopods. shudder.

Faceoff at the MoMA

have you heard about that lady at the MoMA who sits in a chair all day facing a table and an empty chair?

her name is marina abramovic and she is a performance artist whose current show is called "The Artist is Present." you might remember that sex and the city episode with the artist who starved herself... where carrie first met alexandr petrovsky? that was based on abramovic.

anyway. a funny thing happened the other day when another performance artist from brooklyn dressed up just like marina and got first in line and sat in the chair opposite her all day. read her interview. she says describes the experience, and says when the exhibit finally closed for the night, she finally got a smile from the artist.

thanks a lot, president obama. now that you've pushed healthcare through, the apocalypse is underway. just like the republicans said would happen. and it's starting in poor little rhode island.

"We have some historic flooding going on in places we've never had flooding before," said Cranston, Rhode Island, police Lt. Stephen Antonucci. "We have numerous streets that are closed, and they're telling us the worst is still yet to come."

All eyes were on the Pawtuxet River, which runs through Cranston. The river stood at 20.64 feet as of about 7 a.m. ET -- nearly 12 feet above flood stage of 9 feet. It is forecast to crest at 20.7 feet Wednesday morning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (via)
