Where's my home? No idea but this world feels like a cool place to call home.
Unfocused postings on whatever catches my attention, makes me think or demands that I point and shoot.
What have these two images got in common?
As PACT continues to do cool things around cause and underwear, they have commissioned David Adjaye, the architect of the building on the left, to design underwear for their Earth Week initiative. I love PACT's approach to cause. See more here http://bit.ly/bKvq3
I love the Converse African canvas initiative tied to Project Red.
Makes the choice of shoe simple - help others or don't help with your next purchase. I also really like the subtle design signals that tie to Red.

There's some noise on the web about the laser guided mosquito killer that was showed at TED last week.
I find the story behind its invention, by Intellectual Ventures Lab, even more compelling.
Nathan Myhrvold, formerly of Microsoft, created the mosquito killer from parts he bought on Ebay. He used parts from printers, digital cameras and projectors to create a new device that could eventually change the course of Malaria forever.
Even with such basic ingredients, the device can precisely identify a female mosquito from other mosquitoes or other insects. It will only kill the females as they are the ones that bite. Why save the males? Simply because there's no point wasting energy on them. It can kill 50 to 100 mosquitoes a second.
There's that Gutter Technology at play again.
