With everything from ugly suburban mansions to grocery stores to even the Empire State Building going the way of LEED certification, resulting in now more than a billion square feet confirmed as green as it gets, there’s been very little high-profile talk about any negatives arising from the program. Sure, there was the report that showed it’s sometimes hard for companies to keep at the standards once all the eco-warm fuzzies have worn off, and Frank Gehry made some stirs when he belittled the program while visiting here in Chicago (before reversing himself and LEED’ing the Inland Steel Building), but those have seem largely like blips drowned out by all the rah rah rah! That might all be starting to change however, as described in this great piece by Fast Company‘s Alec Appelbaum, who explains the growing backlash against the supposed Earth-saving certification. He cites a number of examples wherein LEED-backed buildings actually consumed more energy (much more at times) than traditionally-constructed buildings, as well as sharing that builders are now speaking out, saying that governments that require LEED-certified building codes “are producing dud buildings and that taxpayers are footing the bill through subsidies.” What’s more, there’s already a class action suit against the US’ Green Building Council, “claiming that LEED defrauds consumers and befouls interstate commerce while acting as a monopoly.” In defense, the organization says it’s still working on ironing out all the problems along the way, explaining that growing pains are understandable. For further reading, Forbes also has this great recap on the anti-LEED movement.

If there’s one thing that never hurts to raise a piece of art’s perceived social value, it’s controversy. Recently in the museum business, and the art world in general, there hasn’t been much more controversial or as high-profile as the ongoing debacle over the National Portrait Gallery‘s decision to remove the piece A Fire in My Belly by artist David Wojnarowicz back in early December, following some fabricated beating of the drums and calls for outrage by a select few political and religious groups. The move seemingly everyone upset, but it also pushed the artists’ piece front and center, undoubtably now seen by perhaps hundreds of thousands more people who would have otherwise never had known it even existed. That seems like it will continue to be the case with the latest news this week that the MoMA has acquired the piece and will immediately begin displaying it as part of a new exhibition (this in addition to the museum’s announcement yesterday that it’s bringing Juxtapoz to the big screen). So like with muralist Blu and the LAMOCA on the other side of the country, the bad possibly also wound up resulting in some good for the artist himself. Here’s the official statement:

The Museum of Modern Art has acquired a complete version of A Fire in My Belly (1986–87) by David Wojnarowicz — both its original 13-minute version and a 7- minute excerpt made by the artist — announced MoMA Director Glenn D. Lowry today. MoMA is the first institution to acquire the video, and it goes on view today in the Museum’s exhibition Contemporary Art from the Collection, a focused examination of artistic practice since the late 1960s that considers how current events from the last 40 years have shaped artists’ work.

Get more out of your gadgets with these tech add-ons

If there’s any theme to the newsworthy items found at CES this year, it’s the concept of the add-on gadget. From tweeting from a camera to printing mobile pictures and avoiding speeding tickets with phones, here are a few new things you can do when devices start talking to each other.

Polaroid Grey Label Printer

The lesser-hyped product from Polaroid’s new Gaga designed line, the GL10Grey Label printer uses a new Zink (zero ink) printing technology to print quality 3″x4″ shots sent to the device via Bluetooth from a Blackberry or Android app. It gives the option of printing border-less or with an old-school white frame, and offers a variety of special effects. With its chic leather carrying case, it makes a great accessory for taking out to a party. Due out this May, the printer will run $150.

Olympus PP1 Penpal

To trick out their new E-PL2 micro four-thirds camera, Olympus’ PP1 Penpal fits into the flash hotshoe. When in place, a “share” option appears on the playback screen to transfer that picture to Blackberry or Android devices via Bluetooth. The pic lands in your photo library so it can be easily posted to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr or anywhere else you share photos from your phone. It’s available from Olympus retailers now for $80.

Surc Univeral Remote iPhone Case

Not the first but potentially the most powerful, this iPhone case and accompanying software turns phones into universal remotes. You can easily add devices and rooms to be able to use it anywhere in your home, or launch a “Surc attack” in your favorite bar and change the TV station so that you never miss an episode of Real Housewives. It comes out this spring and will retail for $70 from Surc.

Cobra iRadar

With Cobra iRadar a simple radar detector becomes more powerful by pairing with your iPhone. The app tracks driving information, avoids red light cameras and notes speed traps. It’s available from
several retailers now for $130.

Parrot Astroid

The Parrot Astroid is a single-plug in-dash receiver with a simple interface and a high-res color screen featuring web apps, voice recognition, music playback and hands-free telephony—all by communicating with your mobile phone over Bluetooth.
