pTwo really nice videos have just gone up on a href=”http://www.innovationlab.eastman.com/Innovationlab/Insights/overview.htm”Eastman Innovation Lab’s site/a around sustainability. The first features Gary Waterworth Owen, founder of a href=”http://www.responseabilityalliance.com/”ResponseAbility Alliance/a and managing director of Lengthen Your Stride in a very poetic piece. The second features Dan Black Martin Blum from a href=”http://www.black-blum.com/homepage_0.html”Black + Blum/a discussing their new lunchbox product.

See CDs are still good for something.

A field in the heart of the English countryside has been transformed into a sea of shimmering light thanks to one designer and 600,000 unwanted CDs.

“CD Sea” is the latest project by Bruce Munro, an award-winning UK artist renowned for creating spectacular displays with light.

pTime has a way of exaggerating things in your memory, but I seem to remember that airlines once had pretty lax carry-on restrictions, and I could swear everyone showed up for flights loaded up like Jed Clampett’s truck on IThe Beverly Hillbillies./I/p

pThose days are long gone, of course, and current airline restrictions have put the kibosh on scale-breaking carry-on bags, but there is a loophole: There’s no limit placed on what you can carry on your physical person. /p

pTravelwear company A HREF=”http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/subindex_new_on_sale.shtml” Scottevest/A is allegedly about to exploit this loophole with their supposedly forthcoming A HREF=”http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/scottevests-carry-on-coat-houses-all-of-your-portable-electroni/” Carry-On Coat/A. (I say “allegedly” because I’m still not convinced this isn’t a gag.) /p

pAs you can see in the diagram, the insane amounts of pockets and compartments basically turns your body into a storage locker. Practical problems are manifold–while wearing the jacket you’re not going to sit through a flight, we’ll see if they let you stuff it in the overhead bin–and you sure ain’t gonna hug Granny Moses when you land, unless you want to fracture her pelvis with your iPad./p

pIt’s been a while since I’ve seen some good ol’ nuts-and-bolts ID, so I was happy to see Mike Jou’s A HREF=”http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=5943set_id=372621″ Ford Full Size Truck Bed Extender/A project. (A bed extender is a big-ass grill you can bolt onto the back of a pickup bed over the open tailgate, giving you some extra storage space.)/p

pDetroit-based designer A HREF=”http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_profile.asp?individual_id=5943″ Jou/A looked at the traditional tubular bed extender, which only has one position; he then designed a more easily-configurable system, made from what looks to be plastic rather than metal, and cut the parts count in half./p
