BusStopSymbiosis
The brilliantly conceptual yet functional creation by LIKEarchitects’, titled BusStopSymbiosis, is part of an ongoing challenge in Porto, Portugal, to improve the daily life of local residents.

I’m enjoying the writing on the recently launched The Epi-Cure blog, which discusses the ‘latest scientific studies on health and nutrition’, and features interviews with ‘expert scientists, dieticians, and nutritionists’. The site’s founder and editor, Michelle Grey, also runs tasty, healthy recipes from New York chef Benjamin Towill, including today’s installment: Stuffed Zucchini Flowers [above]. Hmmm hmm. Read more
You may have already heard composer Nico Muhly this year on All Is Well, Samamidon’s lovely reimaginings of immigrant folk songs. (If you haven’t, you should). Mothertongue, Muhly’s second album and first for Brassland (run by members of the National), is divided into three acts. Read more
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction which had made its way into the world of fashion. These chrome metal steampunk goggles are interchangeable lenses with anti-fog, shatterproof UV-400, and come with fully functional alligator clips, claw spikes on the top, and a spike in one lens.
