A Pictorial Week in Review
Words can be quite powerful, but images are pretty cool, too. Here’s a few favorites from the week:
1. Ode Magazine posted the winning image from the BID Challenge in April. “BID is a Netherlands-based organization that runs a business plan competition for entrepreneurs in developing countries.” The full article (which tells the story of this year’s winner — Juan Carlos Cabellos from Huanchaco, Peru — can be found at http://www.odemagazine.com/doc/56/a-pretty-picture/.
2. Treehugger showed us what to expect with CFL bulbs, version 2.0. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/08/cfl-bulb-looks-incandescent.php.
3. Inhabitat brought us a hotel in England constructed entirely from prefabricated shipping containers. http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/08/22/travelodge-shipping-container-hotel/.
4. For a new style in couch(ish), Sierra Club’s The Green Life posted some “funereal furniture ideal for zombie-esque zone-outs during Halloween movie marathons.”
5. Plenty Magazine provided some eco-friendly cufflink ideas: “one set is made from antique Native American nickels . . . and the other is made from fallen rack antler horns.”
