Natural Curves: Organic ‘Wood Wave’ Floating Home Design if (isPaidRef_jswsa() || isSearchRef_jswsa() || isRef_jswsa('weburbanist.com|webecoist.com|gajitz.com')) {write_jswsa('googbanner');} else if (isRef_jswsa('dornob.com|stumbleupon.com')) {} else if (document.referrer == "") {} else if (isOld_jswsa(jswsaDate,10)) {write_jswsa('googbanner');} else {} Outside and in, from the curved wood cladding to the swooping wooden ceilings, this undulating houseboat design by Robert Oshatz evokes the dynamic movement of the river water on which it floats. The series of intersecting and overlapping organic forms creates a sense of constant movement that is clearly inspired by surrounding waves but likewise reflects the never-still nature of the structure itself. More than just a clever aesthetic trick, however, this repeated form also serves a series of architectural functions, from defining interior volumes to letting in exterior natural light at both ends and along the roof line. The repetitive use of wood both inside and out also enhances the nautical theme of the home, giving residents the abstract sense that they are within a curved sea-faring wooden vessel as much as they are floating inside of a house. Wide-open views of the water are balanced by beautiful but privacy-protecting wood-shingled surfaces on the dock side of the structure.

Let me start off by saying, the following maps are just JOKES. I'm a very proud American. But I will be the first to admit that my views of the rest of the world are a bit, well to be honest I have never been to any other country before (well Canada once, but that doesn't count.)

Gemfields discovers 6,225-carat 'elephant' emerald in Zambia - Telegraph - 0 views
-
-
Gemfields said its experts "will continue to evaluate the gem before any final decision is taken in terms of its future". Ian Harebottle, chief executive of Gemfields, said: "This is a unique find. The Insofu displays wonderful colour and good translucency. Its sheer size, rich colour and fine protective biotite shell make it difficult to see deep into the gem. However, all indications suggest that the core of the emerald is competent and that it should yield a number of cut gems of significant size." The largest uncut emerald believed to have been found was in Carnaiba, Brazil in 1974. It was an incredible 86,136-carat natural beryl crystal. The stone was eventually valued at $1,120,080. The largest emerald crystal ever discovered was 7,025 carats and was found in a mine in Colombia.
-
The emerald was recovered during normal mining operations on February 5, the company said in a statement, and is being examined by Gemfields' experts to establish a clearer understanding of its value and significance. The emerald has been named "Insofu" (which means "elephant" in the language of the Bemba people indigenous to the region) due to its size and in honour of the World Land Trust's "Wild Lands Elephant Corridor Project", of which Gemfields is a participant.

'Crawler Town,' an epic LEGO city on wheels | DVICE - 0 views

As it should, Crawler Town has its own little backstory: Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes Hell, living in a wasteland doesn't sound so bad! Check out more in the gallery below.

Dave DeGobbi's mind-blowing Crawler Town should have its own movie written around it. If there are any fans of Borderlands out there, it's heavily reminiscent of Baron Flynt's massive rig-turned-city, the Thor.
Wi-Reach Turns 3G Dongles into Wi-Fi Hotspots | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - 4 views
-

The Wi-Reach 3G Personal Hotspot doesn’t even require that you pull the SIM card from your existing USB modem. The plastic box, which resembles a battery charger, has a USB port inside into which you slot your stick. From there, it takes the EVDO or HSPA modem’s connection and turns it into an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi hotspot, powered by a lithium-ion battery for up to five hours (or powered via its mini-USB port). It’ll even work with 4G dongles when they start to show up.

Yes! Yes!
