Tel Aviv's Underground Rainbow Tunnel~



I absolutely love this street intervention project in which the artists (Bar&Shay) altered public lighting in Tel Aviv's open underground tunnel. Artists Bar&Shay said their street art muse was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Truly great urban art~

Q-Sound headphones get their power from the sun~



If you're looking for headphones from the future, look no further than the Q-Sound solar Bluetooth headphones. Not only do they look pretty damned futuristic, but they get extra juice from the sun and connect to your device of choice with no cables required. Oh, and I'm sure they sound great, too~

Astronauts Drink Urine, Love Every Drop~


At the international space station, it was one small sip for man and a giant gulp of recycled urine for mankind. Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine, sweat and water that condenses from exhaled air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground who were sipping their own version of recycled drinking water~

"The taste is great," American astronaut Michael Barratt said. Then as Russian Gennady Padalka tried to catch little bubbles of the clear water floating in front of him, Barratt called the taste "worth chasing"~

Philadelphia gives new look to garbage trucks~



Everything is recycled nowadays, even garbage trucks. In Philadelphia, most loathing garbage trucks go the decorated way with textile patterns. To make it worthy and acceptable, Mural Arts Program teamed up with The Design Center of Philadelphia University to conceptualize, design and produce the graphic wraps for the trucks. No doubt, their efforts have changed dirty looking trucks into pieces of movable art~

First Look at M. Night’s ‘The Last Airbender’~


M. Night Shyamalan’s adaption of the popular cartoon “Avatar: The Last Airbender” stars 12 year-old newcomer Noah Ringer, who is remarkbly similar in apperance to the original cartoon character he will portray on screen, ‘Aang’. He even earned ‘Aang’ as nickname for the likeness, before hew as even cast in the film~

Ringer is a black-belt tae kwon do martial arts expert, so was ideally suited for the role in just about every possible way. He landed the part by sending in a home made video of himself practicing martial arts. His character ‘Aang’ uses his incredible martial arts skills to manipulate the weather and other elements. “The Last Airbender” is slated for release on July 2, 2010.~
