jtotheizzoe: Here’s A Light Fixture That Runs On Bacteria As we phase out incandescent lights for compact fluorescents, we save energy but take the risk of mercury pollution (there’s heavy metals galore in CFLs). What if we could light our homes with biology? Similar to the Glowing Plant project from earlier this week, here’s Philips concept for a microbial lamp powered by the chemistry of biological luminescence. It’s part of Philips’ “Microbial Home” future concept, which also includes urban beehives and bacterial waste recycling. You can get off the grid, and onto the petri dish. (via Co.Design)

jtotheizzoe: Diagnosed with autism at age 2, told he would never learn to read, now 14 years old and working on a Master’s degree in quantum physics. If you’re looking for an inspiration today, look no further than Jacob Barnett. I like his mom’s concept of “muchness”: Surrond children with what they love, be it art, science, sports or whatever, and they will develop more fully than molding them to a design would ever allow.

  • butty is a controversial one which means different things in different parts of the country (like for me a bacon butty would mean bacon in a burger bun, not a sandwich) - you can definitely use sandwich and I would stick to it for safety
  • you can still say cupcake, hungry and dessert and be perfectly British
  • cozzy is short for swimming costume, which is what I’d actually say
  • I’ve never heard a scarf being called a muffler
  • You can use all of the “American” insults here and still remain British-sounding apart from jerk because no one says jerk. Some of those “British” insults sound a bit silly to me (please don’t call someone a plonker dear lord).
  • Don’t ever say cheerio unless you want to sound like a twat

i have never heard anyone call something ‘the dog’s bollocks’ in my life
