Goodmorning - Happy Queensday!!!!!!

It's Queensday in the Netherlands. Not our queen at this moment but her mothers birthday. And like Easter, birthdays, halloween it's normal to say on days like this Happy Queensday!!!!! Everything is orange, people get drunk, public transportation problems. It's always very nice in Amsterdam, that's why I'm not there at the moment. Supermarkets are allowed to sell 1 alcoholic beverage (beer) per customer. Can you imagine the long rows before the register? And don't you think people are smart enough (and that's something for me to say, the combination of people and smart) to have bought it this week? Okay don't be too grumpy ... for all the people who love to be around masses of other people: enjoy this song (Greensleeves) on the Otamatone.

Bicycle Wine Rack

Handy! Does it come with a cooler for white wine?

"The rack secures tightly to the frame so that the two parts do not separate. I've tried it with a bunch of different bottles and it's nicely flexible.

The fittings and hardware are all brass."

Burma Political Prisoners Art And Photo Installation

On June 22, 2010, Human Rights Watch, in collaboration with the advertising agency, JWT, launched 2100 in 2010, a public outreach and education project in Vanderbilt Hall, in the historic Grand Center Station to raise awareness about Burma's 2,100 political prisoners. The installation-- a massive mock prison of 200 miniature cells, each framing a photograph of a Burmese political prisoner inside a prison cell of detachable pens--allowed supporters to remove the pens, thus removing the bars of the cell, and sign a petition calling upon Burma's military rulers to free the political prisoners.

Foreverlamp

Finally nice lamps. I would love to have a couple of these.

"'alessilux' is a new project by italian design brand alessi which aims to dissolve the boundaries between light bulb and luminary. the company's first move into the world of lighting, they challenged a group of three young designers: giovanni alessi anghini, gabriele chiave and frederic gooris to re-imagine the light bulbs as an object of design. something with a personality that becomes a protagonist - through new innovative shapes and colors -
in the environment in which it is placed. debuting at milan design week 2011, production and distribution of the products has been given to the technical and manufacturing skills of foreverlamp."
