		<description><![CDATA[A Treehugger article from earlier today warns against the dangers of supposedly &#8220;local&#8221; farmers selling very un-local products. The writer, somewhere &#8220;on highway 11 just North of Orillia&#8221;, stopped at a farm stand with signs promising &#8220;Ontario Corn&#8221; and &#8220;Ontario Blueberries&#8221; only to discover a California label on one of the plums at the bottom of the basket he had purchased.
The lesson: pay attention to what you buy. Remember that not everyone is looking out for your best interests.
Is that Farmer Really Selling Local Food?

		<description><![CDATA[Because digital cameras can distinguish colors the human eye can&#8217;t even see, the company Kameraflage has developed technology which allows them to insert these invisible shades into anything from fabrics to billboards to movies. This will allow anyone to catch a glimpse of  hidden shapes like the lightning-strike in the adjacent photo with their digital cameras or cell-phones. The business opportunities are potentially limitless.

Well, certain cities are taking back the streets and making them a little more amenable to the needs of modern women, offering cab services run exclusively by the fair sex. Trendwatching&#8217;s recent roundup of cool products for women, gays and boomers have a short piece on these new services, and they do indeed sound pretty useful. In London, Pink Ladies is a new private car franchise that one can join and pay for via a special &#8220;pink account&#8221;, and offers [...]]]></description>

They have compiled several prime examples, including Friction TV, the &#8220;YouTube for social activists&#8221;, H.E.L.P, a &#8220;telemedecine-based online community of physicians and financial donors bringing advanced medical assistance to disaster zones and areas of humanitarian need around the world&#8221; and Kiva, &#8220;a site that connects the world&#8217;s poorer populations [...]]]></description>

 	In the game, players control their ships, but the sharks are controlled by real-world white sharks with GPS units attached to their fins. Real-world telemetry data provides the position and movement of actual great white sharks in the game, so every shark that players encounter corresponds to a real shark in the real world.
Ships in the game move in real-time, so players receive email and/or SMS alerts during [...]]]></description>

One such example is Playstation&#8217;s 3Rooms, a 9m sq cube that appeared at this month&#8217;s Manchester International Festival. The conspicuous metal box contained a veritable laboratory of high-tech, aesthetically pleasing equipment operated by a host  of net-savvy students &#8211; &#8220;the cream of local art and film schools and universities&#8221; &#8211; all of whom worked towards making the festival more than just a few days of good music.

		<description><![CDATA[Every city has its secrets. Most of them are right there before our eyes, obscured perhaps by force of habit or by grime, but they are there nonetheless, in the very bones of the buildings, waiting to be revealed.
To discover them is the self-imposed role of an emerging breed of thrill seekers looking for a new kind of fix – urban explorers. These modern day adventurers are the pioneers of a new final frontier, whose borders lie not in space or at the bottom of the ocean, but in the deepest recesses of the city itself with its seemingly endless [...]]]></description>

This is the question posed by an exhibit which opened recently in Oslo, Norway as part of the World Environment Day 2007, and the answer seems to be in the affirmative. The exhibit, called &#8220;Envisioning Change&#8221;, gathers a collection of different art and design work from a variety of media to showcase what a sustainable future might look like. Here are some thoughts on the exhibit by sponsor Autodesk:

For the student awards, the bronze medal went to Julia Burke of the University of Notre Dame, who created a system called Green Air, a &#8220;low-cost, space-efficient air purification system that uses plants to reduce toxins in the air&#8221;. The system works as such:
The wall-mounted ceramic planter contains a small 115 VAC fan that slowly pushes air through the soil to the plant’s roots, a process that breaks down toxins equal to that of 15 regular plants. A conical bottom allows users to easily replace [...]]]></description>

This may seem strange considering the ubiquity of mobile phone and internet usage, but the point is that kids see the specific aspects of technology rather than the macro &#8220;concept&#8221; of it; they may talk about &#8220;downloading&#8221; or &#8220;burning&#8221;, &#8220;consoles&#8221; or &#8220;myspace&#8221;, but rarely does technology as a whole appear as a specified interest or concern.
The statistics, however, vary considerably. Far more youths from countries like Brazil, India and China tend to admit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the summer of love is making its perennial return this year, then whatever happened to the happenings? Well, they too are back, updated for the new millenium, less avant-gardey and conceptual perhaps but nevertheless as epistemologically destabilizing as ever &#8211; because flash mobs are the new happenings. NextGreatThing has a good article explaining them. Here&#8217;s the gist of it:

		<description><![CDATA[It would appear that Nintendo, despite having released a console system that has remained unprecedentedly appealing to a broad audience, still can&#8217;t manage to make enough of its product to go around. In the words of Reggie Fils-Aime, the president  of Nintendo America, the Wii has &#8220;effectively been sold out for all 33 weeks&#8221; (of its being on the market), and is somehow still &#8220;poised to become the No. 1 platform worldwide very soon&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Video gaming may be the ascendant televised sport. Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s News Corp has just set up the Championship Gaming Series, or CGS, which made its debut a few nights ago on the DirecTV stations BSkyB and Star TV, and although no one can say for sure how big this trend is really going to be, it looks as though vicarious virtuality will finally be giving vicarious reality a run for its money.
