A computer exerts less energy displaying a black screen than it does with a white screen. A black Google would conserve a significant amount of energy if multiplied by the number of searches conducted on Google each day. Blackle is green!

I just got back from Designertopia in London which was pretty cool and inspiring (thx) but nothing ‘really new’ except Ray Hammond’s amazing prophecies about the future. And while reading some local press I discovered Kabaret Prophecy, a tiny club with an amazing visual installation done by UVA. LED love for next visit!

Fallen Astronaut is an 8.5cm aluminum sculpture of an astronaut in a spacesuit. It is the only piece of art on the Moon.

It was created by Belgian artist Paul Van Hoeydonck, who met astronaut David Scott at a dinner party. Van Hoeydonck was asked to create a small statuette to personally commemorate those astronauts and cosmonauts having lost their lives in the furtherance of space exploration. Van Hoeydonck was given a set of design restrictions: in addition to the physical requirements that the sculpture be both lightweight and sturdy, and that it be capable of withstanding the temperature extremes of the Moon, the statuette could not be identifiably male or female, nor of any identifiable ethnic group. Furthermore, in accordance with Scott’s wish to avoid the commercialization of space, Van Hoeydonck’s name would not be made public.

In 1971, Fallen Astronaut was placed on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 15, along with a plaque bearing the names of fourteen American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts who died during spaceflights or training exercises
