タンスに眠るバイオ燃料

廃棄物からバイオエタノールを生成する技術の開発競争が激化している。ベンチャー会社の日本環境設計は、古着からエタノールを作り出す技術を開発した。竹中工務店は、ジャガイモのでんぷん工場から出る廃液などの再利用に取り組む。

ITの活用も大事だが、おいしいトマトには土が重要

コンピューター業界で活躍した純浦氏が、体調を崩したことをきっかけに興したのが、農作物の栽培技術を開発する「アニス」。同社の技術の特徴は、農薬を使わず、手間をかけず、その結果の作物がおいしいこと。農業のIT化＝省力化と思いがちだが、農薬不使…

目新しさは、新しい技術

人の目にさらされ続けているものは

新しい技術をさらに開発し続けなければ

廃れるのも早い

ライバルの技術力が同じならば

新しい技術をお披露目するタイミングがキモ

そこに差があるなら

劣っていようと、勝っていようと、

技術力が同じように見せておくのも手

Kiwa Korean House Inspired Bench

Kiwa Korean House Inspired Bench: "

This beautiful bench inspired by a Korean style Han-ok house is gorgeous from end to end. The Kiwa’s sinuous curves are evocative and inviting for my bum (cue British people laughing) to sit on. The general shape of the structure comes from the specific arrangement of tiles found in its muse. Hey if it’s strong enough to house people, it’s certainly strong enough to sit on.

Super Substitutions

Super Substitutions: "

Super super substitutes! Each of these items is a domestic object not being used for its original use. I used too many “use” words in that sentence. Anyway! Each of these items is only completed by the items which it holds. For example, the book table: it holds books. As it becomes full of books, the books then become a table! Neat! Three items included in this set!

And this set is golden! Because everyone knows that three is a magic number. After the table (or before the table, depending on how you look at it,) we’ve got the lamp. The lamp is too bright until you fill it up with receipts, the receipts of course then becoming the shade for the lamp!

Then there’s the room divider. It’s just a lonely set of hanger-like objects on poles until their full of your most fashionable fashions. Then they divide rooms with the best of em! Go Gabi!
