some highlights…..

SMALL TALK: OCCUPY WISH LISTS AND BORDER-LINE SEAGAL
Reyhan Harmanci, culture editor of San Francisco’s Bay Citizen, proves that even protestors have wish lists. And Texas Monthly editor Jake Silverstein reveals there’s a new lawman on the border beat… and he has a 7th-degree black belt in C-movies — excuse us — “aikido.”

CHATTERING CLASS: GARY HUSTWIT
Filmmaker Gary Hustwit has crisscrossed the globe in search of bold and baffling trends in design. His accessible films constitute a sort of “Design Trilogy”: Helvetica picks apart the ubiquitous font, Objectified examines product design, and now Urbanized (out next weekend) tackles city planning. This week Gary schools us on the latest in urban design, so you’ve got something to talk about with the next designer you dine with.

MAIN COURSE: TRUE TURKISH DELIGHT
With the retro candy trend heating up, Rico heads to Istanbul, Turkey to taste the 18th-century confection known as Turkish Delight. Writer and food guide Megan Clark of Istanbul Eats points him to Altan Sekerleme, where four generations of Turks have been making the stuff since the 1800s. How’s that for old-school?

Email may be faster than the U.S. Postal Service, but it’s not quite as romantic. (Seduction involves patience, after all.) That explains why thousands of people have submitted correspondence to a month-long public art project called Snail Mail My Email. The project seeks to bring back appreciation for the art of letter writing by letting participants submit emails, which are then transcribed on paper, tucked into an envelope, and dropped in the mail. The project even pays for your postage, and they offer “one custom option” per letter, ranging from a doodle to a lipstick kiss.

“Snail Mail My Email” Marries the Romance of Analog with the Convenience of Digital – Media – GOOD.

Compactable Urban Bycicle by Victor Aleman

via The Design Inspiration by The Design Inspiration on 4/6/11

Would you like a good looking bicycle that can be really small when it is not in use? Victor Aleman designed Compactable Urban Bicycle for us, in order to save space when it is being transported or it is not in use.

The Wheel is composed of six modules, each one has a double pivot in the joints, this allows the wheel to fold and become smaller, the spokes are contained in the inner structure of the wheel, when you unfold the system, the spokes rotate to the center of the mechanism where it attaches to the center of the wheel.

The double triangle structure is composed of expandable modules, each one collapses to a smaller dimension and then this modules aligns with the rotation of the axis in the joint of the structure. A special X aligns all the modules to their position
