"below is the recently (2003) extended runway at funchal airport in madeira. the original 1400m runway was notoriously short and, as a result, sometimes dangerous for landing planes. the runway extension won the iabse’s ‘outstanding structures award’ and rightly so: due to an obvious lack of land, engineers have supported the extension on 180 pillars, each 70m high. on the last photo you can see what seems to be a car park that now lives under the end of the runway."

I wanted to share a site with you folks that I've been working on with the dev team at Colle+McVoy this last month.
As part of a project for Free Arts Minnesota, we put together a little web toy that allows you to make your own digital Qee and share it with the world.
What's a Qee? They are cute little vinyl toys. They come blank-white, and you get to be the designer and paint them any way you like. The digital version lets you experiment a little more with your design skills and you can fire the little dudes off to your friends.
It's pretty fun. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Clothes designer Hussein Chalayan has designed dresses that transform into other dresses. There is even one dress that disappears entirely. Watch the video. (NSFW due to naked lady at the end.)

"One part geek Olympics, one part community service project and one part race-against-the-clock—Sierra Bravo’s F1 Overnight Website Challenge will partner deserving Minnesota non-profits with teams of talented web developers for 24 hours of fun collaboration culminating in a fully operational website for each participating non-profit."
Two reasons why this is an awesome idea:
1. A short-timespan codeathon means you can donate your time without worrying about a gratis project blowing way out of scope. Anything that doesn't contribute to the goal needs to be efficiently nipped in the bud.
2. It supports the concept that a defined programming effort and a small team can actually accomplish a huge amount of work in a small amount of time.

"I’ve heard of students roughing it, but sleeping in freight containers? That’s right. Only it’s not a case of desperate living or some torturous fraternity hazing — it’s a very cool, very useful idea developed by a Dutch company called TempoHousing."
