“Things that are made from organic material age and decay, especially when they stop being alive. A piece of home-baked bread, say, left on your kitchen counter, will get moldy relatively fast. Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald’s hamburger and fries every day for 137 days. They look basically exactly the same.” via GOOD

The Bloom Box : A Power Plant the Size of a Coffee Mug

Those two blocks can power the average high-consumption American home — one block can power the average European home. At least that’s the claim being made by K.R. Sridhar, founder of Bloom Energy, on 60 Minutes last night. The original technology comes from an oxygen generator meant for a scrapped NASA Mars program that’s been converted, with the help of an estimated $400 million in private funding, into a fuel cell.

The device is already being used by Google, Fed Ex, Staples, eBay and several others.

To me, the interesting thing about the line is how both similar and different it is to regular graffiti. Essentially, most graffiti writers enjoy seeing their name on things. The bigger they can paint it and the more visible their tag is, the more people will notice their conquering of the city. MOMO created the largest tag in New York, yet the scale of his work here, so massive that it can’t all be viewed at once, means that thousands of people will walk on it each day and never even notice it. It’s simultaneously the biggest and smallest artistic statement I have seen in my time here.

A Nepalese living goddess, locally known as Kumari, is taken through the city on a chariot pulled by devotees during the Gaijatra festival in Katmandu, Nepal. Thursday, Aug. 26, 2010. The living goddesses are selected between the ages of 2 and 4 and a panel of judges examine them in a series of ancient ceremonies, checking horoscopes, searching for physical imperfections such as scars and wounds. Critics say the tradition violates both international and Nepalese laws on child rights. (AP Photo/Binod Joshi)
