Revolving restaurant at top of BT Tower, London to reopen after 30 years - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...
Myrna, Mitch Baldwin, Mona Nomura and 34 other people liked this
"For years it has stood unvisited and was considered an unfashionable 1960s monolith with an uncertain future. But with the flick of a switch, launching fireworks and a new 500ft-high Olympics countdown screen, central London’s BT Tower has been given a new burst of life. And now it seems the rotating restaurant – its crowning glory until it was closed 30 years ago – will reopen to the public."

My father treated me to a meal there in 1975 to celebrate my BA in Architecture. Apart from the view I love that weirdness of revolving restaurants where the moving part of the floor meets the fixed part. It feels like standing across an accelerated version of the San Andreas fault

Very jealous, Tim. It's always been my favourite building in London. I've just had the loft renovated in my house in West London, and one of the wonderful things is that I can see it from the new windows in my roof!

I live right there! When them fireworks kicked off on Saturday night, they scared the bejesus out of me. So pretty! But lasted for less than a minute :( The spotlights and sparkles treatment on Friday was lovely, too. I could happily fall asleep watching it every night, provided none of the lasers shoot into my eyes.

Ian, when you said you had your loft renovated, i thought you were going to say it now rotates. :)

Donna & Riley's Zero Energy Idea House http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf...

Kol Tregaskes, Nicholas Kreidberg, imabonehead and 20 other people liked this
Meaningful design, sustainability, eco-conscious are all terms we’d like to use when describing our homes. But this is a house that can truly boast such expressions. The Zero Energy Idea House, perched over the shores of Lake Sammamish, is a real house built for a real family who have been dedicated to building sustainable homes for over 22 years.
- Derrick
“Zero energy” refers to the fact that this house meets its own energy needs. The electrical needs are met by rooftop solar panels and the hot water is also heated by the sun. The inside of the home features water conservation fixtures such as dual flush toilets and low-flow showerheads as well as Energy Star® appliances, high-efficiency hydronic heating, structural insulated panels and...

-1 for the HDR pictures. Blech.
- Derrick
LOL! It's so funny to see people hate on HDR. You either like it or REALLY don't.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
It's so distracting, Lindsay. Especially for something like this. I can get it for say, artistic endeavors, but I can't really see the house, because all I can see is the HDR. :(
- Derrick
Yeah, I suppose it can be a little over done, but when you're taking pictures of a house at night you have to do SOME corrective exposure or you're going to have blown out highlights or lose detail in the shadows... HDR doesn't have to look surreal. I think the best applications of it are where you don't really even notice that it is HDR, but you can see all the details.

Want that windmill. Those nice-looking helix types are so cool. And really useful for an area like Berkeley where we get more wind than sun.

Is the Pre/WebOS's market share really tanking *that* fast, given that it's only just arrived on the market? (Although presumably, that chart is biassed towards the US industry).
- Tyson Key
@Tyson - I think they're measuring Palm's overall market share, not just the Pre/other current Palm models.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Aah, thanks for the clarification, Jennifer. I was slightly mislead by the chart, since I haven't got around to reading the article yet.

On that note, there isn't really an article as such, Oh well.

"Located in Torslanda, Sweden, this country-side villa is anything but ordinary. The exterior features a unique look and the house actually seems tore in two parts, even though they are connected through a beautiful terrace. The interior combines modern furniture with classic decorative items in creating a very original image. The suspended fireplace is the focal point of the living-room and the piece that has the ability to entice the magic atmosphere the place gives away"

errorist, anessa, Lars Clausen and 35 other people liked this
"This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama. The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale. Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation."
