    Wow, I'm glad it's so tough, I don't want to hurt it's feeling when I call it a monstrous piece of scheisse.

    Oh, and nothing that big is eco friendly.

    @Shamoononon: I shave my legs.: Trees are big and they're pretty eco-friendly. Pharmaceuticals are generally pretty small, but they're kind of eco-hostile. Your logic sucks.

    Wouldn't work for my kid. He'd have is retort before the monster sink got through the first sentence:

    FUCK YOU! YOU'RE A FUCKING SINK. YOU THINK I GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOUR VIEWS ON CONSERVATION. BITE MY FUCKIN' HAND OFF! I FUCKIN' DARE YA! IF YOU FUCKIN' TOUCH ME I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE SEX OFFENDER LIST FOR THE REST OF YOUR SAD MONSTER SINK LIFE. FUCK THAT. MAYBE I'LL JUST GO OUT TO THE GARAGE AND GET A SELDGE HAMMER AND KNOCK YOUR SORRY ASS OFF THE WALL. YOU'LL BE IN PIECES, FLOATING AROUND WHILE THE GUSHING EXPOSED PLUMBING FILLS THE ROOM WITH WATER AND YOU'RE CRYING ABOUT WHAT A FUCKIN' WASTE IT IS. YOU KNOW WHAT. THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK. I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE A DUMP IN YOUR MOUTH. ENJOY!

    In reply to The Living Light Sculpture
    It's gorgeous, and bizarrely informative (or informatively bizarre?)... but what the hell is its purpose? The Living Light article just calls it a "project". Best I can come up with is art installation to keep people thinking about how they're impacting their local air quality? It's also good for long-term data collection, I guess.

    Seems kinda silly as a daily warning system. People normally have shit to do in certain neighborhoods, so they can't just say, "Oh, air quality's bad in that area today, I guess I won't go," or, "Hey, air quality's bitchin' uptown, think I'll check that out!" Weekends would be another matter, I guess. #livinglight

    That is pretty amazing. I'd love to have something similar to this just hanging in my room, not for this purpose, but it looks like something out of stargate XD

    If anyone would like to let me know how to do the laser etching and such to make glass light up like that, please let me know, DIY FTW! :D #livinglight

    @Jaredu: I'm gonna guess (and not RTFA) that the glass is simply acid etched. The glass panels are then made to light up like that by putting LEDs on the edge of the glass. #livinglight

    @Jaredu: [www.wootenmetal.com]

    They can laser etch any vector or raster image into anything from plate steel to blue jeans. They can also do glass. Oh, and if anyone is interested they told me they can probably do iPhones (I was specifically asking about first gen, not sure how the plastic would hold up).

    After you etch the glass, just end-light it with a LED strip.

    "The stained glass industry could be due for a big boon."

    ....You know how folks get all excited when there's a turn of the millennium, or a certain comet passes by? You know one of those "this is a once-in-several-lifetimes event" kinda things?

    There need to be days to recognize sentences like this the same way.

    Beautiful tones. If only more colors were effective — combine to make a spectrum. :) I'd be fond of green + pink. An entire rainbow would appear like Daft Punk/James White of SignalNoise.

    I'm sure I've used them to make a toothbrush holder out of at school...
    In fact I'd love to get a few panels of these n have a tweak about with them, could make something very pretty compared to the current black one.
    Also surely if they each only absorb part of the spectrum if you lay them on top of each other they'll get most of the spectrum? Or is my colour theory off today?

    I'm all for Kryptonian installation art. Heck I can turn a blind eye to some weirdo's crystal fortress in the North Pole, but I'm so sick of their novelty items.
