    So, this is the opposite of the Love Boat? The Responsibility Boat?

    Also, from the picture, I thought I was looking at some seriously funky/unbalanced ceiling fan. #fluid

    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.

    Can we please build a 500ft Sentinel facing west somewhere on Hawaii? It would incorporate a missile defense system that fires from the robot's extended middle fingers.

    I don't know, it sure seems like a good hiding place for some kind of secret weapon if you ask me.

    What a bootleg-ass version of Mazinger Z. Can't the Koreans do anything original. Maybe a lifesized Starcraft base or somthing.

    I'll get flamed by Koreans but here it goes. Korea has always been trying to "one up" Japan and China for decades. They're also notorious for "borrowing" from Chinese and Japanese culture and claiming it their own. Hell a year ago they were claiming that Confucius was Korean.

    Sadly, after the failed "Pink Goo" Statue of Liberty experiment, the US has continued to lag in the Giant Frakkin' Robot arms race. It is a sad day when our best hope for a Giant Frakkin' Robot is Michael Bay.
