duct (tape) work
say hello to mark khaisman, a philadephia-based artist who hails from kiev, ukraine. his medium of choice is tape.
how he gets his inspiration: “i go mostly by motivation. i conceive an idea and live with it, and if in a while it still feels right to me, i work on it.”
david horvitz and his grandma
this is one of the coolest and most clever things i’ve ever seen…
david horwitz took pictures of all the pictures in his grandma’s house and put them in a pdf for you to download as a keepsake for yourself.
it’s not that hard being green
if you live in eastern pennsylvania, think about going to this year’s energyfest!
based in kempton, pa, the three-day festival teaches about renewable energy, natural building construction, sustainable agriculture, land-use planning, forestry and healthy living practices in general. pretty awesome.

sugar…oh, honey honey
from our marketing manager, kathryn… :)
my brother and his partner, who live one of my many dream lives, spend 3 months out of the year here in philadelphia with family and the rest of the year in their home in hawaii. they, among other things, are local beekeepers. before they left this year, they harvested the hives and left me with a jar of local, organic honey. you can see the difference between the smaller jar of honey that was harvested here, and the darker honey from hawaii. apparently, when done organically, the color depends on the flowers the bees choose to collect pollen. check out their website to learn more about organic, biodynamic honey. i’d like to learn how to keep bees eventually when I have some space, but for now i’ll enjoy these gifts from them. wanted to give them some love for the cool things they are doing. xo.
a few interesting notes about honey and beekeeping…
1. it is said that eating local honey can help prevent and tame outside allergies.
2. there are said to be 212,000 beekeepers in the US, and about 95% of them are hobbyists.
3. the white house vegetable garden is home to a hive.
