An Impromptu Musical At The…

There seems to be a lot of these impromptu musical pranks on YouTube. I’m not too sure how it all began or if it is just the beginning for an advertising campaign. They are all very interesting and entertaining though. Hmmm.

This video is the first one I found and it is used as advertising but I’m not too sure what came first, the prank or the ad?

Ksubi’s Cardboard Shop – The Bombed Mache

Ksubi and Herbert Mason Architects have put on their arts and crafts hats and created an award winning design. The Bombed Mache was awarded with the top prize at the 2008 Interior Design Awards, by the Design Institute of Australia, for their ingenuity.

80% of the store was created from refuse and throw away materials, making it simple, cheap and eco-friendly.

This design must make them the envy of hipsters and homeless people everywhere.

The Ksubi Bombed Mache store is located at 1021 High Street, Armadale, Melbourne, Australia.

Solar Powered Ferris Wheel

Pacific Park, Santa Monica has spent $1.5 million dollars on this eco-friendly ferris wheel, making it the first solar powered ferris wheel in the world. You may have seen the ferris wheel it replaced. (The original wheel was sold on EBay for $132,400)

“Forever in the celebrity spotlight, the Pacific Wheel has a very impressive list of credits with appearances in more than 105 photo shoots, 71 television commercials, 69 television shows, 28 feature films and 13 music videos.”

Santa Monica is located in Southern California, and we all know that in The O.C. (TV show) it rained all of about once. SoCal has an abundance of sunlight so Pacific Park is using solar panels to generate more than 71,000-kilowatt hour of renewable photovoltic (PV) power from the sun, and when it’s cloudy they just use conventional energy. More than 160,000 energy-efficient LED lights are used to save power and to complement the solar-power application.
