Faltazi Envisions the Eco Kitchen of the Future

by Lea Bogdan, 02/10/10

This green Ekokook kitchen by Faltazi design is one of the most well-researched culinary concepts we have seen. Ekokook proposes that in the future, the general public will strive to become self-sufficient in their homes, and they will do so through conservation and reuse. Eco enthusiasts will drool over the abundance of green features and efficient functionality, and the hearts of design aficionados will beat a bit faster when they see the clean lines, polished renderings, and ultra-cool process video.

FREE SOFTWARE 

Here's a list of programs that are free/open source. I have all the microsoft products on my computer and I have to say keeping up with licensing and the latest version is a pain in the ass and needless to say very expensive over time. My switch to these programs has been gradual but I have to say I am VERY happy with them and today I am Microsoft free. (Except for Windows) Plus they all are fully compatible with the paid versions so you can easily share, import and export files. NOT a problem. I don't even miss them. I'm tempted to erase everything Microsoft but I'm just not there yet...maybe next week. LOL 

Keep in mind everyone is targeting microsoft and they are doing it by offering competitive alternatives for FREE hoping you will pay for other services they offer. So take advantage. And all are compatible with MS Windows and Mac OS X computers.

Elephant Seal Cuddles With Woman (VIDEO)

I could die happy with an experience like this. Laying on the beach, cuddles with my elephant seal friend with penquins walking around. A perfect day.

Mets Season Final at Citifield

A great end to the summer. Derek managed to get tickets to the new Citifield Stadium here in Queens and I got to see the Mets play. I'm not a big fan of baseball on tv, a bit of a snorefest if you ask me. But I love going to the park. The people watching is great. The food is great. You get some good sun, you do sing-a-long, you dance a bit and then the 7th inning stretch. Fun. After we strolled over to where they play the US Open Tennis Championships, then on to Corona park which is like Central Park for Queens. The park was filled with soccer players from all over Latin America. I had just seen a documentary on PBS about the Golden League who play in the park. All ex-professional players from all over South America. So if you are a big fan of soccer it's the place to see some of your heroes from days gone by.
