Lightbulb

You know the homes with the tall 2 story (or 2 1/2 story) entries with a big chandelier hanging from the ceiling? Ok, that sounds far more grandeur than it should. It's not... believe me.So we have an entryway like this and I've blogged about the frustration I have of not being able to paint that wall. I can go as high as 'me standing on the tippy top of an 8 foot ladder' but that's my paint l

On my way to the daycare center this morning I had an epiphany. There's been something not quite right with my hero. Something small, but important. Something I had done with him and his ex was interfering with the budding romance between him and the heroine - in my mind, at least. Yet, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. And then I knew. A small but necessary

A lightbulb in a firehouse in Livermore, CA, has been burning continuously since 1901. Unofficial keeper of the bulb, retired firefighter Tom Bramell reckons its longevity is down to old-fashioned craftsmanship. "I believe the bulb has stayed alive so many years because the makers gave it a perfect seal, so no air gets inside the bulb to help disintegrate the carbon filament. This bulb operates in a vacuum and it doesn't burn hot. That's the secret."

Ecco un'idea carina per creare ambientazioni particolari semplicemente cambiano il colore dell'illuminazione di una stanza. Si tratta di una lampada a led (quindi a bassissimo consumo, circa 5w) multicolor, LIGHTBULB, comandata da un semplice telecomando e grazie al quale oltre a decidere il colore è possibile impostare la luminosità.

Light bulb is a levitating yet powered lightbulb. It will float stably in midair and remain on for years without any physical contact, charging, or batteries. Ironically, with the levitation and wireless power circuitry both on, this entire package still consumes less than half the power of an incandescent bulb. This is not a trick or a photoshop manipulation. The bulb and the casing contain

Wal-Mart and Minnesota Waste Management will be hosting a florescent light bulb recycling day this Saturday across Minnesota in an attempt to be more green. The press release states Retailing giant Wal-Mart, under fire from activist groups for its labor practices and from Wall Street of late for sluggish sales growth, has been pursuing an aggressive environmental campaign. The aim is both to improve efficiency of the company’s operations as well as to boost sales in stores. “We’ve been looking for several different ways to be responsible stewards for our environment,” said Julie Idelkope, a spokeswoman. It’s a great idea, but with businesses like IKEA having routine complimentary recycling, is a single day enough to green Wal-Mart? via [twin cities] activist groups, boost sales, environmental campaign, florescent light, Green Business, green events, light bulb, News, recycle, recycling, responsible stewards, sluggish sales, spokeswoman, wal mart

There are four things about the LED Keychain Lightbulb from Brando that make it worth picking up: its fun, useful, a little bizarre, and very inexpensive. When you press on the bulb tail, a tiny LED will power up the light. Naturally, a product like this could prove very useful for those of you who are tired of fumbling for keys in the dark. Plus the bulb is made of acrylic so there is no need to worry about broken glass. Price: $6

Ooh, how exciting. I've just seen on the Pet Shop Boys website that they're currently rehearsing the next leg of the tour with a "different stage design". Having seen stills and clips during the whole of the last tour and being as jel as hell at not being able to go (I eschewed the festivals to wait for a 'proper' concert), it's great to see it'll be a changed show for part deux... and I've got tix for 27th May at Hammersmith Apollo. Hoorah!

Subtitle: The dimbulbs are at it again In the name of the environment, a California politician wants our state to be the first to ban the use of incandescent lightbulbs in favor of florescent ones. Mind you, I am a big fan of the environment. I recycle religiously, try to conserve gasoline with my driving habits, and turn off lights at home that don’t need to be on. I keep my thermostat at a reasonable temperature and don’t use air conditioning much in the summer. But I have to draw the line at being forced to use fluorescents inside my home. I understand that they use less energy. That’s a good thing. But as a migraine sufferer, I don’t like the subtle flickering effect that fluors have. I have suffered many a headache at work when the light above my desk began to wear out. The “temperature” of the light is annoying too. I love the golden glow my incandescents emit, it makes my home cozy. I just can’t see fluors providing soothing light. If

“How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act” would ban incandescent light bulbs by 2012 in favor of energy-saving compact fluorescent lightbulbs in the state of California. It’s about time we start making the switch. I wonder if the bill will pass, since we at times seem to be such a stubborn society. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but we as a society need to start thinking in a way that considers our environment and our grandchildren. I’ve talked about CFL bulbs before and how they just made sense (so much so that even Walmart is on board). Why switch to CFL bulbs you ask? “They save money and energy,” EPA spokeswoman Enesta Jones said. “They are more convenient than other alternatives and come in different sizes and shapes to fit almost any fixture.” Also, CFLs generate 70 percent less heat than incandescent lights, Jones said. About a fifth of the average U.S. home’s electricity costs pays for l

"Shines", "brilliance", "luminous" (x2), "electric"...all point to one thing!Anyway. Just uploaded a bunch of Coast of Utopia images onto our Photobucket album, borrowed from the LCT's multimedia section, Playbill multimedia, the NY Times Shipwreck slideshow, as well as Newsday's. There are four random scans from the clippings package as well. That one there is from the Utopia Playbill. Familiar photo, no?On with the bread and butter. Leonard Jacobs of Backstage:[...] Beyond Jack O'Brien's staging (far less obstreperous than in Voyage), beyond Stoppard's dense-as-a-thicket dialogue (where a dispute about coffee might naturally precede a debate about censorship), what's increasingly admirable is how beautifully the actors zero in on the key qualities each scene must convey. If Stoppard gives himself barely any time to convey truth, story, and character, the actors have even less of it. In this sense, O'Byrne is a dynamo. His Herzen has a stark freshness, while Ehle's voice re
