Arrival at Danier.com provides what looks to be a leather fashion e-commerce website, yet it leaves much to be desired in style and presentation. This is unfortunate as the products themselves reflect a much higher calibre of quality.

Say what you want about the website, this Hotel Room Ad is awesome.

E85

Corn With Pump

E85 is the term for motor fuel blends of 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline.

Because E85 vehicles are flexible by nature, owning a flexible fuel vehicle is a practical way to enter the world of alternative fuels without any limitations on the vehicle’s range.

Technically speaking, converting a vehicle that was designed to operate on unleaded gasoline only to operate on another form of fuel is a violation of the federal law and the offender may be subject to significant penalties.

Each year in Iowa more than 320 million bushels of corn are processed into ethanol. Soon, Iowa’s ethanol plants will be capable of producing nearly 1 billion gallons per year.

How far can you drive on a bushel of corn?

Dance Monkeys Dance

Dance Monkeys

There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe
And each of them contains hundreds of billions of stars
In one of these galaxies
Orbiting one of these stars
Lies a little blue planet
And this planet is run by a bunch of monkeys

In March 2005 a student at UCSD created a flash animation set to a live spoken word recording of mine called Dance, Monkeys, Dance. He did this without my knowledge as part of a class project, then posted the animation online where it quickly spread. While I was flattered by the effort, I didn’t feel the animation was very representative of my words, and I had problems with many of the images used. Indignant, I resolved to create my own animation for the piece, purely for my own amusement.

Congratulations to Jolene Schultz for being one of those eighty students. Her illustration titled “racial profiling” is on page 54.

These days, she [Meredith Davis, director of North Carolina State University’s College of Design] laments, technical knowledge has been abdicated to “geeks who ride around in VWs to help you with your network problems.” It would be nice, she says, to have designers who know “what it takes to get a really, really good Web site to work.”
