realities united/ work/ rein raus

reinraus is the prototype of a standardized and serially producible mobile space extension for city apartments. The appliance can be installed on a wide variety of windows, apartments and types of dwellings. It is one-sided, hangs asymmetrically and thus can be mounted either left or right of a wall strut next to a window. Its operation is also generally independent of window types and sizes.

If you are unconcerned with the ‘why’, here is the ‘how’. Be sure to click on the details, and watch the videos

Man on trial for putting baby in freezer - to cool it’s fever..

Hard-working Britain: The Birmingham City Council revealed in October, first, that a man whose job is to paint white lines in the street made more than twice the average annual British wage, and then that a city lightbulb-changer was paid at about the same rate. And in October, London’s Daily Mail profiled Keith Jackson, 57, an engineer for the AquaTec Coatings company in Wales, whose occupation for the last 30 years has been watching paint dry (to gauge its application time). He said the job pays “fairly well” but “can be stressful.” [Reuters, 11-1-06] [Daily Mail (London), 10-5-06]

Free online file conversion

This is a pretty amazing free service. Yes, you have to give them an email address, and yes you have to wait hours for the link to your newly converted file. But if you need a file converted, whether it be audio, visual, or movie, Zamzar can do it. I converted an .flv file that I found on metacafe, and converted it to .mov. The results were not spectacular, but definitely watchable.
