Playing with light.
From Adam Frank - the company behind Lumen - two projects:
Shadow
Shadow is an interactive installation that projects a disembodied, autonomous, human shadow on the ground. This apparently living shadow attempts to merge itself with the viewer's real shadow. When this occurs, the invisible figure, implied by the virtual shadow, inhabits the viewer's own personal space. Real-time 3D graphics and video sensing are used to produce this work of interactive light.
Sunray
A proposal for Grand Central Station NYC – Sunray projects an animated sun on the ceiling of Grand Central Station. The sun appears to rise over the east side of the Main Concourse and set in the west. At certain times of day, it appears as if the roof is invisible. Viewers have the momentary sensation of seeing the real sun.

Own your own town.
Just heard about this on the BBC World Service. It actually looks like a sweet little place.
• Eighty three acres of riverfront real estate which can be developed or sold separately
• Seven houses currently used as rentals
• One main house which sits on 1.6 hilltop acres with spectacular views
• Machine Shop (vacant)
• Cafe (vacant)
• Functioning Post Office which has been in operation for 136 years

Travel tip - Eos airlines 2-for-1 promotion
I can't believe I've never heard of this airline. It only flys NY to London (JFK to Stanstead). 48 passengers per flight. 21 square feet of personal space! Food, entertainment and a lie-down bed included? My god.
Promotion: 2-for-1 tickets. Between now and 4/28 (travel before 12/31/06), book with an American Express card and get a companion ticket free. Looks like they have flights as cheap as $750, so this is an incredible deal. I may have to apply for an American Express card...
