Fuel is coming to Irvine – Extended!
| February 18, 2009 | Posted by Linsi Brownson under film |
Based on the success of the premier last weekend, Fuel has extended their showings in Los Angeles AND it will now be showing in Irvine as a limited engagement. Hooray!
This film is fantastic, which is why I have been basically stalking it (can you stalk a movie?) and harassing everyone I know to go see it. I do realize that I am currently ranking up with the Evangelicals in terms of my insistence on spreading the word but, seriously folks, it will bring to to a higher place

Green Depot opening shows that consumers are ready
| February 17, 2009 | Posted by Linsi Brownson under featured biz |
The Green Depot (Home Depot’s eco-friendly cousin) has opened its first bricks and mortar location in New York, based on the success of the internet company greendepot.com. The signs are all pointing to the fact that consumer interest is high enough to warrant it AND they are no longer satisfied by the eco-options given at normal retailers.

Green Depot plans several other locations on the East Coast, but currently no plans are in the works for a California store.
I want that!

Every day it seems that there are new products coming out that will shock and amaze. Items that are so well-designed and functional that they make us think “how did I ever live without that?” And then there are the classics…
Here is what’s on my wish list right now:
This is a biodegradeable urn (with succulents), perfect for sprucing up a small apartment or windowsill
These amazing ceramic ‘takeout’ containers are the creations of NY based Lorena Barrezueta
The Verizon Wireless Modem allows you to access the internet from pretty much anywhere. Imagine all the work that could be done from the beach…or park…oh yeah
I just love these lunch bags!
Felt ‘stone’ pillows, large and small add humor (and comfort!) to any living space
Design by the Book
| February 9, 2009 | Posted by Linsi Brownson under videos |
I just stumbled upon (using that term gives me way too much credit, since I actually just went to my new favorite blog to check out what fun stuff they have) something of a treasure amidst the chaotic information superhighway. It can be quite difficult to navigate your way to inspirational design and people when our poor brains and computers are already overloaded. So the fact that this is both genius and easy to find makes it special. Sorry, I’ll cut to the chase here.
Design by the Book is a project done by the New York Public Library and Design*Sponge (the blog). The purpose was to bring some uber-creative artists to the library and inspire some magnificent new work. It doesn’t need a whole lot more explanation than that. Just watch.
