When Benjamin Braddock learned that plastics are the future, he probably wasn’t thinking snow. But Snowflex, a polymer-based snow substitute, is being used to cover a ski resort…in Texas. Bearfire Resorts believes their Texan slopes will be ready to go by ’09, so oil moguls and Snowflex moguls can have a little get-together. Just don’t eat the Snowcones.

That question is responsible for the creation of Gatorade, whose invertor died today at the age of 80.
Which in turn made a lot of people want to be like Mike, which helped make Mike a very very rich man.
And if you notice, it looks like that Gatorade bottle is made out of glass. I can’t remember when they made the switch to plastic, but I do recall that one day my brother wanted to chill his Gatorade quickly and put in in the freezer, which he forgot about. Later in the day I was finishing my dinner and chewing some ice – where I found a chunck of glass in my mouth. No worries, no damage done, but the Gatorade froze and expanded, thus breaking the glass leaving broken pieces of glass falling into the automatic ice maker located in the freezer. Dad wasn’t happy. I think that was my first brush with death.

Sofa Portraits is a series of images showing my daughter, Isabel, as she watches television.
These portraits portray the flawed physicality of childhood and its mental and physical freedoms – but also the constraints that are applied by the adult world – the furnishings Isabel is so often pushing against, the dress determined by the educational system she is now part of, or even the attitudes to her physical self-expression as she watches television.
