Find new beers to drink
by Nathan Yau
Based on reviews from BeerAdvocate, Beer Viz, a visualization class project, asks you to choose a general style of beer and a beer that you like. Then it shows you beers that are similar, based on appearance, taste, aroma, and overall score. It's like a visual version of the beer recommendation system we saw last year.

Stained Glass Windows That Double As Solar Panels
by Colin Lecher
Solar Cell
Joseph Xu, Michigan Engineering Communications & Marketing
Solar panels usually get placed somewhere in the sun, but out of sight. Rooftops, deserts, mausoleums. But what if they were so beautiful we wanted to put them everywhere?
That could happen! Maybe. We've at least got the groundwork laid out, thanks to a University of Michigan research team that's making solar panels like stained-glass windows: translucent, colored panels filled with solar cells. The red and blue color you see on the American flag was formed by solar cells working at 2 percent efficiency--not the best, but if it's something you wouldn't mind sticking in your window, there's an aesthetic advantage: you can place them in more places, even if the efficiency is lower. (Standard black cells retain all the light; these let some of it pass through to show the color.) The colors, instead of being added with dyes, are formed by a layer of silicon in the cells. The size of the layer changes how the light is transmitted, altering the colors. The researchers say other cells will change colors depending on the angle they're viewed at, but these stay consistent, so can realistically be used for decoration.
You can see the idea in the video here. The researchers' work appears in a paper in Nature.

A House In The Woods William Reue Architecture
"The design for A House in the Woods was grounded in the owner’s desire to build an artful home that responded to her values of order, beauty, and environmental stewardship. The structure’s uncomplicated geometry is enriched by the boldness of its materials, resulting in a balanced composition that is both sensuous and refined. The house is a personal refuge that takes its design cues from the colors and textures of the natural landscape."

Harry Reid on the Koch Brothers' agenda
by Cory Doctorow
Senate majority leader Harry Reid gave a hell of a speech in Congress about the agenda of the billionaire Koch brothers, carbon barons who are the prime beneficiaries of Citizens United, the Supreme Court case that ruled that corporate persons had the free speech right to engage in unlimited campaign finance spending.

Two Artists Live and Work on a Giant Rotating Hamster Wheel for 10 Days

Artists Alex Schweder and Ward Shelley have constructed a giant wood hamster wheel with a 25-foot-diameter where the duo are currently living and working for 10 days until March 9 at the Boiler in Williamsburg, Brookyln. Why? Because …art! Titled In Orbit, the piece is a continuation of numerous installations where the artists live together in public spaces including Counterweight Roommmate and Stability which they refer to as “architectural performance pieces.”
For In Orbit, the rotating house is designed so that Shelley can live on the exterior of the wheel nearly 30 ft. off the floor, while Schweder lives on the inside due to a fear of heights. Through coordinated movements the pair can rotate the wheel to access beds, desks, chairs and even a kitchen-bathroom combo. You can learn more over at Gothamist and Peirogi Gallery.
