City planning students produced a design for the new capital city of Brazil. The work was shown and explained at a meeting at the Pan-American Union. The models, drawings, and reports from the study were then presented to the Brazilian Embassy.

Siri, change the channel! - The Daily

It looks like the iTV is a little bit closer to becoming a reality.  Like other Apple products, it will probably put a serious dent in your finances if you decide to pick one up.

But, there’s an easy way to know whether or not you can afford one.

Similar to Chris Guillebeau’s method for always having funds for traveling, you can set up a savings account specifically for new technology.  Have a certain amount automatically transferred there every week or so.  When the latest and greatest technology hits the shelves, just look to your tech account to know right away if you can afford it or not.

Artinfo: Pop-Up Populism: How the Temporary Architecture Craze is Changing Our Relationship to the Built Environment

America is fast becoming a pop-up nation. From sea to shining sea, her cities have been swept up in the frenzy for temporary architecture: Brooklyn vendors sell their wares in artfully arranged shipping containers; Dallas’s Build a Better Block group champions DIY painted bicycle routes and pop-up small businesses; architects in San Francisco are repurposing metered parking spaces into miniature parks; residents in Oakland, California rallied to create an entire pop-up neighborhood. The phenomenon has even climbed its way from grassroots origins to the agendas of local authorities: D.C.’s office of planning sprouted a Temporary Urbanism Initiative, while New York’s transportation commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan is implementing what she calls “Jane Jacobs’s revenge on Robert Moses” with her fast-acting interventions favoring pedestrians and cyclists. The temporary, so it seems, is overtaking the permanent. But how permanent is our current fascination for the temporary?
