Singapore Promotes Social Distancing Using Bright Tape

Singapore wins the award for the best method of promoting awareness in social distancing. While I’m seeing painted footprints in my neighborhood to signal how far apart people should distance distance themselves, it’s not enough. Sometimes it isn’t even working. Unfortunately, in San Francisco, it feels like people are following the motions, but not as precisely as they could be.

The large dots, pictured above, signify to customers not only where to stand, but also where to wait in line.

I love contemporary designed homes. I know I’m living in this sort of dream world, but it’s no secret – I want my future home to look like THIS. This was beautifully designed by Ehrlich Architects in Aptos, California.

When Sandra Foster was growing up, her family lost her home on Long Island. It has always been a dream of hers to create the perfect Victorian cottage. Today, she finally has!

Bruce Monroe was known for his work in sculptural light and installations. He asked listeners of BBC Wiltshire Radio to send in to him their unwanted CD’s so that he could build this magnificent piece. The response was overwhelming.

Remembering Daul Kim

Gorgeous model Daul Kim was found dead in her apartment earlier this week after hanging herself. Her death had been discovered after several messages she had posted on her blog “I Like to Fork Myself” hinted at loneliness and depression. Kim, was only 20 years old and just recently walked the runway at about ten shows this past Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Kim was raised in both Seoul, Korea and Singapore.

“South Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has had a string of high-profile suicides in recent months.”

This post makes me sad 🙁
