  • Energy Star Plus: Paul Smith at Triplepundit profiles Energy Forward, a Northwest-based electronics efficiency standard that claims to exceed Energy Star standards by 30%.

  • Missouri a great state for solar? That’s right… as are Arkansas, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. A new study out of Arizona State University ranks the optimal state for solar development based on environmental and economic factors.

My ongoing obsession with Things Organized Neatly recently introduced me to what is likely to become another obsession: Jenny Odell’s satellite composites. Working entirely from imagery found using Google Earth, Odell chooses a theme like boats (above), silos, parking lots (below) or swimming pools and creates meticulously arranged mazes of those objects. She’s probably working as large as she can with the resources available to her as a student, but I would love to see a wall-sized version of some of these patterns.
