New work city wall map

this is a concept for a large wall map.
points:
- when put together from 8.5 x 11 paper sheets, it forms a wall mural of nyc that is 5' x 10'. (that is about 8 sheets heigh, and 16 wide).
- one can print out different sheets according to date, and type. aka: a section of the map from how that part of nyc was in 1624, or in 2009. one can also print out that part of the city in 2009 to show mass transit or restaurants.
- the 'panels' sit over each other, in clear holders.
- one could have all the panels showing 1624 street views, or 2009 aerial views, or a mix them up.
- by having the panels be 8.5 x 11, this allows anyone to print the map at home...and therefore, the product could be sold online only....a nice version could be boxed for instore sales.
- this could be done for any large city...

Apartment for Rent T-shirts
Need Apartment to Rent T-shirts
This is a concept for a t-shirt line to help people find rental apartments, or rent what they have. In markets like NYC, it can be very challenging. Ideally, one could rent to someone they meet, or at least have something in common with. If one is out at the same bar, in the same neighborhood as someone with this t-shirt, it may just be the spark that puts things in motion.
I wonder if one wore this out, how many inquiries they'd get. ..maybe it depends more on how hot the wearer is vs. the market. ; )

Barbie's Glass Ceiling

I couldn't help but think of the term "glass ceiling' when I was at the Barbie center at F.A.O Schwartz...boys are building robots in one corner of the store, and girls are admiring high-heels in another.

NYC 1609 vs. 2009

This composite image splits Manhattan into two visions; how it looked in 1609, left; its more vertical profile today, right.

I'd love to see this blown up huge, and placed in Times Square. This is from an article in today's Times about the exploration of NYC. A quick excerpt before you get to whatever else you were doing:

Mr. Sanderson writes Mannahatta had more ecological diversity than Yellowstone, more native plant species than Yosemite, more species of birds than the Great Smoky Mountains.

“If Mannahatta existed today as it did then, it would be a national park,” Mr. Sanderson writes. “It would be the crowning glory of American national parks.”

Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then wiil you realize that money cannot be eaten.
