Venice Flee Market

Nope, not a typo.

Every weekend throughout the summer, there is an outdoor flea market at 1219 Abbot Kinney Blvd. (between Topo Ranch and Bulldog Realtors). However, Rabbit Kinney will be there from 5pm'ish 'till late this Friday for the monthly "First Fridays" event. AK businesses open late with snacks, goodies and live bands for all the night pedestrians to enjoy.

I will be there for this event only and then again, perhaps in August. I will be at a different event next weekend; more info to come.

Hehe... too cute

The Kyoto Box

I was taking a break from working on the RK book by lying under the wonderful Venice sun. I shaded my face with my sun hat and within minutes I felt my head baking. This heat reminded me of an article that I read a few weeks ago: The “Kyoto Box” by the inventor Jon Bohmer.

It is made from 2 cardboard boxes nested, the interior of the inner box painted black and the interior of the outer box lined with a reflective element. Once it is covered with a transparent cover, it can become hot enough to boil water and cook food. This would mean the reduction of firewood and deforestation, and less carbon emission. To top it off, it’s cheap to mass produce. It could serve the billions of people who still rely on firewood and at the same time give some relief to the environment.

Nothing like a great, simple idea.
