Folding Plane

I've been following this story for some time, and I amazed at this development. We live in the world where everything is possible.

While I am not really interested in the "sport" aspects of this plane, I am very excited about portability (folding wings - you can store it in your garage) and usability (land/water take offs and landings).



I guess I will have to start thinking about getting my pilots license.

Muji

Muji is a design company that means "No Brand." It is build around the idea of simplicity and usability - no frills - only what you need.

THE PHILOSOPHY

What is MUJI?
MUJI is not a brand whose value rests in the frills and "extras" it adds to its products.

MUJI is simplicity - but a simplicity achieved through a complexity of thought and design.

MUJI's streamlining is the result of the careful elimination and subtraction of gratuitous features and design unrelated to function.

MUJI, the brand, is rational, and free of agenda, doctrine, and "isms." The MUJI concept derives from us continuously asking, "What is best from an individual's point of view?"

MUJI aspires to modesty and plainness, the better to adapt and shape itself to the styles, preferences, and practices of as wide a group of people as possible. This is the single most important reason people embrace MUJI.

MUJI - in its deliberate pursuit of the pure and the ordinary - achieves the extraordinary."

Caballito de totora

I have always searched for an alternative to the modern surfboard.

Here is an interesting example: Caballito de totora. I'd like to make one - one day.
