Magnetic Motors

An Australian company producing magnetic motor electric generators. Free energy, clean energy. With only 20% energy used to gain the energy outcome. That means a saving of 80% on bills & greenhouse emissions. As this video is from about two years ago one can only assume that they have come across economic hurdles from the government.

Below a Magnetic hybrid motorbike from Japan. Another invention to elleviate tax & government charges. All electric bikes in Australia are free from registration & even the need for a license.

Lazymills. . . possibly one of the strongest reasons i started up on Deviant Art.
Inspired by her straight up approach & kick ass art!
i have followed her work from the point i found it. Animation, comics & cool pimped out characters are her game & it's one she plays well. I use one of her characters on a twitter account which i love & appreciate.

Andy's cuprocking has given streetart & work for people to see from Surry Hills to Bondi. An artist that is always up to something & creating from what is.
Just a couple of pic's from the entrance of the Ivy where Andy Uprock had his display.

SMC[3]

I caught up with SMC[3] a while ago to find out what got him into street art & graffiti. As we chatted he told me that he has always enjoyed drawing & creating cartoon characters for friends & fun.
It wasn't until just over three years ago that he actually picked up a can & began creating his fantastic characters, that you can see around the Inner West, CBD, May Lane, SugarMill aswell as his wheatpaste characters.

Photography is also an art form Simon takes to the next level, with lighting & unglossed models making his pictures art of interest.

Largest toxic dump of it's type in Botany

For about the past five years i have been aware of a toxic waste dump in the suburb of Botany, Sydney.

The dump being reportedly three times over it's maximum limits.

I also viewed a very eye opening documentary about the issue of waste that the COMMUNITY disposal comity faced. These people were mostly made up of local residents that live in the area & have grave concerns about how it actually will be disposed of.

Resent research revealed that the toxic dump is the largest of it's kind in the entire world.

Holding a poison that has been band in this country since the late eighties & America band it even earlier, it's name is Hexachlorobenzene.

Desposing of the dangerous chemical is proving troublesome, as the Australian government has looked at swapping it for some foreign debt that another country may have. But then the issue lies. . what will they do with it, sell it on to a 3rd world country to possible insinerate the toxic waste or just dump it into the water.

I'll be looking into how the government will treat the waste, one method will leave the dangerous chemicals like black ashfalt, that will be ground up to use in roads.

The portion below is from 'Sydney indy media'

I wonder what Denmark can do with this stuff that cant be done safely in Australia I have a suspicion that once it is moved from Australia to Denmark it may then be disappeared to the third world where it may go on to pollute our whole planet. ICI / Orica has been responsible for polluting the ground water at Botany. Water incidentally that local property owners were using to water their veggie gardens. The whole process of producing a product should include dealing safely with the waste products of the that manufacturing process. There are photographs of ICI back in the seventies dumping drums of waste off barges into the coastal waters. We now understand the treachery of such irresponsible actions by corporate giants, but we are not really that keen to address the issues at the grass roots level.

Programmable Matter

Shape shifting material that can transform in real time. The possibility of making a 3D prototype of anything on the spot, that can ulter colour & shape while handling it.
Programmable matter is still in early development by Intel but looks set to change many industries.

A place for local & international street artists

On Sydneys city fringe, there's a small established suburb, an industrial area that is a rich haven for creativity.
St Peters is thriving in the music, art & dancing arena locally & internationally. One local home for graffiti &/or street artists & there work is the May Lane project. This public street art gallery has been lively for a good six years now & in this time a multitude of display's & styles have been shown on the walls of May Lane. The local art space is the innovation of Tugi Balog
Creating a legal place for graffiti artists to practice there skill without worry of a chase & for locals in the area & passes by to admire there work.

Break Down with Style. Kate Shearer from Syd Art 09

Kate Shearer an artist with some innovative ideas for art & catching attention. Recently showed her works at Sydney Art '09. A lovely artist with a kind outlook on life. Check her work out at the link above.

Amos Duggan from Syd Art 09

Amos Duggan is defently one of the most memorable artists with his boldly coloured infused characters that create a very vibrant but yet pained feeling, with dimenson in there meaning these deer-man characters are defently something you should check out. A visual designer you can check out his site at the link above.

Art Sydney '09

Moore Park resently was a buzz with the energy of art. On my Sunday visit to Art Sydney, of the 3 day event 22 - 25 Oct. It was a fairly vast space full of some or quite a few of Australia's best artists. Several i was lucky enough to talk to & photograph them with there art.
A very full day with to much to see. As a lover & doer of art i would like to share the wonderful & diverse culture we have in Oz with everyone from everywhere that loves art.

Has the Legal System lost it's marbels

I have watched this video several times now & want to see if anyone else is
thinking close to what i am. . .



Is our sense of justice grossly warped to actually think that kid is in
an anywhere near fair situation. Is our legal system not paid to be
impartial & not to be swade by an angry town?
Do you think the result is out of line with the crimes that really do go on?

Please if you have an opinion, voice it. .

Peace to ya
