A video on a design competition to build the best wildlife crossing for a highway in Colorado. It's 12 min long but definitely worth a look. This can definitely apply to many parts of the world (including large parts of Canada). I especially like the multi-disciplinary nature of how the different design teams came up with a potential solution. Ecologists, engineers and landscape architects (just to name a few), came together to propose a design. More of the world's problems need this type of design collaboration.

My wife has launched a wedding photography venture called Ovyian Photography . Her goal is to bring her love of fashion and photography, to the world of weddings. I had a debate with her about whether being fashionable is only in the realm of the wealthy, but she made the point that with retailers like H&M, Topshop and Zara, fashion has become available to the masses. More importantly, she said, fashion is more than what you see on magazines...it's your personal style and money cannot buy style. Her final point was that in a wedding, the couple are technically models for the day as they will look the best they have ever looked :P I couldn't argue with that. She also started a blog by the same name on Tumblr. Check it out!
