We’ve been wanting to watch “901: after 45 years of working” for some time now, but not really wanting to buy the dvd. Fast forward to today and we actually found the entire video online, directly from Eames Demetrios’s site, DAS Film Fest.

We were mostly excited to watch this video because it is one of, if not the most detailed view and glimpse into the office/lives of Charles and Ray Eames. It was surprising how sad we actually got watching it, seeing all of their treasures, works and essentially their lives being packed away and sent off to various museums and libraries. The significance of the work that was done in 901 Washington Blvd is very transparent in the film.

Ok, so go watch the video, seriously. It will be an awesome weekend treat. :)

Yesterday while being distracted by various humorous and interesting tweets, Deedee914 posted a link to the absolutely amazing new food diary/blog, “My Cooking Diary” by Sharon Hwang. Not only are the recipes scrumptious, but the photography and site design is so simple, so clean, so inspiring. Sharon’s boyfriend Mike Matas took all the photos and put together this awesome little trailer for Sharon’s new site. You should also make sure and visit Mike’s site, as his videos, stop-motions and photos are out of this world, sometimes literally.

For all you science nerds, wood lovers, and modernists…check out the “Save Food From The Fridge” by Jihyun Ryou. A Master Thesis done on food preservation and how our relationship with food has changed the way we treat it, leaving us to use modern appliances for preservation rather than basic concepts.

Using simple “knowledge shelves” that are placed outside the fridge, Jihyun Ryou feels we can redefine our relationship with food, waste less and preserve energy. Pretty kick ass huh?
