“Now the process of 3D printing sugar has been perfected and Kyle and Liz have started their micro-design firm Sugar Lab for custom 3D printed sugar. With their background in architecture and their love for complex geometry, they took advantage of 3D printing to bring custom sugar to the genre of mega-cool cakes. “3D printing represents a paradigm shift for confections, transforming sugar into a dimensional, structural medium.” said Sugar Lab.”

Visual Purgatory: “The Shining” + “Twin Peaks” [#geekgirl] [#yay]

The Shining Meets Twin Peaks In The Red Room 237

“One day I was struck by how the iconic floor patterns from Twin Peaks and The Shining could be matched up, and how they both can be viewed as representing a sort of purgatory. So, a bunch of hours in Photoshop, and voila! Originally, I made the graphic without the characters, but in the end, decided to add them in.”

Halla Tomasdottir: Embracing the #Beauty of Balance [#geekgirl]

Via TEDWomen, Halla Tomasdottir shares her thoughts regarding her approach to surviving Iceland’s financial crisis:

“…we felt a bit overwhelmed with testosterone. And I’m not here to say that men are to blame for the crisis and what happened in my country. But I can surely tell you that in my country – like on Wall St and the city of London and elsewhere – men were at the helm of the game of the financial sector, and that kind of lack of diversity and sameness leads to disastrous problems…Doing emotional due diligence is just as important as doing financial due diligence. It is actually people that make money and lose money, not Excel spreadsheets…I am fed up with this tyranny of either/or choices in life – either it’s men, or it’s women. We need to start embracing the beauty of balance. So let’s move away from thinking about business here and philanthropy there, and lets start thinking about doing good business. That’s how we change the world. That’s the only sustainable future.”
