CoeLux Star Trekkish Skylight

CoeLux Star Trekkish Skylight
That is a CoeLux light not a skylight illuminating this bathroom.

Coelux Srl, an Italian company, has developed a lighting system based on nano technology the appears to perfectly imitate a skylight.

This means that one can make a dingy sub subbasement appear as a garden patio. It means that the poor gopher in the middle of the largest cube-farm can keyboard in the sun — or something like it. It means that subway stations will lose their edginess.

Actually, one consequence that did not come to mind until watching the below video was the development of “groundscrapers” i.e. office and living space that extend deep into the ground rather than high into the sky.

Tom Wolf Halts Death Penalty

Tom Wolf Halts Death Penalty
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf

Our new Gov. Tom Wolf has just declared (Feb. 13)  a moratorium on the death penalty in Pennsylvania.

Wolf has arguably overstepped his bounds under the law. The penalty is the law of the land and and a rather stringent due process is applied to those who receive it.

If Wolf reveres life so much why does he not show the same concern for the helpless in the womb as he does for the monsters who kill in cold blood?

The truth is that he doesn’t revere life. He’s merely squeamish and, of course, does not wish to offend political allies.

Tom Wolf is just another one of the filthy rich disciples of Tom Steyer who believe that only aesthetics matter with regard to morality and that the rules that apply to thee should not apply to we.
