Getting citizens to part with the built-up hoard of guns has generated campaigns such as the flame of peace in which weapons are publicly destroyed to raise awareness. Now with the Peace Art Cambodia project, some of those weapons are being diverted to a project to unleash the creativity of artists whose experience with the history of their raw materials lends a poignancy to the concept of recycling. Some pieces are practical, like the seats pictured here, but some of the sculptures speak in the unique voice of a people that has witnessed local horror and devastation against the backdrop of globalization.

Very nostalgic, for me! =D When I was a child, my granny taught me to carve an orange man. Ours was a very simple one, though. Here’s a picture of one I made a few years ago:
HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

We can all talk smack, and the following may or may not apply in the case of certain items, but the quality to dollar ratio of off-brands should have us thinking twice. We are such label whores. P.S.: I am wearing Adidas ™ shoes, Levi’s ™ jeans and a Nike ™ shirt. Typing on a Toshiba ™ computer. Hypocrisy rules. Long live America and the third world countries that make our crap!!! At least until we low them all up.
