			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I found this image on Digg and wanted to share it here, but also wanted to give proper acknowledgement to it&#8217;s author, presumably on Flickr.&nbsp; The problem is, whoever posted it to Digg, posted a link to the actual image, not to the Flickr page where they found it.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6096/6313970257_ff5c96191d_b.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[806]"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6096/6313970257_ff5c96191d_b.jpg" alt="Old Hammer Vac" width=256 height=185 /></a></p>
<p>I have wasted more than an hour trying to locate it on the Flickr site, but none of the expected search terms seem to have located it.&nbsp; If you know, or are, the author, let me know.&nbsp; I&#8217;d like to give you proper credit and send the link to the proper page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://aliensplicer.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screenshot-at-2012-01-07-062655.png" alt="" title="" width="188" height="269" class="alignright size-full wp-image-736" />German researchers at the <em>Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO</em> in Stuttgart, claim that the human mind is geared to work best under an open sky, with passing clouds and varying illumination, that the constant glare of office lighting is sub-optimal.&nbsp; So they have come up with a &#8220;Virtual Sky&#8221; ceiling as a solution.</p>
<p>The Virtual Sky is made up of luminous LED-equipped ceiling tiles that project a low-resoltuion moving image suggestive of clouds moving across the &#8220;sky&#8221; above office workers.&nbsp; These lighting panels simulate dynamic changes in lighting in a way that is not directly obvious to the naked eye so it doesn&#8217;t distract people from their work, but fluctuates enough to promote concentration and heightened alertness.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, with nearly 300 LEDs per ceiling tile the system is still rather expensive, but they expect production prices to come down significantly &#8212; perhaps because they are now using the virtual sky to improve effecency at the factory that makes it?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I think these would be cool for use in homes, too!</p>
