Here is a recent article regarding legislation about professional licensing, specifically ASID...the American Society for Interior Designers. Some states now prohibit honest businesspeople from calling themselves interior designers and instead force them to call themselves interior decorators!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! The state (and the ASID group) apparently know best.

It has interesting parallels for our profession, and I encourage everyone to have a read. I'm hoping this will be controversial, so have at it.

Phillipe Stark has a design for a rooftop windmill. Not a new idea, btw...they are selling like hotcakes in the UK, his just has visual flair. Let's hope it works better than his juicer. Wouldn't transparent plastic turn yellow over time?
