http://www.dynomighty.com/mighty-wallet/ – Mighty thin, mighty strong, mighty green! The revolution in Tyvek® wallet design began with this super thin single folded sheet of Tyvek® created by Terrence Kelleman in 2005 for Dynomighty Design. First sold at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Mighty Wallet® is quickly becoming the most popular wallet on the market because of its durability, longevity and ecological features.

How do I submit my video(s)?
Between 24 July and 31 July, just click the “Submit” tab on Life In A Day channel and upload the footage directly from your computer. The “Submit” tab will become visible on 24 July.Does my video have to be documentary? Can it be fiction?
All we’re asking is for you to document your world over the course of a single day; we expect most videos to comprise documentary footage, but if you think that your world is best captured through fictional storytelling or even animation, it is entirely up to you.Do I need permission to record other people in my video?
Yes, you do need permission to include other people in your video. If your video makes it through the first stage of our selection process, we will email you release forms which you must send back to us signed by anyone who appears in your video.Can I use music?
Please avoid the use of music within your submission.What do I need to know about recording sound?
It’s important to think about the audio on your video, as sound recording often affects the overall quality of a video. Good sound recording will probably increase the chance of your footage being chosen to be in the final film. If possible, it would be great to enhance your recording by using external microphones, in addition to those built in to most cameras.When is the Sundance Film Festival?
The 2011 Sundance Film Festival will take place from 20 January to 30 January 2011. The premiere date of Life In A Day will be announced closer to the start of the festival.

What do you make of this, kids? Looks like the fine folks who make the excellent Miro Player are up to some new tricks. I created a sample site and imported a bunch of Orlando Video and OrlandoSceneTV content.
One of my twitter friends, @ultimike, recently linked me to a story from the Orlando Sentinel about a homeowner’s association in East Orlando that won’t let someone get a light-colored roof, which could save them $100 – $150 per month on their electric bill because it won’t match the “harmony” of the rest of the neighborhood.
From Orlando homeowner battles HOA, wants roof to reflect energy-saving ethic:
She said she understands that her neighbors denied the request because no one else has a white roof.
But “until you get one white roof, you can’t have two. Until you have two, you wouldn’t have three,” Piper said. “If we did all the roofs at one time, with $100 of savings a year on each one and 100 homes, that’s $10,000 … for electricity that is just wasted now.”
