You Can Make Your Walls Look Like a Metro Station’s Ceiling | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

The process for manufacturing a polycarbonate helmet shell is completely different than the process for making a composite shell. Both require technical expertise, manufacturing technology and a large capital investment, but the investment focus is different in each case.

“People are also putting in HVAC systems that can be closed off when they don’t want to use them. When it’s hot out and you’re working on your car, you can open it up and have your air conditioning. That makes it a more usable space … not just a storage space for cars,” he said.

This week the bus will be in Lot 15 again, or maybe parked by Fishbone Grill & Oyster Bar across the street from AT&T Stadium before the Cowboys take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Darwin will be on the grill. Sandy will be cooking something on the stove. Family and friends will be hanging out and strangers will come by to take some pictures.

One of the advantages of a molded polycarbonate shell is that all of the vent openings, the eye port and various assembly holes needed for mounting the face shield and other parts are completed and finished as part of the molding process.

An invitation to visit Apple’s studio is rare, and is withheld even from most employees. Inside the door, a ten-foot-long internal vestibule, in stainless steel, serves as a visual air lock. One’s view is largely restricted to the desk of Harper Alexander, an office manager, who—in a corporate culture ruled by reticence—has an unusually lively Twitter presence. (“Playing counting crows and hootie in the Apple design studio. Everyone in here who loves Euro douchepop just literally died.”)

Today’s garage is much more than a place to park the cars. Upgrades range from custom storage units and new floors to fitness rooms or man caves.

I’ve probably purchased more cases from Spigen in my many years as a smartphone enthusiast than any other brand. I’m sure you know why: the company consistently offers quality products at reasonable prices. Quite a few of those cases I’ve purchased have been clear ones, as I like to protect my phones from drops but still want to see their designs. I’m usually pretty pleased, though this Liquid Crystal for the Pixel 2 XL has one slight flaw that might prevent you from purchasing it.

The new film did not show Ive’s face, but he had narrated it, and largely directed and edited it. This work was done in Apple’s design studio, which has a core team of nineteen industrial designers whose public recognition—even as their work has become unavoidable—has rarely extended beyond mentions in patent filings and affidavits. In a company with inexhaustible marketing resources, Ive’s authorship of the film suggested fastidiousness about the seductive display of his work. But it was also an assertion of ownership that Jobs himself might have appreciated. Apple’s designers have long had an influence in the company which is barely imaginable to most designers elsewhere. This power “was anointed to them by Steve, and enforced by Steve, and has become embedded culturally,” in the description of Robert Brunner, who gave Ive his first job at Apple, and ran Apple’s design group in the first half of the nineteen-nineties, before this culture took hold. Jeremy Kuempel, an engineer who interned at the company a few years ago, and has since launched a coffee-machine startup, told me that when a designer joined a meeting at Apple it was “like being in church when the priest walks in.” Now, Brunner believes, “Jony has assumed the creative soul of the company.”

The Plasma is an average to above-average case for the most part, with the exception of the power button. Unless you’re confident that you can hit the power button right in the middle every single time, I’d stay away. It’s not like it was a great value at $39.95, anyway. If you’re really looking for a rugged case in this price range, consider the Speck Presidio Grip instead.

Cities are theaters and shape-shifters, too. I’m vaguely reminded of the old Cinecittà studios outside Rome, where Fellini worked and Mr. Anderson has made films. A stable house in the former distillery now resembles the cabinet rooms in old master museums. A tiny, Alice in Wonderland door opens onto an immense warehouse, 60 feet high and 200 feet long.
