The Moon Parka - A jacket made of synthetic spider silk
Remember the Japanese biomaterials company Spiber? In 2013, they presented a cocktail dress made of Qmonos (from the Japanese word kumonosu meaning ‘spider web’), their present 11-year-10-design-iterations-and-656-gene-synthesis synthetic version of stronger than steel and more flexible than nylon lightweight spider silk.
Snip from geek.com:
The end result of all that research is a method for producing artificial spider silk through a fermentation process using bioengineered microorganisms to produce the silk proteins. A real spider can only produce so much silk, but an engineered cell that does nothing but spit out silk proteins can be used to scale production up quickly.
Now they presented in collaboration with The North Face a new prototype called The Moon Parka, which is currently touring North Face stores across Japan. It’s intended to show that practical applications of spider silk are possible (cost is now 1/53,000 of what it was in 2008). Spiber aims to deliver the final product next year. Presumably only in Japan. But fingers crossed for a worldwide rollout at reasonable prices.
Watch their promo-launch video below:

Do you ever think
That if they could see us now
They would be ashamed
Of what we’ve become?
Does time ever wish
That it could slow down
Even for a moment
Too?

Tuesday Mornings...
Not a very well structured poem but I was really in the mindset to write a poem this morning. I found my “old” journal with a couple characters I made while making coffee.
Sleeping is almost non optional in the mornings Alarms fade into quiet storms Quieter than the thoughts and plans For the day ahead
Gentle hisses from a small dragon The start of a morning filled with change. The coffee begins to brew as I begin to dress.
Words being exchanged between two lovers Arrangements being made And some being cancelled. She too, begins to dress for the day ahead
A cup of coffee being shared between two A cup of wine to occupancy it. They flip through the pages of their past and reminisce on the future.
