From Candy Chang:

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. With help from old and new friends, Candy turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans into a giant chalkboard where residents can write on the wall and remember what is important to them. Stenciled with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______”, the wall became a space where we could learn the hopes and dreams of the people around us. Before I Die transformed a neglected space into a constructive one to help improve our neighborhood and our personal well-being. It’s a question that changed her over the last year after she lost someone she loved very much.

As in the rear-engined, proned-to-spinout, Chevrolet model that Time magazine voted one of the 50 Worst Cars of All Time?
As in the car Ralph Nader included in his book, Unsafe at Any Speed?
The Verge says this is the codename, implying they’ll launch with a different name. Let’s hope so.
*Next thing you know, Samsung will be launching a new Android tablet called the Pinto.

The recently released biography of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs isn’t the only thing that’s selling well in recent weeks. Apparently shoppers are snatching up the tech icon’s favorite eyeglasses too.
