Ever wondered how a bowling alley works? At Powerzone Lovers Bowling in Amsterdam it’s all visible from the street. The walls are transparent so the white lanes, UV-lights and colourfull LED lights spread a futuristic glow to its surroundings. There is a laser-game area as well.
This coming August 25th, VVV Texel (tourist information) will send the first Message in a bottle 2.0: a buoy will be thrown in the water and will be tracked through GPS. Everybody can send messages to this buoy through social media. The finder will receive all the messages and will win several prices, including a full-serviced trip to the Dutch island Texel. Where this buoy will be dropped, is still a secret and where it will reach the shore, is totally depending on the weather conditions. A nice example of cooperation.
LYFE Kitchen is an organic fast-food alternative with great ambitions. The founders of LYFE, an acronym for ‘love your food everyday’, are former McDonald’s employees and want to open hundreds of restaurants in the next five years. McDonald’s former chief operating officer Mike Roberts and former chief of communications officer Mike Donahue opened a prototype restaurant on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto. They improve the cooking process and the logistics to save every second possible. When customers order they receive a coaster with a RFID tag. By this tag a runner can locate the table with the order. The restaurant offers organic brussel sprouts as alternative for french fries. Watch the video for about the kitchen of LYFE.
