Science: I Can Read By Concrete!
Concrete has been (and is) often disparaged: when you hear the word, the first thing that usually comes to mind is urban sprawl or giant, lightless parking lots in the middle of apartment buildings. Not the most beautiful imagery, is what I'm saying.
I am, however, thinking of building my house out of concrete for a few reasons: 1) it's got great insulative factor; 2) it's fantastically strong and can be molded into any shape; and 3) it's gotten really, really cool.
Seriously. Not only can you see through it (sort of), but it also glows in the dark.
