Justin Gignac is a New York City based artist and entrepreneur. He began selling garbage in 2001 after a co-worker challenged the importance of package design. To prove them wrong, he set out to find something that no one in their right mind would ever buy, and package it to sell. Looking around the dirty streets of Times Square, garbage was the perfect answer. Eleven years later, over 1,300 NYC Garbage cubes have been sold and now reside in 29 countries around the world.

Helvetica almost makes it too easy, but wow.

The Google Fiber-enabled home is Feld’s latest project to help build the city’s startup community through a residency program that will bring five budding entrepreneurs to live and work in the house rent-free for a year. Applications can be submitted online through March 22 and will be judged on their innovative potential by Feld himself, Scott Case of the Startup America Partnership, David Cohen of TechStars and Lesa Mitchell of the Kauffman Foundation.

fastcompany: Here’s why Samsung, #17 on our 2013 Most Innovative Companies list, should be lauded not loathed.  Samsung built a user interface similar to that of the iPhone but gained its real edge by improving one of Samsung’s core strengths: producing big, beautiful screens. In fact, beginning with the company’s entry into the semiconductor business, Samsung has cultivated an ability to quickly study, imitate, and, where appropriate, improve upon competitors’ products. In an age when information flows freely and contract manufacturers can pump out millions of new devices in a matter of weeks, that skill may be the most underrated in business. [Image: Stephen Doyle] Nimble flexibility and rapid adaptability are wicked-powerful survival traits.
