Beriscope – Scuba dive without getting wet (much)

This looks really cool. Just cast out the camera, and then sit in the dry enjoying your view under the water. Just hope you don’t get a snag.

How to Use a Semicolon

For Laurence, who is constantly flabbergasted and annoyed but extremely patient with my punctuation; I will try to do better with semicolons from now on.

MIT’s 3D food printer

The Star Trek style food replicator took a few steps closer with this 3D food printer. Over at MIT they are developing this 3D printer that “precisely mixes foods and flavours from a number of canisters in order to produce something that’s edible”. The food is directed into heated or cooled nozzles that extrude the food which is then built up in layers to form elaborate combinations that are not available by other methods. I am waiting until one of these can print me a bacon sandwich. Plus, Earl Grey, hot.

Yuji Fujimura’s square bike – Core77

This electric bike concept by NYC based Yuji Fujimura is over on Core77. Might make riding in side winds a bit of a problem, it will act as a sail, especially over here in the windy west of England. Interesting concept though.

Triton Custom Bike by Daniel Delfour

Black, minimal, retro, sleek – what’s not to like? And there are _spokes_ on the wheels people. It doesn’t get better than this.

Yves-Behar-designed $75 One Laptop Per Child tablet

Could Alan Kay’s Dynabook finally be coming to fruition? Lets hope so. Featuring multitouch, this tablet looks really great. Next year is the year of the tablet BTW.

Messing around with Themes Today

So if you see anything weird happening, you know what it is.

From iPod to WordPress

This post has been created completely on Connor’s iPod Touch. Now my son usually doesn’t mind me using his toys, in fact he loves it when we play together. But when it comes to the iPod touch well, watch out!

Thing is, I’ve come to realise over the last year is that this thing is no toy. It’s a serious computer, and has quickly become the “third computer” in the house. I read with interest that a school in the UK has handed out iPod Touches to all of it’s pupils, and they are being widely used in lessons as well as for lesson plans etc. This thing also plays videos better than the desktop pc too!

Now what I am looking for next year is something slightly bigger but with same functionality, say an Apple Tablet? The mythical beast that never was?

Blob: eggworking

Blob by architects dmvA is a mobile shedlike atmosphere with a definite egg-like appearance. It was built as a moveable living unit but with an eye on being used too as a garden office or studio when the architects were having planning permission problems with a client.

The structure is largely wood (click on the links below to see step-by-step images of it being built) and inside is a shedworking atmosphere which really is something extraordinary.

Lots more photos of the construction at the dmvA site and also the Office for Word and Image site by Vercruysse Frederik.

Filmed at Skywalker ranch on the Canon 5DmkII conformed to 24p and the Canon 7D shooting native 24p. Timelapse done using stills.

Quite clichéd but very very beautiful and very well shot. You must watch this.
