Armin is Cracking Down on Comment Crime
Like any person who runs a blog, I enjoy seeing the comment counts rise to 50, 70, 100 and more, but the truth is that no more than a quarter of those comments are worth reading. The main trend in comments is to say “this sucks” or some other alternative mode of pithy, ruthless offense. This stops now. Unless you have a substantiated and thoughtful response to why something, in your mind, “sucks” please do not comment at all. From now on all comments along the lines of “fail,” “this looks like student work,” or “the designer should be fired,” will be deleted at my own discretion without notification or explanation.

Blurry. Not blurry.
When the glasses are in the tray, the eye chart appears in focus. When the glasses are removed, it appears blurry. Concept by Fiona Carswell for an eyeglass tray using thermochromatic ink and a pressure sensor.

Unveiling the “Sixth Sense” game-changing wearable tech
This demo — from Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.
The Talking iPod Shuffle
The new iPod Shuffle is ridiculously small. (Why wouldn’t Apple let me embedd their video either?)

Lapin Lamp
I got our little EllaBella one of these Lapin (Night) Lamps and she is in love with it. She named it Sammy and kisses it good-night before bed. Too cute! I secretly want one for our bedroom… (on a sidenote: How cool is that Fisher Price camera that I found on eBay??)

Spy Box
A fantastic art project by Tim Knowles: A digital camera inside a parcel looks out through a small hole and captures images of its journey through the postal system. The Spy Box was sent from my studio to the gallery taking an image every 10 seconds recording a total of 6994 images these were then edited together to create an animated slideshow. Click here to see a small selection of the stills from the animated film.
