Interesting concept by the folks at FWIS. The purpose of their initiative is to establish a new typographic term that defines the missing areas of a stencil typeface. I do appreciate the effort but I have to agree with Steve who commented: “The named typographic parts or details (serifs, crossbars, etc.) refer to the actual form of the letter and not the white space around it with the only exception being a counter. If white space were considered a physical thing [...]
A nice writeup here by the folks over at Mobile Marketer regarding our latest Ventana. Thanks, y'all!
the accurate mr. jones watches are the creation of designer crispin jones. what began as a limited edition design has transformed into a full range of watches that share a twisted sense of humour and refined style. the company recently launched two new designs to their collection, both of which will be produced in special editions. the first is the accurate, a simple looking watch where the hour hand reads 'remember', the minute hand you will die. this dark sense of humour carries [...]

This demo, from the Fluid Interfaces Lab of Pattie Maes at MIT, and spearheaded by PhD student Pranav Mistry, was the buzz of TED. SixthSense [pranavmistry.com] is a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. The innovative device allows to literally overlay everyday objects with real-time visualizations, in order to inform users about normally invisible information relevant to the objects in view. Imagine ingredient pie charts beamed on top of apple pies. [...]

Bicycle Built For 2,000 [bicyclebuiltfortwothousand.com] is comprised of 2,088 short voice recordings collected via Amazon's Mechanical Turk web service, assembled together to sing the song Daisy Bell. In 1962, the IBM 704 became the first computer to sing, singing the song Daisy Bell. Online workers were prompted to listen to a short sound clip, then record themselves imitating what they heard. Each person was paid $0.06 for their participation via Amazon's Mechanical Turk web service. The work is accompanied by [...]

I spent 3 days last week at the European Congress of Radiology, previewing the latest technologies for acquiring, processing, viewing, analyzing, and archiving diagnotic images of the human body. Wow! The technical and clinical innovation in this field is astounding. Science, Technology and Medicine converge to create wondrous solutions to view and analyse the inner workings of our bodies. One clearly emerging trend is that new imaging modalities and analysis tools are exponentially increasing the quantity and quality of diagnostic information available, [...]

Submitted by Justin Scheetz, here’s what he had to say: With the professional guidance from Altitude Marketing (http://www.altitudemarketing.com), Healogix just released their brand new, cutting-edge website. The website is built using the WordPress CMS with 100% valid code. It also sports some slick jQuery sliders for additional eye-candy. I too thought it was a good looking website, I like the jQuery animation instead of just going for flash. Good composition and style as well.
We’ve just put up our 5000th post on JoshSpear.com. Pretty rad, right? We think so too, so we’re celebrating by giving away a little special something — a trip to NYC. Here’s the deal: I’ll fly anyone in the continental United States to New York City for dinner somewhere ridiculously delicious (think sushi) with yours truly and some very special guests who have been featured on the site before. We’ll have a rocking dinner, I assure you. Then I’ll put you up [...]
by Kelsey Keith Adam McEwen is irreverent, witty, and whip smart (like any British artist worth his salt) and "Switch and Bait," his latest show with veteran gallerist Nicole Klagsbrun, is no exception. The exhibition, which opened last week in an auxiliary space in New York's Chelsea district, was slyly promoted with a press release detailing the process of machined graphite. "Graphite's specific properties, such as stability under high temperatures, make it essential to the steel industry, the solar electrical industry [...]

DIN Next is a typeface family inspired by the classic industrial German engineering designs, DIN 1451 Engschrift and DIN 1451 Mittelschrift. Linotype has been supplying its customers with the two DIN 1451 fonts since 1980. Recently, they have become more popular than ever, with designers regularly asking for additional weights. Linotypeâs Type Director, Akira Kobayashi, supervised the creation of the new typeface family based on these classic designs. The project began by analyzing and revising the two originals, DIN 1451 Engschrift and DIN [...]

Running Sweetcron as your lifestreaming software? SocialCubes is my contribution to the community. Don’t know what Sweetcron is? Check out my mini review from a few weeks back: Set it and forget it, Sweetcron personal lifestream application. The software really is "set it and forget it". As I continue to drop little bits of information online, http://this.isdereks.com picks up the little pieces and combines them into a single - easy to scan - view.

Ethan Imboden worked an industrial designer for firms like Ecco and frogdesign, cranking out designs for everyday products (i.e., staplers and monitors), but grew to feel that he had something more to contribute. After starting his own design firm, he went with a client to the Adult Novelty Expo and saw bad design everywhere. He founded Jimmyjane as a response to that, and set out to use form, color, materials and so on to create premium vibrators. Now he's a [...]
As I’ve been working away on WPUnlimited, I have been running into a small problem: people want to use things in ways I never intended. Of course, this is wonderful, as it gives me new ideas on the direction of which I will take the theme, but it also shows how different the mind of a programmer can be from the mind of a user. In writing code, I have been working hard in making sure that the code I use [...]

“Evolved individuals know that people who are not intuitive can be dangerous to work with, since they are guided solely by the current appearance of things that are in reality, changing. Evolved individuals seek out others who have intuition and vision - a form of intelligence that comes from cultivating the instincts, observing the direction of change, apprehending the evolution of ideas.” — Lao Tzu (via andybons)

The 400ml Book that some of my 2004 Painted Spraypaint Cans are featured in arrived yesterday. Looks great! It is pretty amazing to see what 400 artists came up with while using an empty spraypaint can as their canvas. More Info & Buy Book.
