Rarely do I come across something so very awesome. I mean, much of what’s in my “Things that are AWESOME” series is awesome, but this must be the most awesome-est of all. A daft punk helmet made from scratch. Made by Harrison Krix. It took seventeen months to build, with lots of prototyping and experimentation. [...]
I feel rather sorry for my mouse now. The first two hours of my day are pretty darn clicky. Made with IOGraphica. Which is pretty nifty.
This little project is really cool and only requires a few components, namely a lilypad, six or eight LEDs, conductive thread and material and velcro for the bracelet.

Or does it just make us a little stupid? I personally have already come to terms with the fact that while I consider myself to be pretty [...]
Looking at these pictures and videos of Jie Qi’s computational pop up book made me die a little on the inside. In a good way. It just seems that much of a perfect idea to me. Blue pop-up page from Jie Qi on Vimeo. It is an awesome design on so many levels, it’s made [...]
Gave her a numb bum. Probably a bit too much information there, but oh well. The eyes were also sore after looking at all the interesting things people we’re talking about and visualizing with slides.
