More discussion on the organic transistors enabling the flexible electronics I wrote about yesterday on the Nature Podcast this week: Download this episode of the Podcast Nature Podcast on iTunes
The New York Times is running a story about a new flexible electronics technology. Graphene is a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms (the building block, in fact, of the graphite used in pencils) and has properties that make electronics engineers swoon. … In addition to being nearly transparent and having excellent electrical characteristics, the films [...]
Yesterday IDEO posted some very well presented in-process concepts for BUG UI design opportunities. They started by presenting some Mid-Project Concept Sketches. Download the PDF. Seriously, it’s inspiring. They followed up with a post on each proposed concept: Concept 1 – e-Ink over Tactile Switches Concept 2 – Color LCD w/ Capacitive Touch Concept 3 [...]
The modular DIY gadget platform, BUG, has teamed with IDEO to redesign the BUG user interface. IDEO has agreed to BUG’s request to do the project in the open, soliciting feedback from the user community along the way. I’m not aware of a design effort of this magnitude, with a firm of this stature, happening [...]
I just found this interview between Gary Hustwit, director of the new Objectified movie, and Doug Pray, director of the new Art & Copy movie. Art & Copy is all about advertising. Objectified, as I’ve previously written, is all about product design. Hustwit and Pray find some interesting common ground in discussing what they each [...]
The “Objectified” movie I wrote about earlier this month is officially scheduled to debut at the SXSW Film Fest in March with preview screenings in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and London which will be announced later. The official announcement is here: Objectified: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit.
The first video was inspiring. Autodesk’s answer was encouraging. This one is amazing. ILoveSketch No-Cut Demo: Spacecraft from Seok-Hyung Bae on Vimeo. Bonus interview with I Love Sketch creator Seok-Hyung Bae on The Circuit/SpaceTV. More at ilovesketch.com
Since reading Bruce Nussbaum’s “‘Innovation’ is Dead” article in BusinessWeek back in December, I’ve been giving the idea some serious thought. Initially the whole notion struck me as a contrived discussion on semantics. I just re-read the article along with all of the new comments and it still seems like Bruce is just trying to [...]
Judging from the response to yesterday’s post about iConcertCal it seems I have quite a few music fans in the audience. Here is another application that my friends and I love. Simplify Media lets you access your media library from any internet-connected computer or iPhone (even works over EDGE). I know there are other apps [...]
Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone went through your iTunes library and found all the album release dates and concert dates for all the artist in there? Wouldn’t it be better if they did it for free? Instantaneously? iConcertCal does just that, which is why it’s a great idea. iConcertCal is a free iTunes plug-in [...]
