A bit creepy, but totally fascinating. I wish the guy did an example with Nicolas Cage and John Travolta though.

Now imagine that gigantic see-through iPad app as an interface for a vending machine, and voi la! You get this. As sent to me by my friend and colleague Samantha Garfield  ♥ .

Another gem from Gizmodo as posted by Jeff Samuel. This is why I love nature and maths. Nature knows all the best solutions for efficiency, mathes lets us decode it. Aiden Dwyer's full report with hand drawn diagrams is also worth a look.

Here's proof you can make almost anything from Lego. And everything else you can make from the 3D cutter.

I present to you, the 3D cutter made from Lego as featured on Gizmodo. 

Facinating, yet terrifying talk by Kevin Slavin on what happens when algorythms are left to run on its own to shape the course of the world's finances. 

The "Cinema Correspondence" for personal audio-visual communication. 

This is just one of a series of prints from 1910, depicting visons of what life would be like "En L'An 2000" in the year 2000. As imagined by the illustrator Villemard, the series presents scenes of gentry relaxing in their drawing rooms with "Heating by Radium", and butlers delivering "Phonographic Messages" on a sliver platter. Oh, and everyting was thought to be airborne by then, cars, ships, policemen, everything. 

It's assumed that these prints accompanied "foodstuffs" of that era, like those collectable cards you get in your cerial box. I stumbled across this referenced in the blog "Paleo-Future:A look into the future that never was" which is a thorough archive of imaginings of the future dated back from 1870. It's a facinating smorgasbord of wonderlands and well worth a visit.
