While I was out trawling the web, I came upon extisp.ico.us – an extremely cool little CGI app to render a tag cloud of a user’s public links in del.icio.us.
Check it out on a friend’s collection – it gives you an insight into their mind. As Aymeric, who sits beside me, said when he saw [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Researchers at the University of Texas have developed a technique to create artificial muscle fibres using Carbon Nanotubes woven into a yarn a mere 2 microns thick. Each fibre has a strength equal to 100 times that of equivalent human muscle fibres. It is a expected that there will have revolutionary consequences for the prosthetic [...]

I think it will change the way I use my camera. With this interface I will still [...]

I shall have to make sure that only the choicest links are served [...]

It is a ‘Ultra-High Molecular Weight Low Temperature Thermoplastic ‘ which is to say - a form of modelling plastic that can be made plyable at just above room temperature, and can be moulded to almost any shape, but which when it cools is hard as steel. Now [...]
This Toyota concept car seems to have adopted the Fisher-Price/Window Media Player user interface approach to ergonomics. I’m not sure whether the dashboard is a touch screen, but I love the idea of exploring the object model of the car. I also love the idea of being able to control the car using a touch [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )I’ve been rooting through my old and slightly newer photos. You can see some of the usual and not so usual suspects in compromising or not so compromising pictures with more or less amounts of alcohol in their bloodstreams.
One thing I love about Flickr (which I’ve also come to love about GMail) is the use [...]
