Kids are awesome

A range of predictions for the coming decade by the youth of today.
Some, not so optimistic.

a few of my favourites:

“Everybody will have a jet pack.”

“I don’t think there will be a flying car, which is just unreasonable.”

“I think that in 10 years there will be phones that can tell you where your friends are at that time if their phone is on.”

“We will have a trombone case that has wheels, so I don’t have to carry it all the time.”

“There may not be any blue sky.”

“I think that there will be money trees. People always say that money doesn’t grow on trees, but I think that will be wrong.”

“The air will be polluted, and we will all live in a world filled with smog that we created. Our lives will be altered immensely, and we will be forced to live indoors, away from the disgusting world that was once so beautiful.”

A Muji Xmas

Friday, October 30th, 2009

A friend of mine just sent me the most amazing Muji christmas decorations!

They are made of simple flat perspex pieces that you slot together and stand up. 

They also have these super cute pop cardboard penguins on their website! Although it is such a shame Muji in Europe is so much more expensive than in Japan – but this is probably a good thing for my wallet.

Fun times.

Cheese or Font?

An awesome new game combining two things close to my heart – cheese and fonts!

A working clock

Start time, lunch time and home time. 
I think the 5pm home time is a little optimistic though…

Tweenbots

Monday, April 13th, 2009

These are so cute!

Kacie Kinzer in New York has created tweenbots

human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal. 

I’d help it out.

Hand drawn GIFs

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Have seen a few really nice hand drawn animated GIFs lately.
This is my favourite.

 

And this one is cool, if not a little freaky.

 

 

Old school ones make me laugh a little.

1001 rules

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

This is a nice idea – 1001 rules for my unborn son.
A collection of life rules including:

352. Know your furniture. But never buy it all at once.

335. If you are good at something, never do it for free.

330. Give credit. Take Blame.

329. Don’t underestimate your fertility.

Making people smile

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I love the Improve everywhere crowd, doing strange public things that make people smile.

This is the high five escalator.

 

Others include the No pants subway ride and frozen at grand central station.

A f**king nice edit

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I never realised they swore that much in The Big Lebowski – maybe that is because my favourite swear expletive is “Fucking fuck fuck”. Desensitized much?

Sushi Experience

This is a great short film using a really simple idea to capture the feel of a proper sushi bar.

Clean up in aisle 3!

Cats are funny

Not very high brow, but when Ed sends me a cat picture it always makes my day!
