For a lot of college students, the new semester is just around the corner. Last year, we created a long list of great Web 2.0 tools that we thought would be helpful for college students, but given how fast things develop on the web, we thought we would revisit this topic again this year and look at some of the most useful Web 2.0 tools that have the potential to help students do better in ...

(de)light is a project that reinterprets the concept of light as we know it. What does it mean when you can pour illuminated liquid from archetypical components like a lightbulb? When something so intangible becomes tactile and easily transferrable. The project challenges fundamental design paradigms about how we use lighting, how it’s displayed, and how it’s controlled. Imagine what our world would look like. Designer: Cristina Ferraz Rigo Texts from the designer: My first lamp ...

One of the simplest, most useful, and well executed applications on the iPhone is UrbanSpoon’s free restaurant finder. Open the application, it geolocates you, give the iPhone and shake and three Slot machine style selectors spin around and randomly choose a restaurant nearby. You can then even lock in specifics such as location, cuisine, or price range and shake to give more suggestions. However, what’s particularly neat about the application is that UrbanSpoon has been ...

People are always asking me why the number “22″ is so special to me. Before I explain why, let me ask you this: have you ever had a goal that was so burning bright that you just HAD to accomplish it? I started waterskiing when I was nine years old. My father came home with an old, yellow boat. Just like that. Out of the blue. He didn’t even discuss boat ownership with my mom. ...

Actually the unique shape serves several purposes. It fits snug in your ear, easily loops together around your neck when not in use, and somehow prevents bacterial growth which is 700 times more concentrated in regular ear buds. If it weren’t just a concept, would you buy one? Designer: Yoonsang Kim Yoonsang Kim

Making sure to flex its concepting muscles, KDDI au just announced their PLY mobile phone concept inspired by sandwiched plywood. Each section is tabbed to core functions like a dialpad, keyboard, gamepad, touchscreen, pico project, and printer! Will it ever see the light of day? Hard to say. Miniaturizing some of those proposed functions seems beyond what science and technology can achieve now but never underestimate kooky designers and crafty engineers. Designer: Hideo Kambara Hideo ...

Over the summer I had some time to spend thinking and reading about topics that sparked my interest during grad school. Part of that happened to be a new interest in history. I never really liked general world history during high school or college, but the prospect of designing things for the future made me intensely interested in the past and how we’ve come to the present. After all, design research is digging into past ...

This is a neat way to build high quality vertical search engines. (For example we could use all the URLs under the tag "astronomy" to build an astronomy vertical).Well, ...
