These birdhouses built into the shape of CCTV cameras were spotted at the Design Biennale in Saint Etienne, France. Pretty cool idea to deter criminal activity while also saving the wildlife. via Pasta and Vinegar Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in Arts | Digg this!

Meal delivery in Tokyo above and Shanghai below. What meals are currently off-limits for home delivery and why? To what extent do changes in local delivery norms alter consumption habits? Whilst a shift from motorised transport extends the likely delivery range, how does the additional speed affect the meal's appearance? How the food tastes? The customer's level of anticipation? Fast forwarding to a distant future perfect - how will teleportation or other ways of matter-location-shifting ...

I’m on the review committee of Jason Gorman’s Software Craftsmanship mini-conference. If I can overlap it with a trip to France, I’ll definitely be there. Here’s the blurb: This is a conference about the “hard skills” that programmers and teams require to deliver high quality working software. From writing effective unit tests to managing dependencies, and from writing reliable multi-threaded code to building robust and dependable service-oriented architectures. This conference is all about the principles ...

Putting a new twist on the Star Wars theme, award-winning French photographer Cedric Delsaux displays the many popular Star Wars characters in urban settings and areas. While the characters may look real, they are actually model toys superimposed on to the shots of Parisian architecture to create the illusion of realism.

We knew this day would eventually come, but somehow we're still misting up a little -- Linux has been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch. Dev Team member planetbeing is the mastermind in charge of bringing everyone's favorite open-source OS to Apple's handhelds, and while it's a little rough around the edges (read: no touchscreen drivers, sound, or WiFi / cell radio support), it's definitely the first step on the road to hacking nirvana. ...

For the record, I still think buying an iPhone or Touch is an exceedingly silly waste of money, and I still would if this port was already fully functional. However, if you already did make that mistake, at least you'll soon be able to recover from it ;-)

IWantSandy is folding, as are a number of web companies. So is that restaurant you loved down the street. Users are outraged. Outraged! When you find a service or establishment or product that gives you joy, it's tempting to keep it to yourself. Perhaps it's uncomfortable to recommend it to a friend (after all, you might seem silly) and even more uncomfortable to recommend it to a stranger (after all, you might seem like a ...

Remember when playing Quake III at a decent resolution required a $5,000 Alienware? Man, those were the days. Now, we can't help but be thankful for a few special Nokia handsets (the N95 8GB, E90 and N82 in particular) that can all handle the game by their lonesome. In fact, the latest version of the software adds a few remarkably awesome extras. For starters, users can now take advantage of on-phone server support, meaning that ...

These vertical wall-hangable chess boards seem like a good idea. Imagine playing a game with someone over time via casual walk-by moves - There are no time clocks when you play on a Straight Up Chess Board. This is a casual game. As you pass by the Straight Up Chess board, you make your move, mark it with the "last move" marker and continue on your way. Later, your opponent passes by, makes their move ...

The decisions you make with your hard-earned money this year will have more impact than ever before. So put your money where your mouth is. Here are a few ideas to consider:1. Buy handmade items from people you like. 2. Don't buy gift cards. It's lazy and sort of dumb. 3. Don't buy from big brands or big stores that don't care about you, or that act in ways you don't applaud. There are very ...

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the Global Times, the nationalist tabloid cousin to the staid People's Daily, which has decided to get indignant about the new Guns'n'Roses album, "Chinese Democracy". It's not that the Chinese people don't have some cause to be angry. After all, the title is somewhat provocative, and the title track itself makes mention of the dreaded FLG. It also includes the following verses, which are pretty much worth getting ...

Originally posted in The Technium Speaking of screen fluency, you should check out this video of an intuitive 3D sketching pad demo. Using a large-screen touch-sensitive Wacom tablet-screen, an artist can produce 3D sketches as fast as he/she can draw. The software, called ILOVESketch, appears to be experimental, but I would imagine that the folks producing special effects would be the first to pick it up when it goes commercial.

Until I was 22 or so, my only career aspiration was novelist.Narratives are the most important thing in getting attention, interest, audiences and markets.I was never the kind of writer who planned everything out. I developed my characters, a situation, some undefined ideas, and went to it. Writing was ...
