by Graeme Wood Forget Apple and Pilot Inspektor. If you really want to give your kid a hard time growing up, just pick from the following list. 1. BATMAN Venezuelans are among the world’s most creative namers. In fact, according to their own government, they’re too creative.

Sure the New York Times' Kim Severson is live-blogging her Thanksgiving. But is she offering a live cam, Twitter updates, a Flickr photo pool, weather reports, and temperature readouts from the turkey smoker? Didn't think so. Meet Turkey Tracker....

A British designer has come up with the Wilting Flower as a way to raise awareness of home energy consumption. The device is shaped like a flower that provides a visible reminder of how much energy is being used at the moment. When low amounts of energy are being consumed, the flower stands tall and blooms open. Flick on more lights and turn on the TV or video game and the flower wilts and closes ...

We don’t often think about how we could make our toilets more efficient. Maybe that’s because we don’t think about our toilets so much in general -= one flush and the problem is gone until the next time we sit and ponder. For some reason, in North America, we haven't caught on yet to what consumers in water-starved Asia and Australia have known for decades. Why should the water we flush with be as pristine ...

This is a cool way to incorporate an Arduino into your Thanksgiving dinner. Check out this site on Thanksgiving for live video feeds and core turkey temperature graphs thanks to an Arduino. [Thanks Michael] In addition to video, flickr and twitter feeds, probably the single coolest part of the site is the live temperature graph. We have an arduino based system that measures the temperature of the bird, the air in the smoker and the ...

For the last three years, I've been a part of a team of researchers at Berkeley and USC focused on digital youth practices. This project, funded by the MacArthur Foundation, brought together 28 different researchers (led by Mimi Ito and my now deceased advisor Peter Lyman) to examine different aspects of American youth life. As many of you know, I focused on normative teen practices and the ways in which teens engaged in networked publics. ...
