laptop pillow

This is pretty cool. It allows the heat of the laptop to circulate and from keeping your lap too hot.

HP TouchSmart

As much as I hate publicizing anything non-Mac, this one is pretty impressive and I have yet to see Steve Jobs pull this one out of his hat.

The HP TouchSmart is a desktop all-in-one PC that has a touch-screen monitor! I hate to say it, but starting at something like $1300, this is pretty cool. I'm sure there are kinks to work-out and problems to come, but I like the way this is going.

I bet Apple is just around the corner with something similar... and 10x as pretty :)

i need, i want, i gotta have.

photo of LaCie Little disk... from their website. it is the size of a makeup-compact!

I made a list of priorities, things that I am allowed to buy. This will help me with resolutions, #3, #4, #5 and #10. I am going to take Joslyn's 30 day no buy policy... and tailor it to fit my needs. I will only be able to buy the things on my list, food and essentials. This hopefully will allow me to save for the list. This should be interesting.

Here is my exception list:
1. a external hard drive... probably the LaCie little disk (I read about it in Blueprint, it seems perfect!)
2. a plane ticket to Denmark to see Addison
3. a new sewing machine... mine has hit the fan and is officially a POS.
4. iPhone... ok so i need a new phone and if you are goin to get one, go all out and get one to for your needs..... right? :/

So starting tomorrow... i will carry my list in my wallet to prevent any urges. This should be good.

motion capture furniture

First... watch the video


FRONT has used motion capture technology to create these pieces by drawing in 3d what they envision as a model. This is then translated onto a computer program like Form-Z, 3d CAD etc.... then it is sent to a Rapid Prototyping machine to create a real tactile model!! awesome. (ben showed me that one too.)
