The Perfect Combination of Talent and Beauty

Posted by: aperez, at 11:11 am on March 8, 2010

I was at a friends apartment over the weekend and I found myself more interested in her diverse array of coffee table books than our actually conversation.  She had this big oak coffee table, a comfy couch, and a stack of colorful, hardcover books- that’s all I needed and I called it a night.  I...

When the Spaceship One took off the runway to begin its 24 minutes of free flight duration into Earth’s orbit, many people didn’t believe the commercial flight would become a reality.

I Need These Things Because…

Posted by: aperez, at 11:51 am on March 2, 2010

When I’m home, you’ll find me in the kitchen.  Its my place- I graze, I cook, I eat, I hang. Naturally and because I spend almost all my free time there, I tend to want all the newest and coolest kitchen gadgets. New appliances, utensils and even kitchen decor inspire my kitchen creativity....

elbulli – part 3

Posted by: Scott Friedmann, at 7:23 pm on February 28, 2010

PART 3 of 4 Months after eating at El Bulli my thoughts and perspectives on the meal are still changing: Certain taste memories are extremely vivid and seem to get stronger, others are bizarrely still changing. It has also been fascinating to compare and contrast my experience there with other innovative...

My Belated CES 2010 Trip Report: The iPad wasn’t there.

Posted by: Richard Lee, at 2:09 pm on February 18, 2010

After visiting CES last month, my boss suggested I write a blog post on some of the most interesting things I saw there.   The problem was, though, when I thought about many of the things that were supposedly the unofficial theme of this year’s show (e.g. 3D TV, Web TV, e-Readers) my reaction was…...

I Might be a Believer in 3D Films

Posted by: Andrew Swanson, at 11:19 pm on December 20, 2009

I knew that James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ movie had a massive hype train behind it, but I just wasn’t that interested in it.  I had finally watched the entire trailer a mere day before it was due to be released in select 3D capable theatres (around 2200 total) and thought that while...

BMW Design Team Showing Off Their Range

Posted by: Andrew Swanson, at 1:24 am on December 18, 2009

Who would have thought that a computer case would be the object of so much design attention.  However, the Thermaltake Level10 is no ordinary computer case.  Rather, just about every single element of it is quite extraordinary.  Long gone are the days of simple beige cases that are a rat’s nest...

Old Media, Old Habits

Posted by: Richard Lee, at 7:00 am on December 14, 2009

Quick… our business model is broken… let’s go back to what’s worked before… a long time ago.

Media companies seem to be falling over themselves trying to prop up revenues in an ever-changing environment.  Yet, there seems to be very little innovation in how they’re going about it. For the last several weeks, much has been written about Rupert Murdoch’s plans to de-index from Google and...
