Smoke and Mirrors and Light Bulbs (5)
on Yanko Design (913) permalinkWhy buy, arrange, and construct an array of 60+ fluorescent light bulbs when you can strap together three of them and let good ‘ole reflections do the rest? Resting on the floor, the pyramidal shape contains three fluorescent bulbs that, aided by mirrors, project light onto your favorite piece of designer furniture. As an aside, if you happen to close off the shape with a fourth mirror you apparently create free perpetual energy. As a ...Contribute comment

Sun for Sale? (2)

Facebook complied, but left Scrabulous up in other parts of the world, where the international rights belong to Mattel. Now, in response to a request from Mattel, Facebook has taken down the game worldwide, reports the San Jose Mercury ...Contribute comment

Pour Me a Glass of Light (7)
on Yanko Design (913) permalink(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.

Ubiquity Prototype Offers a Natural Language Web Command Line [Featured Firefox Extension] (72)

Ubiquity will look familiar to Quicksilver, Launchy, or Enso users: you invoke Ubiquity with a key combination and the text field drops down command suggestions as you type.

And they seem to be intent on revolutionizing the way we access the web. (Also, check out Adaptive Path's video for Mozilla Labs' concept web series: http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/)Install (https://people.mozilla.com/~avarma/ubiquity-0.1.xpi) and type "command-list" to get the complete list of built-in commands.Or ubiq "command-editor" and build your own commands. May be something to 'select a text, add a note and post-to-reader'!It's also possible to embed Ubiquity commands in webpages. How will the web react? Think of the possibilities for a frequent user on a massive destination like Amazon or Yahoo!They admit that the whole thing is "messy" and "cluttered" (sample: hyphenated commands) but I can firmly say that they are heading in the right direction.Hmmm...now, about the lost mojo...[http://bit.ly/3xtnj7]
