    via BERG: reknit says "my mom will turn your old X into a new Y" … Matt Brown says "small scale gran-ufacture". Woollens may be more Spimey than we think.

  • Designing Devices
    "Designing Devices is a series of articles on how and why to create devices, written by me, Dan Saffer, principal designer at Kicker Studio. This is a place for essays that I hope to eventually collect into a book in 2011. Like drafts, the articles will be constantly evolving, hopefully with your feedback."

  • Nicholas Zambetti – Seriality
    "Seriality is a browser plug-in that enables electronic devices to speak directly with Web pages. As we rely more on the Web, the connection between the online world and the physical world needs to strengthen. Seriality offers a step along the way by enabling Web pages to sense and control the physical world via Javascript."

    This great concept video has been doing the rounds in the last couple of days, showing work by BERG London on an e-magazine prototype for Bonnier R&D. More on the BERG blog.

    Featuring a very nicely implemented Pie Menu, and a “rubbing” gesture to “heat up” areas of interest in the e-magazine. Great work guys!

  • Sugru is like consumer-ready modeling clay for physical hacks – Core77
    "Something like Play-Doh for industrial designers, Sugru is a modeling-clay-like silicone that can be used for everything from molding ergonomic grips to repairing leaky sneakers. Once removed from its packaging, it can be molded for a 30-minute period, and it then cures at room temperature in about 24 hours."

  • Tinker.it's Homesense
    "The Homesense Project will bring methodologies developed in virtual environments (user-generated and remixed content, communities, data visualisations, etc.) to physical infrastructures. We believe that better scenarios will emerge if users are able to adapt easy to use and flexible tools to their specific needs, social contexts and lifestyles. Documenting these scenarios and learning from them will in turn drive better product development & innovation for relevant audiences of the Homesense Project."

    I recently joined a bunch of really interesting colleagues as a member of Council, a “thinktank for the Internet of Things”. Many thanks to founder Rob van Kranenburg for inviting me.

    Council’s first event, organised in association with tinker.it and LIFT@HOME, will be happening in Brussels on 4th December:

    Are You Ready for the Internet of Things? (register via LIFT site)

    4th December 2009, 0930-2200
    IMAL, Brussels.

    Should be a great day — I’m looking forward to it. Maybe see you there.
