Inspired in slow motion

Here’s some awesome slow motion videos for your inspirational pleasure to get ready for a relaxing weekend. I was watching my friend Mete’s production company Look Mama‘s show reel (you need to put it online, dudes!). They had amazing footage shot with high-speed cameras of various things exploding from speakers to doors with hinges and [...]

Dude, where’s my electric car?

As I’ve said earlier, I like gadgets, new technologies and all things related to those. I think one of the coolest gadgets lately have been electric and hybrid cars. Finally they are starting to come out looking less than a Tupperware box and more like a spaceship. Who doesn’t like spaceships? When Tesla came out [...]

Infographics as art

As computers and technologies have become more available, info-graphics went from being subway maps, charts and other two-dimensional objects more towards art. We now have cheaper and more powerful computers and open sourced, free software that removes the limits of technology to a level. As was seen earlier in my post titled “The Crisis of [...]

Wireless = Paperless = Personalized

Personalization can offer huge performance increase for education and also help to save in costs and the environment. A paperless school can teach students to use today’s technology naturally and effectively as a part of their own knowledge.

Car junkie

I love cars. I can’t help it. Since the day I got my driver’s license I’ve either had nearly unlimited access to a car or had my own. Ironically, I’ve always lived in regions with very good public transportation and I’ve really not needed a car. So, as of Friday I don’t have my car [...]

Specious meanderings

Well now, it’s been a long long time since I sat down to write something here. I suppose it would be de rigeur to fill in the blanks – though not too much obviously as this is less a letter to Granny, and more the specious cognitive meanderings of someone who would be a simpleton [...]

Gruba Goo!

The last two weeks have been filled with way too much work, but now it’s finally done. We’ve been working on a new energy drink for the last 9 months and we got it done last thursday. So, last weekend I was just creating a dent in my man-sized couch while playing Oblivion on my [...]

Natural design

I’d like to take a couple of minutes to talk about biomimetics. “?” some of you may be asking right now. For those of you not familiar with the term, this is design that has been inspired by nature – for example, how many of you knew that Velcro was inspired by the burr on [...]

Taxing Taxis

5:30 AM. We just got home and we’re cold, pissed off and tired. Why? Well, let me tell you a little story. About twelve hours before, I was preparing my wife to a surprise party for her to celebrate her birthday. It had been two weeks in the making and everything was going excellently. She [...]

Usable semantics

Continuing on my topic of symmetry, lately I’ve been forced to work working with art directors and graphic designers, who are fresh from the school bench and and when we get to the process of manufacturing things – we usually have a difference of opinion. See, my job as a techy project manager is to [...]
