Origami’s Artistic Nemesis

Apr, 07. 2009 by Matt .

During my day to day browsing, I’ve come across an artist a few times now, Jen Stark. All I have to say is holy crap! I haven’t been this excited about art in a long time. She is SICK! What does she do? The short version — she’s a sculptor. But not just any sculptor, she takes a knife to coloured paper

GM Joins Segway’s Effort in Futurism

Apr, 07. 2009 by Matt .

With the New York Auto Show just around the corner, GM has announced in a press release that it will be debuting a joint venture vehicle designed with Segway. Many of you may remember the Segway’s 15 minutes of fame a few years ago when the world went crazy for the 2-wheeled phenom. Young-at-heart executives across the globe began greeting clients on their bi-wheel chariots.

An Apple a Day Won’t Keep the Competitors Away

In June 2007, we saw the rise of the mighty iPhone; you know a phone is pure gold when you sell 270,000 units within the first 30 hours of launch. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Apple decided to add 3G, a few new features, and a sleek new design, all at a solid price point. More than 5.2 million units sold later, Apple is near the top of the mobile phone market, edging out a longstanding leader — Blackberry.

But their days are numbered, the touchscreen era has begun.

Metric’s Fantasies

Apr, 01. 2009 by Matt .

Metric is one of my favourite indie bands out there, they’ve just got this awesome flow. Needless to say when I caught wind of the upcoming release I searched high and low for the album. My first thoughts after hearing about the album were immediately, “Wow, I hope this doesn’t suck as much as her solo project.” After all, it has been quite some time since the band last hit fans with their album in 2005. A lot of things can happen within a four year span. I mean, Emily’s Haines and the Soft Skeleton were featured on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. If that isn’t reason to ditch a band and chase the dream, I don’t know what is.

One Step Closer to the Galaxy Far Far Away

Supposedly in March 2008, Apple filed a patent application for a “realistic holographic 3D display experience.” The iCom is reportedly “a music player, a digital picture frame, a weather station — and a holophone.” Cool.
