July 2005 ArchiveTuesday, July 26, 2005On Books and Blogs Yesterday, I went to a Gapers Block hosted event. "Authors' Roundtable: On Audience, Blogs & the Changing Literary Landscape" Five panelists, one moderator, lots of fantastic discussion about books and blogs and how the latter has effected the former. Go to it's own page to see a larger, more legible version and info on the panelists. posted at 6:37 PM Monday, July 25, 2005Google Gaga "Orange." What fun! I'm messing around with Montage-a-Google (via GraphicFacilitation.com). Grant Robinson* created a fab tool that combs Google images according to your search terms and builds you a snazzy photo montage!  Brandy Agerbeck. Wow, that looks like some colorful fun!  Dentata. *Other cool stuff on his site - poke around. posted at 1:00 PM Thursday, July 21, 2005These Keys Say What They MeanWhen's the last time you saw new technology and just went, "woah"? Art. Lebedev Studio has created the Optimus keyboard. Such a brilliant idea; each key is a display, so the images on each key can change according to the program you're in or the language you're typing. See? Brilliant. Questions? Here's answers. And here's even more. Qwerty is so last century. posted at 8:46 PM Wednesday, July 20, 2005The Elements Take a New ShapePhilip Stewart saw things differently. In 1951, Stewart saw Edgar Longman's spiraling depiction of the periodic table at the Science Exhibition at the Festival of Britain. The elliptical take on the elements resonanted more than the "boring version on the wall of the school lab, which had the grace of a pile of bricks" More than fifty years later, he's refined that that periodic table into the "Chemical Galaxy." Slate offers a slideshow outlining the evolution of the periodic table and how we've understood the building blocks of our universe, ending in Stewart's new Chemical Galaxy. There, told to author Jon Lackman, the Oxford ecologist explains, "The old table arose and survived because we live in a world of boxes...We're used to them. But I think the human brain is actually more comfortable with curves. The old, square forms were very convenient for old-style industry. But until a few thousand years ago, humans lived happily in a world without rectangles." posted at 1:06 PM |
