A Little History Lesson

Cool to see what was the hot new products of yesteryear.. Plus because we work on macs in the lab and everyone and their two-year-old sister has an iPod it only seems fitting.. enjoy.

Animation Round 2

Ok so I'm on the verge of completing my Simple video and have started putting the basics into the complex.. As of right now I'm feeling pretty good of my status regarding classwork, as long as nothing catastrophic happens, like losing my jump drive, which reminds me i should save some stuff to my home computer. Anyways I probably won't post the Simple video until I have both done, so you don't have to scroll through tons of entries to find it..

Lite Bright

Ok so I not going to rip on how absolutely unattractive this backpack is.. so instead I'm going appreciate it for what it is, which is a reflector that reflects only during the nighttime.. now I ca see a lot of people being interested in this product because it a very safe way to enjoy nighttime activities.. but man oh man you could attract anyone with that thing, and maybe it won't be for good.

Design author Dan Saffer's article about touchscreen interfaces and what the future holds for the computer and technology itself.

Hey just found a quote regarding the one screen split image device that was posted before this, just for a little bit more info..
"The eight-inch Splitview Command display uses a clever masking system to direct light from alternate pixels in different directions, resulting in a two-at-once viewer where the other screen is completely invisible to one viewer."

Two for One

This is pretty spectacular.. Mercedes Benz is on the verge of yet another innovative luxury appliance that they're know for. This device, as you can see in the picture, allows the driver to view one image while the passenger can view something completely different. Not really sure if this is a necessity but with technology like this people will flood to it. One of those things you say wow when you first see it..
