Hi all This' week's three is quite a grab bag of stuff, from tribes, serious privacy issues with Edward Snowden, and a decal for your macbook. So that's who I am, a grab bag. :) Enjoy Pierre Remember to hit share and or forward if you like the three things friday. 1. The Last Tribes on EarthPhotographer Jimmy Nelson spent the past three years exploring the most remote places on Earth to capture mindblowing photographs of the last surviving tribes on Earth. We do not live in a homogenised, neutral world, where everyone is the same.. we are not the same, and there lies the beauty. 2. Edward Snowden is designing a device that will check if your phone is snitching on youWhistleblower Edward Snowden has been researching with hardware hacker Andrew “Bunnie” Huang to design a device that will check on your iPhone is snitching on you. The aim of that add-on, Huang and Snowden say, is to offer a constant check on whether your phone’s radios are transmitting. Soon anonymity and privacy will be the greatest luxury. 3. Marble decalMarble is the new black. In case you haven't noticed, marble is the texture of the moment. Grab a marble decal for your macbook
Visit uniqfind.com to see the full collection. Hi all Here is this week's three things.. Science and art, a good mix I think. Have a good one. Pierre 1. Scientists invent a new blueNew colorants can be worth hundreds of millions to the labs who discover them. Professor Mas Subramanian's discovery of a new kind of blue pigment is a big deal. His blue, called YInMn (short for ytrrium, indium, and manganese) blue, is the first new inorganic blue pigment to have been discovered since cobalt blue 200 years ago. 2. A Cyborg stingray, the first Robot created from living tissueIts skeleton is made of gold and its body, designed to copy the fins of a stingray, is covered in 200 000 odd living rat heart cells. Its gold skeletal structure is overlaid with a polymer made of rat heart cells that were genetically engineered to respond to light cues, prompting the fin movements that propel the robot through water. Hi all Here is a late friday afternoon three things for you.. hope you have a brilliant weekend and an even better week next week. Keep well pierre 1. Growing Food in Mars SoilTen different species of crop including rye, radish, pea, leek, spinach, garden rocket, tomato, cress, quinoa and chives were sown with Mars or moon soil simulant and Earth potting compost in trays, and it worked.
How cool is that? Hi all Thanks for taking the time to read. And thanks for all the feedback, I'm glad you like the stuff I like ;) Here is this week's three. Enjoy. Have a good one. Pierre 1. Walking PretoriaSo glad when I saw this, haven't been on one yet.. I like to get lost on my own, being a flaneur (of sorts). In the near future, the walkscore of your property will dramatically add to its value. Walking is the new way to commute. The Louwkuls (clever name), is hosting walking tours through the gorgeous capital, Walks include prominent historical sites such as Church Square, the Union Building, the Old Jewish Synagogue and the City hall precinct but also intrigue walkers with new developments such as the TRT stations, the 012 Central Sheds and the new Lilian Ngoyi square which is still under construction. Contact the Louwkuls for more info 2. Pretty RoutersI think we can all agree, routers are a necessary evil. Usually ugly, with stupid user interfaces. FINALLY that is changing. Have no idea why this took so long. The Kisslink router sets up a link with you merely holding your device close the panel. No passwords now nothing. How cool is that? And, this week, I bought a TP link wifi range extender, I set it up without connecting it via cable to my computer, with just the press of two buttons, one on the extender and one on the other router. How great? 3. Work from home, but nicely.Since we are on routers.. The way people work is changing fast, working from home (or anywhere is more possible than ever).
But who wants to sit in a crummy converted washroom? Mimima Moralia is a modular pop-up studio/office. The naked minimalistic structure features a modular steel frame that creates an empty grid with multiple internal configurations, you can add shelves, desks, artificial lights, and curtains can be provided to meet the user’s needs. Come on SA Architects, give us our own... Hi all This is week's 3 is just about fun and good design. I have no idea why people want to create anything devoid of style. enjoy. Pierre 1. The Pantone CafeFor its second season, the Pantone Cafe returns to Monaco. Intersecting the food and design spaces, it's the world's only restaurant featuring a Pantone color-coded menu. 2. Custom Xbox ControllersMicrosoft is upping their game (pardon the pun) in personalisation when it comes to the XBOX. Recently launching the Xbox Design Lab to let you create something completely unique from over 8 million possible color combinations. Choose the colours you want, and get the controller engraved. Nice. 3. B&OThe brand new B&O Beoplay A1 portable bluetooth speaker comes with two 140W speakers and true 360 sounds, and it plays for up to 24 hours...
AND, it is really pretty. |
