Every once in a while a break through comes and often its from the designers at Apple. The "Magic Mouse" is really novel and may end the Apple legacy of crappy mice. While achieving all the high Apple ID standards, they have raised the HCI bar by opening the door to new gestures which will [...]

Kindle Killer?

Kevin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:57:59 +0000

The Kindle is awesome but there could be a very disrupter on the horizon - Plastic Logic powered books. There is a lot to love about the Kindle, the screen is easy on the eyes, access to a huge library and the battery life. But it still lacks the tactile experience of a book. [...]

OK, I am a Sucker for the Honda FC

Well I guess I am outlier as NYT called it grotesque and Tree Hugger says “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Well, I love it as it appeals to both my obtuse styling sensibility and interest in clean advanced technologies. Debuting at the LA Auto Show, this concept [...]

New Nissan Mori Scooter Brings Apple Design to Scooters

Kevin — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:46:59 +0000

The Nissan Mori electric scooter is a bit too Fischer Price for my taste but if this independent designer’s vision is produced I think it may be the next iMac (vintage ‘99). The design incorporates state of the art technology by adjusting itself, while all mechanical and maintenance issues are managed by the on-board [...]

One development, The Lower Mill Estate, offers “distinctive, sustainable, modernist second homes, in a rural setting”.

Kevin — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:56:44 +0000

Boston Dynamics has invented the most amazing autonomous Robot that they call BigDog which walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. This robot reminds me of a cross between RoboCop and a Star Wars’ Imperial Walker. The BigDog robot runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks [...]
