“I’ve got it. I know what our magazine should be about!”

“What?”

“Computers!”

“Oh.”

“You don’t understand – computers are going to be the rock and roll of the 1990s!”

“You’re right; I really don’t understand that at all.”

The Times editorial page before and after Lou. It’s hard to believe the before example (1958) is not much more than 50 years old. It looks like the 19th century. Yet, the the after (1978) could have been printed yesterday.

These are the palaces of legend. In Mexican novels, and in movies, the houses of the illicitly rich and infamous are louche, luxurious affairs, with toilets made of gold, mounds of cocaine or cash lying around and furniture of thronelike proportions. In the public imagination, what might be called “narquitecture” or “narco style” is all gaudy excess — part “Real Housewives,” part “Scarface,” part conquistador.

    The idea behind The Most Expensive Picture is straightforward – anyone can pay to have their image featured on the site’s homepage, and it remains there until someone pays one dollar more to replace it. So far 56 pictures have been uploaded and once the archive reaches 300 there will be a catalogue documenting the project. It’s the brainchild of Swiss trio photographer Sebastian Stadler, graphic designer Stefan Jandl and UX designer Carlo Jörges

      Mogees is a novel way for transforming any surface into a musical instrument.

      By putting a (very cheap) contact microphone over a surface, the software can recognise different types of touch and associate them with different synthesizers.
