Love this idea. Throw the ball in the air and it takes a 360 shot when it reaches the highest point. Wouldn’t it be great to see this technology inside a football as a live stream during the game.

Jan Chipcase's cultural observations are always facinating. Its often the little details that are the most interesting. I hope there are always corners of this world that remain unconnected to the rest of the planet.
In a country where a music video is shot in a day, and a movie can be shot in two – a collation of news clips on the Japan earthquake/tsunami makes for a decent disaster movie. Yoruba version no less.
If I saw this in person I couldn't help but think I was suddenly trapped in a video game...

I'm rather intrigued by Chris Labrooy's 3D graphics. Some are fantastically realistic, while others are so obviously fake—but in such a realistic manner. As 3D rendering technologies progress, they are beginning to achieve a quality best described as "too real." Reality, similar to humanity, is perhaps best characterized by its imperfections. In contrast, Labrooy's graphics are overly perfect.
Regardless, Labrooy did a great series of typographical posters, spelling out architects' names with their buildings. Icons such as Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Osco Niemeyer, and Frank Gehry are included in the series.
“A receipt is printed out by a till that is already connected to a complex system,” explains Matt Jones, a principal at Berg. “The receipt printer is kind of this tiny print-on-demand machine, which could display a lot more and take on a lot more input.” The resulting output, in turn, could take many forms and even be personalized based on customer surveys:
We’ve added semi-useful info-visualisation of the foods ordered based on “what the till knows” -- sparklines, trends -- and low-tech personalisation of information that might be useful to regulars. Customers can select events or news stories they are interested in by ticking a check box.Receipts could potentially be used to bring awareness to social and health concerns, but Berg favors a lighter approach. “Not everyone can save the world every time," Jones says, "but you know, it’s quite good if you just make somebody smile for 15 seconds.”

Over at Daily Intel, they're taking guesses as to what's in that big blue and green Jonathan Adler bag that Anthony Weiner is bringing home. Us, we're more concerned about what should be in there. Is there any decor that says "Sorry for sending obscene photos of myself to women on the internet and then lying about it"?
Um, nope. Then again, congressman Weiner has proved recently to not have the best judgment. So here's our handy guide:
Charade Moulding Frame; Enamel Clover Frame. Both from Jonathan Adler.
Picture frames. We see the appeal. Pop in a photo of your happy family and bring back good memories, yes? Maybe. We'll leave that part up to you. Just remember this: Stick with frames with no sharp corners. In case your plan backfires. At your head.
"It Wasn't Me" Pillow; "You're Right" Pillow Both from Alexandra Ferguson.
Expression Pillows. A risky move. Anything even remotely cheeky and/or bed-related is risky. Alexandra Ferguson's "It Wasn't Me" Pillow pillow is probably the worst idea ever. But the "You're Right" version is at least appropriately groveling.
Joyce Bud Vase; Rubber Vase. Both from CB2.
Vases. Filled with flowers. This is probably the no-brainer of the bunch. But have you made sure that your vase is big enough for the amount of flowers your transgression calls for? And is it sturdy enough to be hurled across the room? Glass bud vase? No. 8" high rubber vase? Yes.
Great video and well crafted execution all about “say what you feel for those you care about”.
Kingston University graduate Tim Sanders’ Microscopic Vinyl Record Grooves project is a winner. Firstly, becuase it eases one of the mysteries in my own brain: how does a piece of plastic actually play music. And secondly, because the combination of dedicated documentation and visual know-how make the final piece absolutely worthy. In the artist’s own words, the piece shows “two full rotations of the grooves within three different genres of vinyl records. This allows the viewer to see and understand how audio is translated when pressed into a vinyl record. The patterns of grooves are explained and compared between genres of music.” Groovy.
Yesterday I showed you the future of the DJ mixpult here and today we are getting blown away by this multitouch-enabled rig by a guy called Gregory Kaufman.
It employs a gesture-based interface that lets you spin the virtual turntables and use a variety of taps and finger swipes to replicate the main functions of a regular DJ deck.
It is even big enough so 2 DJs can play at the same time.

Toru Iwatani created Pac-Man. He still carries top secret documents with him to game conferences. No, really.
Iwatani was a speaker at the recent Festival of Games. To the surprise of the conference’s host, Iwatani was carrying the original Pac-Man sketches with him.
