If you’re watching the World Cup, you’ve no doubt learned about the vuvuzela, a buzzing horn capable of drowning out TV announcers. Here’s how to filter the vuvuzela buzz from your World Cup broadcasts. More »

This “Icon Letter: Icon Paper + Icon Envelope” from Brigada Creativa is just a concept, alas, but it’s a nice one!

As part of its overall strategy to become a carbon neutral city by 2025, Copenhagen has become the first Scandanavian city to adopt a policy that requires green roofs for all new buildings with roof slopes of less than 30 degrees. Copenhagen presently…

occasionally people ask me how they can be more creative with technology. they are curious how i’ve made so many things, know about all sorts of random things, and what keeps me going. so i’ve tried to crystallize some of them into a set of guiding principles. so far, there’s 14 of them. enjoy!

1. don’t make anything evil. everything people love was made with love.

2. try to think of what you make as art, not a business. art inspires the heart, but business doesn’t. if it’s good, it will be worth it.

3. create in a field you’re passionate about. love music? make something related to music.

4. embrace constraints. constraints force creative thinking. tight on budget or time? awesome! don’t know a skill yet? wing it! let creativity drive you.

5. take baby steps. build a prototype first. see if that gets you excited. if it does, keep going.

6. try to take some risks. make sure you are doing at least one thing someone else says is crazy.

7. make something that you wish existed. nothing compels creativity like knowing you’ll be the only person on earth with that thing you just made.

8. stay humble. don’t let your ego let you fall in love with something too quickly. it’s probably not genius, and someone else can do it better, and that’s ok. still want to do it? good.

9. do something to make your work stand out. if you show something fresh, people will forgive some of the imperfections of your early work.

10. be a mad scientist. cross breed existing ideas. just start smashing parts of existing things together. itunes for ebay, a drum machine for a fax machine, see? 

11. take feedback. if a few people don’t get it, then lots of people won’t get it. listen to other people, and remember you always have something to learn.

12. make many different things, of various completeness. at first you’ll feel like you “never finish anything” but you’ll soon realize that this is all just practice.

13. be excited by your work. if you lose the flame, put it on the shelf and come back to it later, or just leave it forever and consider it practice!

14. have fun. if it’s not fun any more, either make it fun again, or move on to something else.

A lovely idea: Google Maps envelopes (only a concept at the moment) would let you send snail mail through an button right in gmail and print evelopes showing the route between the two addresses.

Awesome! Price-comparison engine Kayak “shows” tickets for the Sydney-LAX Oceanic 815 flight prior to the premier of Lost’s sixth and last season. Search for a one-way flight on September 22, 2010 and it will be right there, departing at 2.55pm. Love the “click to see rates” link to Expedia (doesn’t do anything, unfortunately).

We have been working at Wieden + Kennedy for the past 6 weeks. During week 1, the Hula Chair (or Hawaii Chair) was sitting in reception, so we had a go. Exercising whilst working – and then we discovered the infomercial.

Here is something that we …

Following months of Dick Tracy jokes and speculation over its launch, LG has finally confirmed that its watchphone will be available in the UK next month.

LG’s GD910: in the UK next month

The LG Touchscreen Watch Phone – also know as the GD910 – will be sold by Orange in the UK, but only for a “limited time period”.

Orange has yet to confirm how much the futuristic timepiece will cost, but it has previously been speculated that the device will cost about £1000 ($1458/€1140).

The network operator said that the “handcrafted” device will be available “at an exclusive price point” – which is undoubtedly code for ‘expensive’ – on either pay-as-you-go or SIM-only options.

See the LG watchphone demo’d for Register Hardware on video here

An integrated camera lets the GD910’s wearer make video calls over a 3G connection of up to 7.2Mb/s. The device also features voice recognition, text-to-speech functionality, Bluetooth, an MP3 player and 1.4in touch-sensitive screen. ®
