I wasn't sure where to put this, but here goes. My two lego-crazed pals, Remi and Alyse, built this (with the help of two others) for BrickCon in Seattle this weekend.

Needless to say, I think it's geektacular!

Digging on this potential product: Glass multitouch keyboard and mouse



(I didn't include the image of the mouse as it was too big - the picture; not the mouse.)

Hmmm....that keyboard only seems useful to me if you don't know how to type without looking at the keyboard. Without any tactile feedback on my fingers I think I'd end up slowed way down.

As for the mouse we already have trackpads and I hate them, the first thing I do with laptops is seek out a regular mouse to plug in.

But I agree that they'd look cool as part of an Ikea office display, I just doubt that I'd want to actually use them.

Just think of the typos I'd make!

Dress Pant Sweatpants

I really don't understand that. First I don't actually find sweatpants to be any more comfortable unless I'm not expecting to be more mobile than watching football from the couch. But the comfort comes from being baggy and loose, not that they're made out of cheap fabric. So if they still fit like regular pants is not that advantage gone?

Two, if I'm going to have to wear a belt to keep them up, that eliminates most of what comfort advantage (when not moving) sweatpants have.

Three, when was the last time you saw dress pants with kneepads built in?

Four, KNEE PADS. Apparently these are designed for male hookers.

Pool side climbing wall.

Cool, but I suspect somewhat hard to live with. At least for me things like that are almost headache inducing when viewed from angles that are close, but not quite spot on. It's like my brain is short-circuited trying to make things line up.

Maybe it would be good in a stairway where there really isn't a "close but not quite" angle.

See, I like starting with it being off and then enjoying watching things come into alignment

I like that too, but if I were to stop right before things get into alignment and stay there, that would tend to give me a headache.

Well then, don't stop!

I agree with Alex. A good trompe l'oeil might be great at someone else's house, but can be maddening at home if it doesn't always work perfectly.

Since this is the first house we've ever owned, I got excited when we first bought it and asked Heather if we could get an Imagineer to design the living room. She shot me down. She is a wise woman.

True, but if it were in my house it is quite possible that there'd be reason to stop in places not good.

(I was thinking that stairwell was in a residential home, but thinking about it more it is probably a gallery.)

Maybe installing a trap door right at the sweet spot to get rid of undesirables...

Chromatic typewriter

Japanese company makes levitating house to prevent structural damage during an earthquake.

I realize this thread is focused on visual beauty, but I think this idea is brilliant.

Interesting idea. I'd be curious how long it can maintain that levitation. 20-30 seconds is a long time to be compressing and blowing air with not no real warning. And if effective, how quickly would it blow the electrical grid to have half the houses in a town suddenly start drawing that much power at exactly the same time.

The picture doesn't show what happens to all the utility connections from the house to the ground. I imagine they can be built with slack but they'd be torquing on the house while it floated and there's a non-zero chance that the part of the house attached to the ground will have moved when it comes back down.

I assume those are all dealt with and not explained in a 300 word article, but they're the questions that come immediately to mind.

And just proves that Carl from Up was ahead of his time.

Or when the utility itself fails and power cuts off...

...there's always the manual inflation nozzle that pops out of the wall in case of blackout, next to the emergency whistle and light.



And - Stoat wonders if it would save your house in a Tsunami?

I want the shipping containers.

Not if you nail then to your desk.

I have to say, they look like you could make a pretty good approximation using paper clips.

Dooooooo it.

I sometimes wished I knew how to weld - projects like this would be fun.

Alas, the only thing I know how to do is make sawdust

I don't weld, but I solder.

Then you could make those towers. You've got lots of free time on your own hands; go for it!

:D

I was thinking a few dabs of super-glue would do the trick.

How about I teach you to solder?

The project's in Flux right now....

I wonder if that idea would really hold up and stick together.

Somebody will get this wired

Interesting... it turns out "Blücher" is not the German word for "glue".

Well... Frau Leim just doesn't sound as funny.

Combination Mixing Bowl and Scale

huh. neat idea. almost a 'why didnt I think of that?'

I'm having trouble deciding if that is good design or just surface clever?

As I think about it, I believe I rarely want to measure all ingredients into a single bowl. With this either you are just constantly adding new stuff to the mix, or you have to weight, empty and clean to weigh another ingredient.

So even if I had this I would probably still want a standalone scale, in which case I don't need this as I accomplish the exact same thing by putting the mixing bowl on my scale.

I see your point Alex, but since it has a tare function, I can see myself adapting to adding ingredients in succession.

Yes, it would be useful for that. But I also frequently (when I cook, which isn't frequently) start by measuring out all of the ingredients for something even if they don't all get mixed together immediately.

I don't think it would be possible for more convert entirely to things that can be mixed together at the start.

Plus, I probably wouldn't have been able to weigh my luggage for our Rome trip in that like I was able to do with our food scale (a two week trip with 14 pounds of luggage involved a lot of weighing and trading). And obviously failure of imagination that it doesn't take into account luggage weighing.

It's a clever idea but I don't see it as being very practical. We use a kitchen scale a lot, easier to figure out carbs if you measure. That said my fairly cheap kitchen scale has a tare function as well. So we usually measure in whatever she's going to eat it out of. Using this would mean I'd have to wash it and whatever she ate out of.

Plus it says it's European so no ounces - then I'd have to do mental math and that just wouldn't be good.

However, if it were oven and dishwasher safe, you would have a single vessel for a meal from start to finish

And hat!

It's a pterodactyl!

How in the hell did you do that? I'm pretty sure my little purse weighs more than that! (Okay not really... maybe half that)

By being Alex.

I like the bowl since I usually only weigh one ingredient. But I also think it's no big deal to have a separate scale (mine is cheap and fits even in my kitchen) so you can continue to measure after mixing.

Looking it up it was actually 13 pounds. Virgin Atlantic's limit for carry on luggage.

It really wasn't that hard, you just have to be willing to not take everything you might possibly need with you. Rome is a modern place, they have stores and everything. So you don't need to take an umbrella just because it might rain. You don't need to take 4 pairs of shoes.

If you're willing to handwash clothes in your room at night (and by clothes that will dry quickly) you really only need a couple sets. If I recall correctly I packed two shirts, two t-shirts, three pairs of socks, one pairs of shoes, one light jacket, my camera gear (which I believe ended up being about 5 of my 13 pounds), the guide book we were using, some basic toiletries (not many, I'm more than happy with hotel shampoo, soap, and toothpaste, and my Kindle.

Plus the clothes I was wearing when we got on the plane.

And this isn't so much "being Alex" as "being Lani." But traveling with just carry-on isn't really that hard if you put some thought into it and don't bring home with you.

I just found my dream-fixer upper in LA. I've got a bad case of real estate lust, even though the place needs some real work. Helluva bargain for a short sale.

That falls right in line with my desire to have a speakeasy.

Made me think of The Safe House in Milwaukee. It is a whole bar based on the whole secret access schtick. A little on the cheesy side, but fun none-the-less.

Though they are mocking bad design, I think these posters are frelling brilliant!Here are a couple samples, spoilerd for size:

I've seen that before - many of them seem like they could be perfectly legitimate requests from customers and that the designers are just being whiny and not wanting to take input. Is "Make the logo bigger" really a horrible request?

Yes, in certain contexts, ANYTHING is a horrible request. But the way these are presented, they're saying, "Can you believe someone requested this?!" as if the very idea that anyone would ever ask such a thing is ridiculous on the face of it. And a few of them just don't strike me as such. They strike me more as, "I'm the artist, I know what's best, screw what the customer who is paying me to produce something for them wants, they just don't understand." Which is sometimes true, but something tells me a good chunk of this is people not being able to take suggestions and constructive criticism.

I agree, the make the logo bigger comment made me scratch my head. Perhaps it was more egregious in context. <shrug>

RGB Murals that Transform under Different Colored Lights
here's a sample:There are several more on the aforementioned link, as well as at www.carnovsky.com

In my experience "make the logo bigger" isn't so much a problem on the face of it as it is just so insanely common as feedback from someone who doesn't really have anything to say but feels a need to request a change.

Also, it is often a sign that the purpose of the context in which the logo exists is being forgotten. Most of the time, your logo is not the most important thing on the page/packaging/whatever but then they'll try to size it so that it overwhelms everything else.

Using my college education to show off: the effect of colors/images appearing differently under different light sources is called metamerism. I (well, my Dad) paid a lot of money to learn that word; I gotta use it when I can.

On the redesign issues, some of those are legitimate beefs and some are whiney designers. I'm dealing with a customer right now on some design issues that the company founder is giving his feedback on. He keeps wanting this one line of type smaller and smaller. We finally had to point put that they are looking at is an enlarged version of the logo and when you view it at the expected size, the copy is completely illegible (I think it was equivalent to 2 point).

Design by committee is always dangerous.

Ohhh, Ahhhh...

A fiber optic dress. Pretty.

I want that as a kilt and/or shirt!!!

I can see that being used for ComicCon Cos Play

When I was at the Nationals game last week and I realized something. All those people wearing player jerseys... They are Cos Playing.

I agree, which is why I've attended 100 baseball games and never been seen wearing a jersey. I even have this scale:

Microdouche: Wearing a team jersey at the opponent's stadium
Decidouche: Wearing a team jersey at the home stadium
Douche: Wearing a team jersey when not at a game
Kilodouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season
Megadouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season outside of the team's home territory

Seriously, I am so constantly sitting in judgment of people it is amazing I have a job.

Where on the scale is going to the stadium wearing a team jersey that's not from either team playing? (I'm looking at you Yankees fans)

Petadouche

Maxes out at Yottadouche and that would be someone wearing an Indians jersey while saying "What!? How could anybody find our logo offensive?", anybody wearing any jersey while doing a tomahawk chop, or the Redskins fans who answered a poll recently saying they thought Redskin was the appropriate way to refer to Native Americans.

And when you see one of these people you ar morally required to point at them and say in your best Yakov Smirnoff impersonation: "that's a whole yottadouche!"

I don't think wearing a baseball team's jersey or cap qualifies as Cos Playing because you're not pretending to be a character. I think that's true even if the jersey has a particular player's name or number on it. The baseball fandom is more team loyalty driven. Wearing a jersey is just like waving a flag.

Football, basketball, soccer, the thing on the ice that used to matter: they're all more superstar driven, so I can see a Cos Play element in jersey wearing with those sports. I would add that baseball is more of a regular guy sort of sport. The superstars don't come of as having super powers. I could wear a Pablo Sandoval jersey without feeling as gosh darn ridiculous--not to mention a little gay--as I would if I wore a Colin Kaepernick jersey.

I disagree!

And by the rules of the game that means I'm right. Jersey=Douche. Doesn't mean the douche isn't a very nice person.

And to pre-emptively answer Kevy's question: Either state or clothing.

What about cow?

I think I was pretty clear: Either state or clothing.

There are levels to cosplay, and I think dressing like a hero to show your support for those heroes falls well within it. The ones that get press are the full-on LARPers, but many people wearing tributes are doing it with the same feeling in mind as sports fans.

Have you looked at these guys lately? They are monsters. Highly specialized, disproportionate bodies magnified by surgery upgrades. Any one of them could take on an entire 1930's football team. They throw objects at 100 miles per hour, or are able to hit objects thrown at 100 miles per hour, with surprising regularity. Seems to me that's just as crazy as anything done in basketball, football, hockey, soccer...

Doors are old news:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umfvm8I9_oU

Other variations

Creaky floors, however, are eternal.

As a serious criticism, while visually cool it really only serves a doors purpose if that purpose is binary: completely open or completely closed. It doesn't really have any of the benefits that doors are able to provide when partially opened or partially closed.

But visually cool in a way that if you actually put it in your house would then provide laughs for whoever buys the house 25 years later.

Things like that have been going around a lot lately.

And while I admire the ingenuity of individual pieces all I end up thinking with that stuff is how it means lviing like you're changing hotel rooms every couple hours. You can never just get comfortable in your space and have to live constantly constrained in how you can move and having to be impeccably clean and organized because you can't go to bed until everything is put away and the kitchen can be unfolded into your bedroom.

Essentially it is like living in an RV that doesn't go anywhere.

The need for hidden power !

I'm a little surprised it only has two plugs. And it should come in more than one finish as well. Oh well.

There's enough room in there to add a power strip,and it's also go the USB ports, so that adds to the versatility beyond 2 plugs. But if you start adding that much stuff, kinda defeats the "hidden" aspect as you're just going to have a tangle of cords sticking out and a pile of electronics.

The question I have is where is the power cord that powers those outlets?

Get out of my mind GD!

Obviously it's hidden behind the one leg in the photo, but I do wonder if they went to the trouble to hide the cord all the way to the floor or if it just sticks out the back where you can't see it in the photo. I'm guessing it just sticks out the back.

Oh, and I like this table as well.

Cool, another table with no cord to feed it electricity! ;)
