Tetris Furniture : Video Game Inspired Shelves, Sofas and Beds

Tetris Furniture : Video Game Inspired Shelves, Sofas and Beds: "Why Tetris? Inspired by the once popular Soviet video game, this type of furniture has a number of important advantages:

It is playful: you can re-design your apartment again and again;
It looks fresh and appealing."

Give it a try. A pretty cool idea.

The Toe Mouse!

Toe Mouse! -- Engadget: "the wireless Toe Mouse concept is primarily intended to help out people with upper limb disabilities, who aren't able to navigate in the usual manner. Just to score some extra flair points, designer Liu Yi also points out it has a 'streamline model that symbolizes the motorboat surfing the internet.' So it's not just practical, it's also poetic."

Excerpts from 1980's Dynamite Magazine.

D-Y-N-A-M-I-T-E!: "

Published by Scholastic throughout the 70s & 80s (and actually up until '91 or '92), Dynamite was aimed at a slightly older audience in the middle school range. Dynamite was the brainchild of Jenette Kahn, a follow up to her first popular magazine Kids (which was written for kids, by kids and reminds me kind of a forefather of kids media movements like Nick News with Linda Ellerbee and the like), and it probably provided the framework for her eventual appointment as the publisher of DC comics in 1976 (at the astonishing Doogie Howser-esque age of 28.) The magazine was the blueprint for the other Scholastic publications that would follow (including Hot Dog! and Bananas), featuring pop culture spotlights, games, puzzles and activities for kids 8-12."

Again, like Hot Dog!, I was pretty much completely ignorant of its existence growing up which I kind of regret. Today I thought I'd share a portion of a 1984 issue that featured a National Lampoon style article on Mr. T (which imagined what it would be like if Mr. T changed his famous look…)

The Polaroid Camera Didn't Go Away. It Just Split In Half

Google shuts down music blogs without warning

Google shuts down music blogs without warning |
Music |
guardian.co.uk:

"In what critics are calling 'musicblogocide 2010', Google has deleted at least six popular music blogs that it claims violated copyright law. These sites, hosted by Google's Blogger and Blogspot services, received notices only after their sites – and years of archives – were wiped from the internet."

I have to say I was surprised by this headline. Mainly the "Shoot first, ask questions after" mentality. Read the whole article here.

Justin Timberlake to Play Napster Whiz Kid in Facebook Film

Justin Timberlake to Play Napster Whiz Kid in Facebook Film :

"Call me crazy, but I just can’t get excited about The Social Network, the film currently in development about the founding of Facebook. Yeah, I know that David Fincher is directing and Aaron Sorkin wrote the script. And I love both of them. But come on. How is this going to be anything more than a movie about some geeks on computers? So they hit upon a killer idea, strike it rich, get famous. It just doesn’t seem to lend itself to fascinating filmmaking. But hey, I’ve been wrong before."

I know by the date of this link that this is old news. But it was news to me?!
