An Old Data Visualization

This is the original map of the Cholera Outbreak of 1854 as drawn by John Snow. I just finished reading The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson and the way he describes John Snow as being a revolutionary individual in the science of epidemiology made me want to investigate the original London 1854 Cholera outbreak map [...]

Sarcos’ Exoskeleton

I never thought that hoverboard from Back to the Future II would ever get knocked off my #1 Christmas item spot, but I guess we all have to grow up at some point and wish for a Humanoid Robot exoskeleton.

Trolling the Archives of Maeda’s Simplicity

(via Maeda’s Simplicity Blog) I was looking around at some past posts from Maeda’s Simplicity blog and came upon this: His subsequent blog post goes through differing opinions of some top executives in the technology industry, how some are in the software-supports-hardware camp – which is foolhardy given recent developments (it’s all about the service).

Method Acting for Photography

Buenos Aires: Street Art / Arte Callejero, originally uploaded by ClixYou. I’m off to Argentina and Uruguay on Thursday, November 29, 2007. I’m super excited because I just picked up a Seagull 107 TLR – with “three element picture taking lens”.

Imitation is the Finest Form of Flattery

I was just looking over designcharts.com (because evidently Designers Are the New Rock Starsâ„¢) Really? Anyway I was looking over some of the top hits from designcharts.com and saw the work of British designer(?)/studio(?) un.titled. Some very handsome work there, especially their Sheridan & Co. site.
