Japanese Museum’s “Co-Draw” interface design looks frustrating for adults, but a good way to keep the kids busy
Posted in: UncategorizedJapan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation has developed this “Co-Draw” exhibit, whereby people draw on a large surface with a light pen and computers begin manipulating the drawing. It’s a far cry from the functionality of the IloveSketching video we showed you yesterday, but perhaps in ten years or whenever we have interface design down to a science we’ll look back on steps like this, say they were somehow necessary and laugh.

Posted in: UncategorizedUnitasker Wednesday: Hot Potato
Posted in: UncategorizedAll Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes — we don’t want you to buy these items, we want you to laugh at their ridiculousness. Enjoy!
A game of Hot Potato plays like this: Someone walks to the kitchen and grabs a potato. This person then tosses the potato to a friend. That friend tosses the potato to someone else. The potato is thrown around a group of friends until someone drops the potato. The person who dropped the potato is “out” and the game continues until only one person is left standing. The winner is named the “Hot Potato.”
The game is simple, straightforward, and fun for young children who are learning to throw and catch. You can even clean up the potato and use it later that day in a meal. This is not a game that I thought needed any improvement … but, apparently, I was wrong:
Now you can buy a music playing, batteries required, painted toy to substitute for nature’s fun: The Hot Potato!

NYFW Backstage Beauty: Julie Haus
Posted in: UncategorizedFrom skincare to nails, backstage for the Spring 2010 Julie Haus collection was all about grunge, rocker chic. In one corner, hairstylist Oscar Blandi was creating a tousled, slept-in look while celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann was applying a smudged finish to the gunmetal shimmer. On the other side, Stila makeup artist Sarah Lucero was focusing on creating a messy yet pretty eye, and Bethany Wojtech for Arcona was going over how the all natural skin care line is perfect for the models’ skin during fashion week as they go from show to show (something that I had always wondered!). From the skin to the hair to the makeup to the nails, we spoke to all the experts. Click here to find out exactly how to replicate the looks! |

Posted in: Uncategorized“Architecture falls between art and airports. It’s pragmatic—it helps you get from point A to point B. But it also works as art. It makes you think twice. It inspires you. It brings you back to yourself.”
