“I bought these on impulse at the Bose store because they had just come out that day and Bose has a 30 day return guarantee…and I can tell you that I will NOT be returning them. These are WELL worth the money and possibly…dare I say…underpriced compared to the competition..”

Turn Free Hand Sketches In Space Into Physical 3D Objects

  FRONT members have developed a method to materialize free hand sketches. 

Pen strokes made in the air are recorded with Motion Capture and become 3D digital files; these are then materialized through Rapid Prototyping into real pieces of furniture.

The Sketch Furniture project in Japan is made in collaboration with Barry Friedman Ltd. Tokyo Wonder Site Aoyama and Crescent.

Ken Jennings – Blog and Ebay Charity Auction

I’m a huge Jeopardy fan.  If you are too you may remember a man by the name of Ken Jennings winning 74 straight games in 2004.

“Kenneth Wayne Jennings III (born May 23, 1974) holds the record for the longest winning streak on the syndicated game show Jeopardy!, as well as other records. Jennings won 74 games before he was defeated by Nancy Zerg on his 75th appearance. His total earnings on Jeopardy! are $3,022,700 ($2,520,700 in winnings and a $2,000 consolation during his original run, and $500,000 in the Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions).”

Ken has started blogging and I am thoroughly enjoying his writing.

He is auctioning off this for charity:

“Hi, this is Ken Jennings, aka “that guy was on Jeopardy! for half of 2004.” I recently blogged about a problem unique to C-list TV fame: what does one do with a huge styrofoam sculpture of one’s head? It’s been sitting in our garage for months, and now we’re moving. Several people suggested I put it up on eBay for charity, in case anyone was interested in a one-of-a-kind piece of a TV memorabalia, that also happens to be the size of a riding lawnmower. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”

Overheard in New York + Google Maps = Overplot

Overplot
From the About page:

“I’ve been a fan of Overheard in New York for a while. At some point, it occurred to me that each quote has a pretty precise location attached to it and that it would be cool to plot all of them on a map. I eventually got motivated enough to actually do it. The result is overplot, a Google Maps API-powered visualization of all of the quotes I could get my hands on.”

This is just awesome.
