me news

a good point, well made

these are incredible, i find it almost difficult to believe they are for real… pencil sculptures from dalton ghetti, including a complete alphabet

they remind me a bit of those rice paintings: where a name gets written in ink on a grain of rice, but then much more impressive… tip via mister ‘uwe’

dictaphone

british comedian ‘eddie izzard’ once did an absolutely hilarious sketch about the fine line between being cool & looking like a dickhead… the theory is this: you start of at the bottom of a circle (looking like a dickhead) as you become cooler you progress around the circle, gathering coolness until you go just a bit too far and… hey presto! you’re back to looking like a dickhead… brilliant

ipad = cool
hacking hardware to do stuff it shouldn’t = even cooler…
ipad phone calls = yep… it’s back to dickhead

txtbomb

…a one-hand-guerillia-tool – a machine not much bigger than a pressing iron – that generates political statements on the fly and immidiately prints them on any flat surface…

funny how an old story (2005) suddenly becomes news… like felix vorreiter’s txtbomber machine, , there are a few more images on his behance

update: i just spotted this great project via a reader’s comment on ‘bright’ who also posted the ‘txtbomb’ story…
don’t you just love the police?
