DesignFRONT Acrylic Radio and CD Player

DesignFRONT Acrylic Radio and CD Player 07/09/2004 10:22 AM

Our pal Josh Rubin points out some new stuff from DesignFRONT (or FRONT Design -- we can't keep up with these fancy Swedes), including these two lovely pieces of electronics work that appear to be set in hard acrylic. The left one is a regular stereo receiver, and the right is a CD player that is reminiscent of the speakers we showed you a couple of months back. I bet they'd look fantastic all of a set.

Is there anything in the world better than a group of foxy Swedish ladies making beautiful electronics? That isn't Schedule 1 already?

Raise a glass for Pat

Raise a glass for Pat 05/07/2004 03:28 AM

Leonard pulled the recent under the radar stuff about Pat Tillman into one nice post. I was impressed with Tillman's resolve and unselfishness in ditching sports for the military, but after reading the SFGate article he sounds like an interesting and very human person to boot. The funeral sounded like a perfect send-off, done the way he would have wanted it, and Ted Rall is an asshole for making a dark cynical joke of the guy's ultimate sacrifice.

This is why blogs are a good thing for the existing media - due to the language used at the funeral, no media outlet in america can carry it, and probably due to our religious sensibilities, the photo from the funeral is only running on an overseas news wire. So you can only get the rest of the story thanks to the millions of eyeballs scouring the net for interesting angles on what would otherwise be one-dimensional soundbites.

Self-Cleaning Glass

Self-Cleaning Glass 06/08/2004 09:07 AM

They've been developing it for years, so it's good news to see that the Pilkington Activ glass -- the self-cleaning "eco glass" coated with a film of titanium dioxide -- is finally being put to use in commercial development. If you hadn't see it before, the Activ glass has two advantages over normal glass: the first is the photocatalytic effect that reacts to sunlight to break down organic dirt, and the second is an enhanced hydrophilic tendency of water running on the glass to form sheets instead of droplets (like Rain-X, for instance). The combination of the two effects means that every time it rains (as I hear it does a lot in UK, where the technology was developed), the outside of the windows clean themselves.

Through the Typing Glass

Through the Typing Glass 07/01/2004 12:22 PM

So you thought the upcoming enhancements to iChat AV sounded cool? Wait until you see Facetop:

Facetop superimposes transparent images of a computer's desktop over video images of the user to allow the user to look at the video and desktop at the same time.

The video shows a ghostly mirror image of the user so that when he points, his video reflection appears to touch objects on the screen. The system tracks fingertip position in the video to allow the user to control the mouse pointer.

Essentially it looks like two users are working with a pane of glass containing the desktop between them. UNC is developing this technology as part of their research into software to aid in pair programming over a distance. Pretty cool. This is possible on OSX right now, but Windows folks will apparently need to wait for Longhorn for the neccesary support.

Project Looking Glass

Project Looking Glass 06/29/2004 05:19 PM

Sun Microsystems is releasing an early version of their Project Looking Glass desktop environment into the GPL.

What if windows were translucent so that you could see the multiple windows you're working on at the same time? What if you could tack a note to yourself right on the Web page you're viewing? What if your CD or movie database became a 3D jukebox, where titles were joined with images to make finding what you want easier than ever? [...]

Sun Microsystems' latest innovations by its Advanced Software Technology Team will make these "what-ifs" a reality for the desktop of the near future. Code-named Project Looking Glass, these Java technology-based developments will bring 3D windowing capabilities to the desktop to offer a far richer user experience for work and play. But, it's not only about looks, it's about creating an engaging user experience, one that can make communications and collaboration even easier.

It's basically Sun's spin on a 3D desktop environment. I remember seeing early previews of this at a JavaOne keynote a few years ago, and everyone definitely sat up and took notice. Even at that early stage, they had video playing in real time on a 3D object. It would be awesome to see some of this tech integrated into GNOME and KDE a few versions from now.

Windows Longhorn Glass Look

Windows Longhorn Glass Look 01/07/2004 04:57 PM
The new glass look of Windows Longhorn is very pretty. This is of course a challenge to imitate in HTML. It's Internet Explorer for Windows only. CSS does most of the work, and there's a little bit of Javascript. It's slow and useless, but it's pretty! Now if I only had Mozilla's curved borders, Safari's text-shadow, Opera's speed and SVG's Gaussian blur to finish it off. ?

Are you a typoholic? It starts so innocently. One day you're mildly interested in the difference between display and text typefaces. Soon you can distinguish between teardrop and beak terminals. Suddenly you're annoying everyone in the movie theater by yelling out the names of all the fonts used in the credits. What's so scary is that you never saw it coming. You, my friend, are a type freak.

Each of the items in the themed galleries is linked to a large, high-resolution image; some beautiful examples of 2000-year-old glass include: a decorative glass hexagon, a blue glass cup from pompeii, and a striped mosaic glass cup.

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View 08/14/2004 10:24 PM
Recently Sun Microsystems released to its developers more code containing its 'Project Look Glass" technology. Project Looking Glass will offer users a 3D Desktop. Sun is hoping that this technology will give users a more exciting computing experience, and a good boost to its public image.

In order for this technology to succeed Sun needs to know what developers think of it. Without the support from other developers Project Looking Glass isn't going anywhere. So Sun has shipped early code of its latest project to developers. This is according to Craig Nicholas a technical support engineer at Sun. Apparently Project Looking Glass isn't an operating systems at all (despite earlier rumors); instead it’s a 'skin' that nearly sits on top of an operating system states Craig Nicholas. Though only 3D applications will be able to take advantage of Project Looking Glass, Sun is working hard on an application that will automatically rewrite the window management code in order for it to run in a 3D environment.

Early screenshots and videos of Project Looking Glass look very promising, but it’s unclear what Sun hopes to accomplish with it. A while ago Sun promised that it would open up its code to the open-source community, but in doing so what would Sun gain. The last time I checked Sun needed money.

I was bitching about bad technology to a senior person without a soapbox for this kind of thing, who wrote back: “That's how I feel about my life in general. I get in a car to go to work. Dumb, and filthy. I use horrible cellular technologies that drop 5 times on my way to work. I use airplanes that are 30 year old technology to fly, for God's sake, to do a keynote where most people can't see me, and to do 10 customer meetings I'd rather do with a very high quality video conference. And then I use a laptop whose UI hasn't advanced in, oh, 14 years.” I’m a bit more cheery than my correspondent about user interfaces, but is that an excellent wake-up call or what?

Back when I was promoting Dancing Barefoot, (which has gotten a really nice bounce in sales this last week -- I'm sure because of WWdN readers -- so thank you!) I talked about it a LOT on my site. Partly, that was because Barefoot-related things dominated my life at the time . . . but it was also because I've been told (and experienced firsthand) that books only sell as well as their authors promote them. This is the best way I have to promote my books on my own, so I'm going to do that in the coming months. I just want to be honest about that right now. If this sort of thing bugs you, stop reading now, and go check out the best combination since Gretzky and Kurri: They Might Be Giants and Homestar Runner. Seriously, you guys.
