o uno de cada 10 personas que usan celular en inglaterra (y supongo aquellos que van de vacaciones a otras partes tambien) se lastian cada ano estampandose contra paredes, ceras, coches, lagos etcetera. Asi lo demuestra este video donde (malos) actores intentan simular como es que ocurren estas colisiones potencialmente peligrosas.

Advertising to the rescue! Una campana esta probando acolchonar dichos objetos peligrosos con un suaves alhomadas de plumas de ganso para proteger a los usuarios de servicios de SMS en sus celulares:

bueno, la historia completa es de Treehugger.

Actually Kim Joons tattoos are pretty amazing, along with her site and text:

Have you ever met a person who had the shape of a dragon drawn all over the body at a public bath? If so, how did you feel, then? Most people are overcome with fright. A tattoo is a work ,which makes a wound to the skin or the subcutaneous tissues to dye and carve letters, pictures and figures, etc. Tattoos are still perceived negatively socially and are not legal. Such a tattoo gets in an gallery as lending the name ‘Visual art’.

You guessed it sucker. El mes que viene empieza construcción en el puente colgante mas grande y largo y orgazmafuturtronic que existe. Los tíos estos tienen mas dinero que los chinos y los noruegos juntos. Ademas de seguir construcción en sus isla-mundo, su ciudad eco y auto sostenible, sus isla-palmera, su edificio-mas-grande-del-mundo, tienen un poco de cambio de sobra y se gastaran $817millones de dolares en este puente que mide casi dos kilómetros. y lo terminan para el 2012. Mas o menos al mismo tiempo que empieza a funcionar el primer-en-el-mundo metro que corre en un tubo al vacío (sin aire).

Students at the University of Technology in Sydney collaborated with famed architect Chris Bosse on this pretty “digital origami” exhibit featuring 3,500 recycled cardboard “molecules.” To create this dynamic walk-through exhibit, 25 masters students in the digital architecture program got to freely explore their conceptions of Cartesian space and interpret them using many many repetitive shapes–there are actually only two different ones used in the entire display. The result? Rooms full of these geometric paper shapes stacked on top of each other and plastered on walls and ceilings, illuminated by cool neon lighting by ERCO and acoustic installations by local designer/architect Joanne Jakovich.
Bosse’s the man behind the Beijing Watercube, which Wired wrote about last April. [+info]
