Olly robot

Olly is a web connected robot that converts notifications into smells. Created by the research team Foundry.

She is a module that turns your tweets into sweets by counting how many times you get retweeted, then releasing a tasty candy when a number you’ve set is reached.

Fund it on Kickstarter.

Carl Wiens

Carl Wiens is a consumate illustrator. Stating that he works with a lot of really amazing and interesting people, on projects ranging from magazines and books to character development for animation.

Love the retro artifcats and strong characters and objects using lines very sparingly.

Fujifilm X10

Top of the line mid-range digital camera: Fujifilm X10 has now replaced other camera – which touchscreen is no longer operative. Shucks after barely 3 years quite a bummer.

Originally got the Olympus E-PM1 (no viewfinder – no macro – no zoom – all available separately adding $$$ to costs). Check the DPR comparative review.

The brilliance of this X10 is that it has a real view finder (glass not plastic) adjustable to your eyesight – true macro and super macro and zoom capabilities. Hyper sensitive sensor.

Nice retro-looking casing – w/ plenty of manual knobs for adjustments and Leica lenses makes this the perfect point and shoot.

The Intergalactic Social Network Wars by Jayga Rayn

The battleground is the way most of us communicate every day: social media. Facebook has become gargantuan after usurping Myspace, but Twitter has grown rapidly with its celebrity endorsement and Google+ has finally given Google a real foothold in the market after many failed attempts.

Last week, Mark Zuckerberg got on stage for Facebook’s yearly F8 developers conference and proceeded to drop technological bombs like he was a rapper announcing a new mixtape or a certain hair line challenged basketball player announcing his free agency intentions.
