Chit Chat

Chit Chat is a scruptiously delicious and whimsical project by Steven Blyth and Matty Sallin. Each seat in a restaurant is connected to a microphone and projector. The Microphone takes your voice as infomation to display words such as “blah blah , BLAH, ba blah, la la.” The size, speed, color, and words are based on your conversation with the person next to you. Basically, your voice becomes the ambient environment in the space surrounding you in a non-obtrusive manor. HOW SWEEEEET is this project. It’s like living in a comic book but living in reality at the same time. yeahyea! Watch the videos.chit chat

If you like designer stores, check out MOSS in soho NYC. MOSS is a vendor for handselected designs throughout the world and they also have a gallery space for more experimental work.

all look the same test

Are you asian, or think you can tell the difference between someone thats japaneses, chinese, korean, etc? This is a great classic site thats been up for years to test your asian awareness-ism. They give you 20 some images, and you vote for what ethnicity that person looks like. I got 13/20..not too bad…do we really all look the same to some people? There needs to be a european version of this test..take the test!

update: They have expanded the “looks like” test with extra cultural test ranging from Food, Art, Architecture, and much more in their new Exam Room. I got 15/18 on the food test 😉

Hyper Sonic Sound

Hyper Sonic Sound, HSS, are uber cool directional speakers invented by Woody Norris. What are they, well, basically, if I stuck a flashlight in front of the speaker, only people within the lights cone would be able to hear what I was broadcasting. It’s the strangest feeling. First you hear it, then you dont . The other wow factor is you cant tell which direction the sound is coming from. I don’t quite understand how it works, but I’ve had the chance to play with and have never seen or heard anything like it. When someone points the speaker at you, it sounds like there’s a speaker inside of you, playing through your lungs or sum something. It’s mad weird!!!!! but uber cooool!
There’s another invention like it called the audiospotlight done by a MIT graduate. Anyhow, I’m not sure what the future of sound is, but this is for sure one revolutionary step for it.Hyper Sonic Speakers

TED conference

The TED Conference(Technology, Entertainment, Design) is perhaps the most unbelievable gathering of mind-provoking, astonishing, inspirational, diverse, and life changing conferences I have ever been to. I could rant on for pages about it, but check out their webpage and look at the speakers list and imagine if all the attendees were just as amazzzzing. Only about 1000 people are invited each year. I’ve been extremely fortunate to work for and attend the conference since 2003. The TED conference is a mind-boggling experience taken place in Monterey CA each year.TED conference

Google Earth

Google Earth!! What more can I say. This is an Amazzzing program. I used it before Google owned it (Keyhole) and have been hooked ever since. I cant stress how much I love this program. I rarely use google maps anymore. There are a ton of great features, and the list will only get better, though, I was dissapointed that google got rid of the vectored abilities that keyhole allowed.DOWNLOAD IT, USE IT, and travel around the world within a few twitches of your finger. You’ll be amazed, hooked, and looking up everything.
