My brother is creating a camera system and smartphone app that would allow skiers and snowboarders to capture video of themselves from mounted camera systems at ski resorts, and he commissioned me to do some art to represent how the system works. Here they are:

Check out his website, Off Piste Engineering.

I downloaded this while I was waiting for a friend to show up at a movie the other night and started fooling around. Just a quick, first-ever drawing on my iphone. I started thinking about radiohead while making little white lines for the word bubble so…

Oh yeah and apparently it records all the brush strokes so here’s a video:

I am not a smoker, but in Boston I was amazed by this – the video isn’t as impressive as the real thing – The “Electronic Cigarette” (link provided by the woman who was “smoking” it)- No tar, no smoke, just water vapor for appearances and system for distribution of nicotine inside it to give you your “fix.” The girl said “It’s like an inhaler.” She even got away with smoking it on the plane ride to Boston.

It’s not smelly. It even lights up at the end, looking like a surreal version of an actual cigarette. It’s actually pretty neat. I have no intention of taking up smoking because of it, but it seems like a good alternative for those who are looking to quit but still have the look and feel of smoking. We are living in the future and the future is electronic cigarettes. And turning your pockets inside out. Speaking of which, it’s probably less expensive than buying cartons of the real thing.

I bought an iPhone in Boston yesterday and I am exploring the lovely world within it. One app I discovered was the free wordpress blogging app, from which I’m typing this very post. This phone is pretty slick, I must confess. For kicks, here’s a photo I took from the roof of the hotel. (if I think of it I’ll try to post photos from the floor of the burlesque expo today. There have been some neat sights but the trip has been overwhelming and I’ve had less time to appreciate the show than I planned for.)

Saw this on Boing Boing Gadgets the other day. Traced back to this blog, that I wish was in English

As some may know, I work at Edu Comp and I am going to be showing some web design and home networking equipment off this saturday at the tech fair at the Oak Bluffs library. Come on by if you are a nerd and have free time (do those two things still go together anymore?) I may post from the event, or at least twitter it.
