Can Light - SARAH PEASE DESIGN

Can Light - SARAH PEASE DESIGN:

'via Blog this'

I really want to like these, I really do. There is a feeling of vintage style that screams to be embraced by fashion stores like Levi and AllSaints, but in my eye it fails. They are not modified enough to produce a cool different between the old functional item and the (desired) enchanting style. But the greatest failing here is that damn hook at the back. Maybe fitting a bracket to the back of the lamp would create more of an illusion, a floating object on the wall.

Close, but no magic,.

Should Google Ban Hitler?

Is it ethical for Google to promote the book that drove the Holocaust under their "read through books they banned"  promotion? https ://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=TXcwKYcMFyoC On the one hand, it is a very important book in world history, but while henry millers The Tropic of Capricorn is sexually explicit, or is after all entertainment after our basic needs. How would this go down in waterstones if the same selection of banned books were brought together? Does the online shop make us feel more at ease and less easily offended? So many questions, so little time to blog. Update coming soon.

Where Smart Technology Needs to Go

The Smart Car Is Needed!   There is this one thing that has been on my mind for some time now, but I have always assumed that it was coming, maybe at the next apple Keynote or Google IO... But as the last few years have rolled over no word has come. So I have to ask myself, where is the smart car? Yes, smart car stereos do exist, kind of.. One example from a quick Google search is the Kenwood  DNN990HD , which while does bring some interesting features over and above the traditional DAB/ FM/ CD/ tape deck (yes, there are still some out there), does not exactly bowl us over. But more to the point, should we really be labelling things as smart? What would a smart car be like? Before we go any further, lets just think about what happens in the car? As the driver you are doing that manual thing with pedals, a steering wheel and a gear stick, but all kinds of information are coming at you as well! What is your speed, revs, acceleration and braking? All of these impact upon ...

U-Turn in windows 8's modern UI

Remember when windows 8 came out? We were filled with videos, images and adverts focusing squarely on the Modern UI of windows 8. Well, now it turns out Microsoft has stopped focusing on Modern UI to sell is new Os, and started saying "hey, remember how much you love the desktop, we still have it!" In Depth: Microsoft: emphasis on Start Screen shackled Windows 8 http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/microsoft-we-shouldn-t-have-lost-touch-with-desktop-for-windows-8-1144623?attr=all&src=rss It's something I have been musing for some time. I installed Windows 8 the week or was released and so far haven't been able to quite get my head round it. Not that it's hard to use (although it does have some quirks) but just what is it? When I'm in desktop mode, it's the old windows experience more or less. Jumping into Modern UI, it's a whole new experience, which to be honest I really like. Internet Explorer 10 in this mode really is something special, wit...
