Segmentus clock merges digital and analogue

March 5th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments

Our favourite Russian industrial designers and keyboard maker are back with a new clock. Art. Lebedev have merged analogue and digital — the clock has hands that form the numbers like on a digital display. You need to see it moving to truly appreciate it, thankfully you can do that here.

The PlayStation 2 is 10 years old

March 4th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments

A big Happy Birthday to the PlayStation 2 that is 10 years old — in computing terms that’s several lifetimes. Whilst I never owned one myself, but my brother did and spend many an hour playing on it. It changed gaming and cemented Sony’s position in the market — the PlayStation Generation was born. It’s sold over 140 million units to date which is amazing, and it’s still going strong now. On it’s first day alone it made more than $250 million dollars in sales! It wasn’t just the hardware that sold well, the game Grand Theft Auto sold over 17 million copies. Read more

2D made 3D

February 26th, 2010 · Piet · No Comments

I really like this huge Pop-Art type sculpture. Just a shame that it’s situated on the other side of the world as I’d love to see it in the flesh (metal). The sculpture is located in The Farm, a large private art park in New Zealand. The work was created by Neil Dawson and is entitled Horizons. Perhaps, we could have something like this in the island one day…

Photoshop turns 20

February 19th, 2010 · Ric · 7 Comments

20 years and one day ago you used to be able to believe what your eyes told you — a picture never lied. Then Photoshop was born and everything changed. It’s come a long way in that time and continues to amaze with new features and ideas keeping it at the top for a long time. It has to be one of the most successful pieces of software ever. Adobe and Photoshop users are celebrating today, and I know I’ll be having a drink later too! (Any excuse). Read more
