Scale of the universal
Alright what a week. I’ve been sleeping very little and working very much, which has produced a quantity of inane babbling in my head, so I hope this post doesn’t end up and the category of ‘what was he thinking!’ Universal. Universe. Univers (ha, just kidding, no more type jokes Aaron). Isn’t it interesting that the word universe can mean everything... Read More
Velosynth
A great project out of our own Portland, OR. Velosynth is just what it sounds like a synthesizer controlled by your bicycle.

Biomimicry has been an interest of mine for a while, particularly in architecture. I suppose it’s funny for an organic creature... Read More
Space Collective
While I was trolling Cargo Collective today (as I’m want to do) I ran across the profile of Superfamous Studios who developed the Cargo Collective content management system. According to their site Cargo Collective was built on the systems the team had set up to run their prior project which look really interesting. SpaceCollective.org is a ground breaking participatory... Read More
