It is such a clever mix of retardation, cleverness, laziness and safety…

A new iPhone app called Email ‘N Walk replaces the plain white background of the e-mail application with a live view of the camera. Why? So you can write an e-mail while walking — and watch where you’re going through the iPhone’s camera lens.

A beautifully imagined redesign possibility of US currency. One can only hope that the US treasury would create something like this.

Now here’s something interesting, I set up a photo camera in my room, turned out all the lights and took a long-exposure shot of my roomba doing it’s thing for about 30 minutes. The result is a picture that shows the path of the roomba through it’s cleaning cycle, it looks like a flight map or something. It really hits every spot!

**UPDATE**

This post bares more explanation than I had given. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is a web technique used to create the presentation of a webpage. The above homer looks like an image, but it is not. It is a collection of alpha numeric characters that are positioned and colored to form homer. Don’t believe me? Search this webpage for a ( or a 6 – and see where they pop up!

I don’t know how GE did it, but it is real, and fun to play with. Using Flash and some pixie dust, GE has created a program that renders a 3D image that interacts with you in real time. Watch the video to get a taste for it, then if you have a webcam, you must go to the site and see for yourself. Nothing to download other than the piece of paper it reads.

The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out.
