** The Curious Corner #12
There we go people! This is the 12th edition of the Curious Corner and that marks a anniversary! It’s been a great joy of compiling all the emails and I’ll keep on doing it! Be sure to join the live edition on the 3rd of November at the Permanent Beta Day (http://www.meetup.com/PermanentBeta/events/192554762/) ! Allright, let’s get going: * In need of a t-shirt (https://thisisashirt.com/) ? Order one here and get the text on it from the person who bought it before you! * Shrinking Mankind (http://www.the-incredible-shrinking-man.net/) a project to investigate what would happen to us and earth when we would be smaller. * I’ve played Commander Keen quite often in my youth, and the source-code (https://github.com/keendreams/keen) has now been published on Github!
- Beer in a can with a Pantone color (http://flowingdata.com/2014/09/16/pantone-beer-cans/) . Would it taste better?
- Want to buy a tank? Consider this (http://ntv.livejournal.com/364943.html) a how-to. What an incredible story, especially towards the end!
- All libraries should look as beautiful as the one in Cincinnati (http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2014/06/19/razed-in-cincinnati/) .
- The Good Night Lamp (http://goodnightlamp.com/) is a internet of things lamp. Connected over cellular, so it works worldwide, even off wifi. I love the design and idea, but the price is a bit too steep.
- For everyone who wants to build a robot, check out the Soft Robotics Toolkit (http://softroboticstoolkit.com/) .
- Bacteria powered lamps? Yes! Teresa van Dongen developed the Ambio (http://teresavandongen.com/Ambio) .
-
High Frequency Trading somehow keeps on returning on my list. Check out this great read about a tower in Belguim. (http://sniperinmahwah.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/hft-in-my-backyard-ii/)
-
Having a cube the shows the mood of a city? Why a display when paint (http://syverlauritzsen.tumblr.com/post/97227302315/monolitt-is-an-interactive-installation-that-quite) seems to work just as well!
- Mattias Adolfsson (http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/09/mattias-adolfssons-manically-detailed-sketches-and-doodles/) makes great art, that makes you want to explore his work. There’s always a detail to discover.
- Roman Porry, light years away. (http://www.rom.io/the-centurion-project/) Now that’s a rocking wearable!
- When astronauts go into space? What would they take to prepare for an emergency landing back on earth? You know it when you read: Inside the Cosmonaut Survival Kit (http://theappendix.net/blog/2013/11/the-cosmonauts-survival-kit) .
12 new editions await for the coming year. See ya!
