Here’s this months list of things: * Multiplayer games let players play a game together, but what if sharing 1 player with millions of otheres… Twitch.tv (http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2014/02/twitch-plays-pokemon/) found out it’s actually quite amusing to watch. * Tying you’re shoes is made old-school by Hickies (http://www.hickies.com/) . * I’m all into wearables, but creating a habit based on conditioning by Pavlov (http://pavlok.com/) is new to me. * You probably don’t often touch microscopes, but building one that’s high resolution and cheap (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0088977) is interesting either way! * In the previous corner, I’ve shown a bonsai, now it’s up to mushrooms (http://jonasedvard.dk/work/myx/) to take it’s place. * I wondered why we didn’t have one of these (http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2014/02/cloudwash-berg-cloud-connected-washing-machine/) yet? * Speedreading made easy (http://www.spritzinc.com/) . * Want to securely but shareable text? Nonopticon (http://www.nonopticon.com/) offers to share the data in plain sight. * Nevermind the moleskine. This notebook is way more inspiring (http://www.tmsprl.com/shop.html) . * Where do all the people in mockups come from: Skalgubbar (http://skalgubbar.se/) . * I’ve recently started re-reading Duno. But the art-work (http://www.thefoxisblack.com/2014/02/21/the-radical-psychadelia-of-jodoroworskys-dune/) is simply amazing and psychedelic. * My brother runs a curation service for shortfilms on vimeo, it’s called #kijkvoer (http://vimeo.com/channels/kijkvoer/) . * A 600 year old mystery manuscript has been decoded (http://www.beds.ac.uk/news/2014/february/600-year-old-mystery-manuscript-decoded-by-university-of-bedfordshire-professor) by a professor in the UK. * Doors are a much used object. Why not make them wonderful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umfvm8I9_oU) to use them? * Life is a game. This is your strategy guide (http://oliveremberton.com/2014/life-is-a-game-this-is-your-strategy-guide/) . * You’ve reached the end (http://www.math.niu.edu/~behr/eoti.html) .
