** The Curious Corner #9
This is the new edition of the Curious Corner of the Internet. As we are nearing the tenth edition and we’re past the 200 subscribers, I wanted to experiment some more. So this edition will have some images in it that I’d sourced from the web too. I’ll hope you enjoy! * I want a table (http://hackaday.com/2013/12/04/crab-ble-a-table-that-walks/) like this! I’m sure Theo Jansen (http://www.strandbeest.com/) would love it! * Do you use the TouchID from apple for unlocking your phone? Please read whyfingerprints (http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-user-names-not.html) are identities and not passwords.. * I like to sleep, I won’t lie about it. But how much do you know about your sleeping patterns? Read (http://blog.sethroberts.net/2013/12/11/sleep-summary-of-what-ive-learned/) Seth Roberts blogpost about things you should explore. * Science Fiction could be a great way to predict the future, but how much (http://www.dystopiatracker.com/) is actually true in the current time?
http://min-nguen.deviantart.com/art/Airships-399187122 * We use scissors all the time, but there’s only one guy (https://vimeo.com/98953952) who’s making them the traditional way. Please do not let professions like this die out. * I’ve got a raspberry pi, but so far I haven’t found a project for it. But this small GPIO extension board (http://www.raspberrypi.org/controlling-electrical-sockets-with-energenie-pi-mote/) might change it! Home-automation is a go! * Jennifer Lyn Morone (http://we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2014/06/jennifer-lyn-morone-inc.php) explores what would happen if you institutionalize yourself. How much could you ask for the services your body could offer? * An oscilloscope as a display? (http://tacticalneuralimplant.tumblr.com/post/90139940476/trsi-beams-of-light-party-2014) Why not? For sure when the demo-scene gets their hands on it and build a entire video with it! * Microserfs (http://eprofits.com/article/1109-microserfs-are-programmers-a-new-digital-working-class) is a term I haven’t heard about before. I’m not sure whether to like it.. Although the idea is interesting.. * The documentary about Aaron Swartz (http://www.takepart.com/internets-own-boy) is a must-see! * If you are a designer, be sure to read this essay about the manufactured normalcy field (http://urbanhonking.com/ideasfordozens/2012/06/24/designing-for-and-against-the-manufactured-normalcy-field/) .
