Moodshine - Part 4

I knew this would happen, there was no way i could keep on top of blogging our breakfast club!
But last week saw Matt lead a brilliant breafast, and got us all doing a spot of origami.
Whilst we were trying to sort out our valley folds from our pockets folds we learnt about a guy call Robert Lang, who has studied the maths behind origami and uses a program called Treemaker, that can create folding patterns form any 3d model. The results are complex and pretty amazing.
Whilst we’re on the subject, check out these tiny weeny paper cranes on etsy, i may have to make some!

tweenbots

It may be a little late to blogs these, since they already appeared in the metro last week, but who could resist these little helpless robotsand their smiley cardboard faces?

Tweenbots is the brain child of Kacie Kinzer. Each bot can only travel in one direction, and have their desired destination written on a flag. They can only navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter.

I wonder if They would get as far in London as they did in New York?

I look forward to hearing from the next generationof lost robots.

little soft baby elephant

I got my first postcrossing card today! Its come all the way from Lithuania. I’m touched and amazed that so much care has been put into something made for me by a complete stranger. The hand painted card features, and i quote “one little soft baby elephant in the infinite meadow of spring. It has presents for you in it’s trunk”.
That sort of thing would make anybodies day!

tasty tweets

I had dinner at the Albion the other night. The veggi menu options were frankly average – but the amazing cupcakes made up for it.

Thankfully, you can see exactly when a fresh batch has been taken out the oven, by following @albionsoven. A little gadget in their kitchen allows the baker to turn a dial, press a button, et viola. – tweet sent.

BakerTweet from POKE on Vimeo.

Kudos to poke for creating a arduino based kitchen friendly gadget, that builds the relationship between their client and the peckish users.

Matt and Ray

Matt and ray are the names for two types of knitted lamps, made by llot llov. They are low energy and low heat bulbs, resulting in a lovely, soft, playful lighting product. The light really brights out the texture of the knitting, and from these shots, they seem to look good flopped just about anywhere.

Found

The fascination with hand written and randomly found things continued – fueled by being introduced to this blog by this chap.
Found is all about letters, photos, and hand scribbled notes – carelessly left out and about for people to find and spread all over the internet. There’s some real gems in there.
