Ji Lee, Creative Director at Google and designer of the &#8220;Bubble Project&#8221; (amongst many other things) has re-imagined the chess board. Lee&#8217;s version transforms the flat playing surface into 3 dimensional battleground that better visually represents the play taking place.

In a twist on the age-old practice of artists reclaiming unused and ex-industrial spaces to work in, the Red A.i.R. project is converting former brothels into studios. All this year, Artists-In-Residency In The Redlight are exploring the possibilities of transitory occupations of space within the slowly gentrifying red light district of Amsterdam.

Using the internet to learn new things is a commonplace practice. But what&#8217;s the cutting edge of the internet-education, DIY phenomenon? Cooking, building a car, hacking electronics? How about delivering a baby. Marc Stephens, a naval engineer from Redruth, Cornwall spent a mere 30 minutes watching YouTube videos on the birth process, and was able to successfully use this knowledge to help deliver his premature child.
The Guardian reports:
Feeling nervous about the imminent birth of his child Marc Stephens had a look at childbirth videos on his home computer.
Four hours later his wife, Jo, went into labour three weeks earlier than [...]]]></description>

Grant McCracken wrote a salient blog post recently that discusses the difficulties of keeping up with all the information there is to keep up with. He voices the need for better &#8220;knowledge architecture&#8221; &#8211; new services that can discover, aggregate, filter and organize information in ways that are relevant, and make sense for individual users.
Grant talks about this need for better knowledge design:
The upshot of this conversation for me was that a market in the information space is emerging.  I won&#8217;t pay anything for access to the New York Times.  This is an interesting aggregator, but it&#8217;s way too chunky [...]]]></description>

A small 82cmx82cm square of dirt has been created to represent a &#8220;dead pixel&#8221; in Google Earth by artist Helmut Smits. He burned out the square from a patch of grass, which would look like a non-functioning pixel at a vertical distance of 1km.

Combining the mixtape-making functions of Muxtape, with the up-to-the-second music aggregation powers of Hypemachine, Hypetape aims to make it easy to find and stream exactly the kind of music you want to hear. Hypetape lets users search through the extensive listing of tracks from Hypemachine, and organize them into playlists. The concept is fantastic, and though it&#8217;s subject to random file takedowns, it&#8217;s useful, and functions pretty well.

Frito-Lay has announced one of their snacks is becoming just a bit more sustainable. Starting in 2010, all of the SunChips multigrain chips will come in fully compostable bags made out of plant-based materials. They claim the packaging will completely decompose in about 14 weeks. Let&#8217;s hope they begin using this type of bag for all their snacks.

In a nutshell, programmable matter is a way to create and disassemble solid objects on command &#8211; a kind of miracle material that can be instantly molded into anything.
From the DARPA press release:
The five research teams are pursuing a variety of scientific approaches.  The Harvard University team of researchers led by Professor George Whitesides is developing a sort of  “generalized Rubik’s Cube” that acts as a central organizer to encode information and assemble matter.  Professor David R.

A study from the BI Norwegian School of Management has discovered that illegal music downloaders may not be as detrimental to record companies&#8217; bottom line as previously thought. The research examined the buying habits of 2,000  online music users, and found that those who downloaded tracks for free (both legally and illegally), were 10 times more likely to pay for music. The subjects often said that the freely gotten music was used to inform their subsequent purchases.

McSweeney&#8217;s has posted a course syllabus and overview for a fictional class called &#8220;Internet-Age Writing&#8221;. Prerequisites include LIT: 223—Early-21st-Century Literature: 140 Characters or Less, ENG: 102—Staring Blankly at Handheld Devices While Others Are Talking and ENG: 301—Advanced Blog and Book Skimming. While it&#8217;s a funny commentary on the changing state of modern communications methods, one can&#8217;t help but wonder if this kind of class will eventually become a reality. (Or has it already?)
From the introduction:
Instant messaging. Twittering. Facebook updates. These 21st-century literary genres are defining a new &#8220;Lost Generation&#8221; of minimalists who would much rather watch Lost on their iPhones [...]]]></description>

At first glance, Hironao Tsuboi&#8217; s watch looks like an ordinary piece of jewelry, or a plain watch band. A hidden funcionality is revealed when embedded LEDs illuminate two rows of numbers displaying the time.

If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to downplay the pedigree of your iPhone, whether for security purposes, or just as a throwback fashion statement, check out the zweiPhone stickers. Artist/designer S1M has created a set of limited edition removable decals featuring iconic cell phones of the past. They&#8217;re made to be stuck on the back of an iPhone or iPod Touch to add a bit of design history and patina to the sleek, blank super-phone.

The Tweenbots project by Kacie Kinzer examines the random kindness of strangers.  She designed tiny smiling cardboard robots that rely on the help of pedestrians to get to their destination. The Tweenbots roll at a constant speed, in a straight line and are dependent on humans to steer them in the right direction to reach their final location (which is printed on a flag attached to the robot&#8217;s body).
Kinzer talks about the results of the experiment:
The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to [...]]]></description>

In a curious example of digital good samaritanism, an anonymous artist has created a website featuring photographs of his collection of lost luggage. It&#8217;s part voyeuristic art project, and part online lost-and-found. The maker of isthisyourluggage.com buys bags deemed &#8220;permanently lost&#8221; at airport charity auctions and catalogs the outside and content of the luggage. Hopefully this unusual pastime pays off for someone out there.
