Miscellaneous cool stuff
I've been quite busy lately, for those weird enough to be interrested in my personal life I will let you know I've been occupied with preparing for my wedding... Anyway, I found a bunch of stuff which I felt obliged to share.
The Saint Paul Pioneer Press is running a story about a new instant messaging application called Trepia, which has the added twist of keeping track on where people physically are. The catch is that if this thing reaches critical mass one could use it to find people who share your interrests in your area. Nice!
New Scientist is talking about Gekko Tape. This should be something to watch out for for all you spider-man wannabees out there.
Last but not least, Slashdot reports that Johnatan Ive has won the first Designer of the Year award from the Design Museum in London. Mr Ive is the man behing the design of the iMac and iPod, among other things. I don't own any Apple hardware myself, but I must say this was a good pick for an award of this sort. Apple truly has shown the way of sensible-looking computers. The BBC has another take on Johnatan Ive.
