Professor’s solar-panel breakthrough wins Millenium Technology Prize, could lead to solar ubiquity: “
The sun is like a big spender at a casino, throwing wads of energy-money at the spinning roulette table that is the Earth, most of it turning into losses. The amount of solar energy hitting our planet reportedly exceeds global demand by a factor of 5,000.
Hopefully that will change due to a breakthrough by Professor Michael Gratzel, who won this year’s Millenium Technology Prize, the Finland-sponsored competition to develop ‘life-enhancing technological innovations.’ The biannual MTP is recognized as ‘the world’s biggest technology prize’ and Gratzel’s entry could be similarly huge: He’s developed solar cells that are organically made, cheap to produce, translucent, and tintable to a variety of colors.

T-Post: “
Claiming to be the world’s first wearable magazine, T-post delivers subscribers a new t-shirt & accompanying story, every 5 weeks. The graphics of each T-shirt are an artists impression of the accompanying story, with the most recent issue, ‘Make or Amen Break it’, being the tale of a hard done by 60’s funk & soul band.
Having dabbled in the collaboration of writers and artists for our own 6×10 project, there’s a lot to admire about T-Post.

Cheap, quick DIY iPad stand: “
Amidst the $50 aluminum iPad stands, I dig seeing the I-just-invented-this-at-my-desk solutions that remind me of being in ID school.
Six pencils, four rubber bands, soft eraser contact points, works in both portrait and landscape. Well done!
