A Thread for Fine Design
-
While there are strong moves away from using up paper these days, I feel there is still a need for those little notes that we like to pin up and have 'in our face!' as reminders. Smart phones are good but 'out of sight, out of mind!'
I think the Little Printer by Berg will prove popular as it allows for just the right size prints for the wallet or pinning up. It looks that the Little Printer is in the pipeline and only taking pre-orders at £199! A bit pricey on first slight.
There is also an other option, one that looks equally well designed. Its the mPrinter , a KickStarter project. The prices are also a lot less

^^ here's hoping you never get a 'blue screen of death' when needing the gates potty.
(to be fair, i have been impressed with the gates foundation's efforts on health care, tech in school, libraries, etc...)
Yes, I agree. Bill G and the Missus do great work AND get personally involved rather than just throwing cash around. Apple and Google could take note rather than continuing to try and put their hands around the World!

Eric. .. that's one of your renders I bet. . .

Ha, nope. I wish I could get my hands on one of those though. All sold out.

I can't not see tiny faces in every power socket you lot got. I remember the first time I saw them, I visited Boston and NY, the day I woke up after my first night there I lied there staring at these two little faces opposite the room.

an appropriate expression in that one discovering things are not so status quo
I believe penicillin could cure his ills
and then you could have a field day on the name of that medicine, hee hee -

And around this part of the country they are installed upside down, I think just to annoy me.

Actually there may be madness in their method. sic
I read somewhere that they invert them so that it does not look like a face so that toddlers won't fool with them. -

What I want to know is, when you turn the handle does it act like a rheostat, and the light dims?

What key combination do you use to invert them?
-
TIGs mirror plugin or -1 scale.

I think the Sketchboard might appeal to some here that enjoy sketching on tracing paper with a fat clutch pencil ..... I for one enjoy the feel!
Anton Reinig from Berlin has designed the Sketchboard to keep the process nice and tidy. I also thought that he has not overpriced the device at $30 and his target figure is very realistic so it will more than likely be a runner.

Who wouldn't want one! The Hover Bike (sorry Pilou I missed your post,http://forums.sketchucation.com/report.php?f=72&p=422736 but I think it still deserves to be included here)

Fine design? Maybe not, but very fine creativity and an absurdly aesthetic eye.

I think it qualifies for sure.
It looks like an old commercial structure by the exposed mechanical, and wiring, and even some of the fixtures which fit the context so well. Plus the thoughtful way the key fixtures are mobile, means the space can be altered to any purpose.
But really I just love the funk
