• Laser Cut Wooden Records by Amanda Ghassaei

    Just like any vinyl record, designer Amanda Ghassaei has attempted to reproduce accurate soundbytes by converting digital audio files onto laser-cut wooden records with a precision of 1200dpi. unlike hi-fi audio, the acoustics are rendered in a resolution of 4-5 bits, ( the typical mp3 audio is 16 bit), and a sampling rate up to about 4.5kHz (mp3 is 44.1kHz).

    Michael Riedel copies. He copies the work of others, he copies his own work, and he invites others to do the same. In his hometown of Frankfurt, he is infamous for staging copycat art shows, concerts, and even people.

  • A Branding Agency Reinvents The Perfume Business

    COMMODITY, AN ONLINE SCENT BOUTIQUE, IS AIMING TO CHANGE THE INDUSTRY.

    The fragrance industry—a realm of cheesy commercials and tenuous celeb endorsements—has been fairly untouched by the Internet age, unless you count the flourishing knockoff economy. “The biggest challenge is that you can’t smell what you see online,” says Yo Santosa, the creative director of the L.A. agency Ferroconcrete and co-founder of new online scent company Commodity. “Currently the fragrance market is saturated with shirtless male models and lofty slogans. We wanted to create something modern that felt accessible even if you’re not into fragrances.”

  • LEZYNE MicroDrive LED Light Combo

    It became apparent today I don’t seem to have bright enough lights - even for the daytime. So I picked these up from CycleSurgery earlier - seem fairly bright for a little unit. USB chargeable too which is nice.

    I’m not the biggest fan of advertisements at the best of times…but this is absolutely horrible. It just simply makes me shudder with embarrassment for knowing who the sports personalities are.

    Awkward doesn’t do it justice.

  • Outlook.com Officially Replaces Hotmail

    image

    Outlook.com officially launched Tuesday, marking the demise of its predecessor, Hotmail.

    Nearly seven months after unveiling a preview of the email service last July, Microsoft announced the end of its beta run in a blog post.

    Microsoft, which acquired Hotmail in 1997, said it will switch users to the new service “soon,” but won’t force them to change their emails to an “outlook.com” address. It added that all users should expect to see the change take place by this summer.

    “Everything from their @hotmail.com email address, password, messages, folders, contacts, rules, replies, etc. will stay the same, with no disruption in service.”

    The software giant also revealed that over 60 million people are actively using Outlook.com.
