I Love Flowers

Pretty flowers in the garden..

Love Letter

I saw these in the press last August but forgot to post on my blog.  Stephen Powers aka the legendary ESPO worked with the Mural Arts Program and a number of local artists in Philadelphia to paint over 30 of these massive text based murals collectively called Love Letter.  They are all visible from the elevated train which runs along Market Street.  Mr Powers said:  'Hopefully there will be a few sly guys out there who will say to their girl: "Hey Baby, I wrote that up there for you".'

Have you heard of David Thorne?

David Thorne is an Australian humourist, satirist, Internet personality and author.  Thorne gained public recognition when he received media attention for one of his email exchanges, in which he attempts to pay an overdue bill with a drawing of a seven-legged spider.  The vehicle for the story spread via email as an image containing the exchange and shortly after people were flocking to his website 27b/6 (http://27bslash6.com/).  His website is a collection of various humourous stories and accounts from Thorne's own life.  Much of Thorne's humour is autobiographical and self-deprecating, often concerning his immediate family and work associates.

Sensors turn skin into gadget control pad with 'SKINPUT'

Imagine if your iPhone was the size of a small watch?  It would be impossible to navigate without decent sized keys and icons.  But what if you could project the screen onto your hand, and then type directly onto it?  The size of our fingers is limiting how small devices can become.  But with a new system called 'Skinput', a sensor around your arm teamed with a minute projector can literally turn your hand into a touch sensitive screen.  At the moment the sensor is a bit bulky and unattractive but we are not far away from playing music and making phone calls on our hands.  Watch this video and read accompanying article to see how it works.

Scientists Use 3D Printer to Create First “Printed” Human Vein

Scientists working on the Organovo NovoGen printer recently created the first "printed" human vein.  This technology could replace other toxic and carbon-heavy medicinal practices like using artificial body parts in the human body.

The printer is meant to be used in regenerative medicine.  Instead of borrowing body parts from someone else - or yourself - the printer will just make a new part for you.  The printer is loaded with cartridges of "bio-ink" a substance that acts as a kind of scaffolding for the cells to retain their shape.  A sophisticated computer is linked to the printed that is pre-programmed with the 3D blueprint of whatever is being made. The computer instructs the printer to lay down two dimensional layers of bio ink and cells that eventually form into the 3D body part. article taken from www.inhabitat.com
