Thanks to Makiko Itoh for translating Satoshi’s last words. It is definitely long and rambling as she claimed, but I found it an easy reading. Being an animator and also someone who tends to surround myself with work, makes me rethink.

A refreshing version of World War II told on Facebook.
A novelette by my favorite sci-fi author, Stephen Baxter. Read it online at

In 40 pages, Baxter discusses alternate universes and speculates worlds without the advent of Nasa.
Love the graphics in this website. You can navigate through the amazingly detailed town and even build your own room. The UI design is intuitive and the transitions between the many context menus are smooth and polished.
A car with flexible skin and movable metal structures beneath. Theoratically, you an better customize the look of your car, it is scratch resistant and it probably costs less to change the entire “cover” too. But the best part is that it also consumes much less energy to manufacture these compared to full metal casings. Safety is not an issue because crash damping and structural integrity is handled by the frame. Love the lights.

The Kinetic Sculpture is a metaphorical translation of the process of form-finding in art and design. 714 metal spheres, hanging from thin steel wires attached to individually-controlled stepper motors and covering the area of six square meters, animate a seven minute long mechatronic narrative. In the beginning, moving chaotically, then evolving to several competing forms that eventually resolve to the finished object, the Kinetic Sculpture creates an artistic visualisation of the process of form-finding in different variations.

The graphics don’t look like much, but its a cool flash rendition of the classic Powers of Ten – except that now you control the accelerator and brakes. The scale is pretty impressive too, from quantum foam up to the whole universe, check it out at New Grounds.
