Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in future communication devices. Morph can sense its environment, is energy harvesting and self cleaning . Morph is a flexible two-piece device that can adapt its shape to different use modes. Nanotechnology enables to have adaptive materials yet rigid forms on demand. It is also featured in the MoMA online exhibition "Design and the Elastic Mind". It has been a collaboration project of Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center.

Short documentary about the Renault Espace F1 broadcasted in 1995 on french channel M6. Quick summary of what the narrator says: * In one day the Espace F1 will do it's maiden lap and also last lap ever * Renault Sport, Williams and Matra all worked on this prototype with the help of F1 pilots Alain Prost and Eric Bernard * Renault Engine 3.5l V10 800 hp 14000RPM * Consumption is 60 litres / 100km * Cost per kilometer is 300 times more than a regular Renault Espace Alain Prost at the end declares: "I always wanted to bring with me in a two seater Formula 1 some journalists, specially the ones I don't like." :oD

Master fabricator Rex Bailey used the Samson™ CNC machine to build the "Yeti" (the abominable snowman), a monster truck that drives through snow more than 3 feet deep. The 76-inch tractor tires, Unimog portal axles, and modified Dodge 3500 Cummins diesel truck are all joined together by custom-designed plates that Rex made with the machine. http://www.samsoncnc.com

Blogger Amy Tenderich posted her "Open Letter to Steve Jobs" in April, pleading with the Apple CEO to apply some of that company's design expertise to improving the lives of the 20 million American diabetics who rely on technology to manage their condition every day. Amy asked for better products for diabetics, but we recognized that those products had to add up to an experience that would satisfy their emotional and psychological needs. So we set out to develop an experience design concept that addressed user behavior and psychology as well as current technological trends to project how insulin pumps and glucose meters might work five years from now.

***Updated with Product Specs*** This is a video I put together for a Product Management class in the MBA program at Georgia State University. The video is meant to illustrate the MacBook Touch concept - a tablet computer that uses Apple's multi-touch technology. For the class project we were required to come up with a new product concept and develop the idea using Product Development and Management techniques learned in class. The video was put together using iMovie '08 and is my first attempt at making a video. Several of the clips were taken from Apple videos on the internet, and some were recorded by me in order to simulate using multi-touch on a tablet computer. The concept mockup photos were done with Microsoft Paint. The video of Mute Math playing at the end is from their Flesh and Bones Electric Fun DVD. There are a few mistakes in the video and some things I would have liked to do differently had I had the time, but I was working on a short schedule trying to put the rest of the project together. Overall I think the video came out well and made a nice ending to the final presentation in class. Music: "Reset" by Mute Math Video created by John Fudge ****Update**** Some have messaged me and asked what the final specifications looked like for the project. Here are some of the potential specifications that were settled on using a combination of Conjoint Analysis, visual product mock-ups, an 8 person Focus Group, and specs of some of Apple's current products (Keep in mind these Specs were established in March 2008). Size: 9.75" W X 6.81" H X .75" D Weight: ~2.5 lbs Display: 10.5" LED-backlit Widesreen Aluminum Enclosure Hardware: 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (1.8 GHz optional) 80GB HDD (Optional 64 GB Solid State Drive) Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor Built-in iSight camera Built-in stereo speakers and microphone 802.11 n Wireless Networking Built-in Wi-Max Built-In GPS Internal Accelerometers Bluetooth 2.1 2 USB 2.0 Ports Mini DVI Audio In/Out Jack Price: Starting at $1800 Other Options: External USB SuperDrive Powered docking station with external bluetooth keyboard

A Skylit Drive's newest song off their highly anticipated album Wires and the Concept of Breathing (05.20.08) LYRICS: Won't you scream my name? For the first time (For the first time!) For the last time (For the last time!) As I lay down my life before you! The hiding place where I sought out your eyes Screaming outwards to shoot me back in time You sent me out in the right field Spilled my words and disguise We're starting a rise Now it's so true I can't go on without you by my side Every night we die Hold my breath just to see your ghost! I hold it in my hand for you Won't you scream my name? For the first time (For the first time!) For the last time (For the last time!) And I regret the moments I gave you! Searching for my plans to devour you I finally found out the truth You sent me out in the right field Spilled my words and disguise We're starting a rise Now it's so true I can't go on without you by my side Every night we die Let go of the wires! Let go of the wires!

Mobile phones are one of the most common pieces of technology used in our daily lives. Some reports put the number of cell phones sold in 2007 worldwide at 1.1 billion. With that number of cellular phones sold in 2007 alone, the market is very hot leading to expanded research and development of new handsets. Nokia and the University of Cambridge have teamed up on a new concept phone called the Morph described as a nanotechnology concept device. The concept design was launched at the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. According to Nokia, the Morph is a concept intended to demonstrate how devices in the future could be stretchable and flexible allowing the user to change the shape of their device on a whim. The nanotechnology construction is capable of providing users with flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Nokia Chief Technology Officer Dr. Bob Iannucci said in a statement, "Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible." Nokia claims that certain elements of the Morph could be integrated into high-end handheld devices in the next seven years. Nokia adds that nanotechnology could at some point lead to low cost manufacturing solutions providing complex devices at low prices. University of Cambridge Professor Mark Welland added, "Developing the Morph concept with Nokia has provided us with a focus that is both artistically inspirational but, more importantly, sets the technology agenda for our joint nanoscience research that will stimulate our future work together." Nokia made headlines earlier this month when the German government demanded $60.5 million in a refund of subsidies it provided.
