Naturally I had to check it out but what I did not expect was that the same seller really make Minecraft geek-ware in many shapes and forms.A block of dirt with grass on top, just as in the game Minecraft

A house built in MinecraftFor the last year one game has become both the symbol of indie game development and also how to make a dream come true for a developer who want to make a game for the crowd. Not only has it changed how we see indie development but it has also taught us a great deal of how to approach a market which can be very hard to define. The game is of course Minecraft.

Let’s look into what the game and it’s creator is all about.

I love vintage how-to and explanatory movies showing the marvelous techniques of cutting edge science. I came across this beauty from Bing Boing and without further ado; I give you how a book was made!

Found out that Boing Boing was writing about this video back in 2008 but then not linked to this youtube video. They did however run the story once again just a few days ago and this time, linking to the video I embedded above.

Bookstrap for pens
I just love these which I saw at Swiss-miss! Since I am one of those people who always have at least one notebook with me where ever I go I can really see a use for this. Most of the time I have my trusty Moleskin in my bad together with a handfull of pens in at least black and red ink. Today all my pens are in a leather pencil box which is not that easy to carry in a single hand, using this “journal bandolier” which they call it I could not only carry my note taking gear in one hand, I would look awesome while doing it too!

Anyone know where I can get hold of one in Sweden? (I only found them from Etsy in the US online) Let me know!

A humanoid looking robot held by a humanAugust 29, 1997 was the date when Skynet became self-aware in the world existing in the movie franschise Terminator. It was the time when machine started to take over the world. Since I first saw that movie I have been asking myself how the machines would look when they finally took over the world. At this moment, I think that ABB is one the right path of building the first machine that actually looks like the killer robots I’ve had in mind.

I present to you; FRIDA, the concept humanoid looking friendly robot.
