The Maker File: Robodock 2007
Dale just put together some stills and audio from Robodock 2007. The 10th Robodock Arts & Technology Festival took place recently in Amsterdam. Featuring hundreds of artists either inside an old shipbuilding warehouse or outside on the docks of North Amsterdam, Robodock offered a spellbinding mix of mechanical marvels coupled with performance art. View it here or get the MP4. Also check out Robodock 2007 photo round up from Laughing Squid / Scott Beale (PharPhoto above).

Soda can needle disposal
Low cost way of disposing of used needles, great article @ Business week... -
"When I was nine, I was rescued," says industrial designer Hân Pham. She's not speaking metaphorically. Fleeing the communist Vietnamese regime in the 1980s, Pham, her older brother, and her father--a political dissident--were plucked from the China sea by West German humanitarians after spending 36 hours crammed with 100 others in a fishing barge the size of a raft. They were taken to a U.N. refugee camp in Singapore, where a dirty vaccination needle caused a weeks-long battle with bacterial infection, which left her permanently scarred. "The terrible irony," she points out, "is the thing that was supposed to cure me made me worse."Life-Saving Design - [via] Link.Antivirus, the simple design she came up with as a result of her childhood ordeal, just scooped the People's Choice prize at the prestigious Index: Awards, touted by organizers as the world's largest design prize. Pham, who now runs her own design firm in Aarhus, Denmark--the country she emigrated to shortly after her Singaporean trauma--designed the concept as part of a graduate school project at Designskolen Kolding in 2005.

The Black Hole - A nuclear salvage wonderland
Dave writes -
Every teenager dreams of working in a giant warehouse full of discarded nuclear test equipment, well used high-pressure vacuum fittings and an endless assortment of puzzling devices which may or may not have any value in the modern era. Ok, so maybe not every teenager has this dream, I was and still am somewhat of a strange person, but in High School in New Mexico, this particular dream of mine came true.The Black Hole - A nuclear salvage wonderland - Link.

Gensou Hyouhon Hakubutsukan ("Museum of Fantastic Specimens")
Pink Tentacle writes -
Gensou Hyouhon Hakubutsukan ("Museum of Fantastic Specimens") is an online collection of creatures "curated" by Hajime Emoto. The three-story virtual museum consists of 9 rooms chock full of water- and land-dwelling monstrosities from all corners of the globe. Each specimen has a clickable thumbnail that links to additional photos and historical and background information (in Japanese). The basement contains a bookshop and a cafeteria serving dishes prepared with some of the beasts featured in the museum (such as umiushi sashimi, served fresh from the tank and wriggling on your plate, with a balsamic vinegar sauce).Gensou Hyouhon Hakubutsukan ("Museum of Fantastic Specimens") - [via] Link.All of the creatures showcased in the museum are sculpted from paper, modeling paste and bamboo and are completely imaginary, claims Emoto -- perhaps a disappointment for hunters of the legendary tsuchinoko (center-right in the photo above) in search of an actual specimen, but an amazing collection of critters nonetheless.

The most beautiful supercomputer in the world
Josh Simon's over at the Sun blog(s) has a great set of photos from a supercomputer in an chapel!
With my supercomputer-as-art background from Thinking Machines, I'm perhaps pre-disposed to appreciate nicely done computers and computer installations. I was blown away when I saw the photos below of MareNostrum, currently the 9th largest supercomputer in the world and the largest in Europe, which is installed in a former chapel at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). Wow.The most beautiful supercomputer in the world - Link.
