For the 4th Sarasota Chalk Festival, artists Leon Keer, Ruben Poncia, Remko van Schaik and Peter Westerink made a three-dimensional drawing on the ground that was inspired by the Terracotta Army.

For anyone that has both the time and inclination these videos are an extremely interesting watch. More so because the recording was made at a very important time. In 1995 Jobs was still at the helm of NeXT - not Apple, Toy Story was just about to be released and the internets boom was just round the corner…

Had the pleasure of being able to watch this live at Adobe MAX 2011, easily the most impressive “Sneak” they had. Only a matter of time until the “art” of photography is made comparable to that of calligraphy.

Japanese company Nippon Electric Glass has developed a new type of ‘invisible glass’ that drastically reduces reflections, rendering the glass almost invisible to human eyes. The secret is a special anti-reflection film that is formed on each side of the glass, which allows more light to pass through rather than bounce off. In ordinary glass, about 8% of the incoming light is reflected, but with this new glass, only 0.5% is. In the photo above, we “see” normal glass on the left and the new glass on the right.
Gadget blogs are salivating over the glass’ potential benefits for phone and computer screens, but we’re interested in seeing whether the glass may prove useful for photography. Perhaps it could pave the way for next-generation lenses and filters?
We bet it can still be covered in greasy finger marks though!

As you’d expect from such a piece, Mona Simpson’s eulogy for her brother Steve Jobs’ is quite touching. She covers, in general, the way they met, he lived and ultimately died. If the life of the man interests you as much as his products do, take five minutes out of your day and give this a read.
All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

Here’s a look at Microsofts (rather grey) take on what the future will be like. Some of the ideas are rather cool, like the countdown to estimated arrival time on the taxi window, but the interface design concepts do appear to be rather cluttered and confusing. So it won’t be too different then…
The idea of flexible screens have been around for quite some time but with little result. Now it seems that Samsung are planning on introducing them to the market - most likely South Korea - next year. With the introduction of the technology to tablets to follow shortly afterwards. Pocketlint had a look at a proof of concept last year.
Very cool stuff.
