Typewriter Waffle Maker
Chris Dimino’s waffle-making typewriter may be a few years old now, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t dust it off from time to time and encourage someone to help the man get it into geek kitchens the world over.
Dimino created the typewriter waffle maker for an exhibition called the “Next Best…Ding!” a few years ago. That exhibit, if you don’t know by now, is all about...

Mot et digitalt big bang
Av Bente Myhre Haast
Det er en ting vi later til å glemme: Twitter er ikke én planet.
MITT twitter er annerledes enn ditt. Jeg har min egen twitterplanet; det er jo jeg som bestemmer hvem jeg vil følge og ha kontakt med med. Og hva jeg vil bruke kanalen til. Det forandrer seg også, fordi jeg får nye impulser fra de rundt meg.
På min planet er det nå rundt tusen sjeler, kanskje bare en tredel...

“… paper that has been kissed by metal type”
By Alex Charchar
We all have our addictions based in creativity. They keep us up at night. They loot and plunder the gold from our pockets and often don’t make sense to family and friends. We lose our selves for hours at a time in our obsessions, thinking and tinkering, pondering and playing. But the rush of joy and happiness and energy they give us can be the greatest high one could imagine....

The Kurt Vonnegut Dictionary of His Imagination
Kurt Vonnegut was not the first author to complain about the way things are in the world—nor will he be the last—but he had the uncanny ability to tie a pedagogical lesson somewhere in with his melee of satire and witticisms. In honor of what would have been the Indiana-born novelist’s 88th birthday this week, we’ve compiled a truncated list of Vonnegutisms and illustrations so, if only for a...

Eiganes
Her i denne stilla er trea stolte av seg sjølv
Hjarta er oppete av lengt
Eksilet gir ikkje noko liv
Lyden gir ikkje gjenlyd
Diktet flyktar mellom hendene, flyktar til Jemens hete
Kjærleiken blir stoppa av spørsmål
Den som kjem er stiv av frost
Ein ny morgon over den stille byen
Smerten slåss i hjarta
Og hovudet er oppete av denne etappen
Vinden i eksil hentar ingenting og fører...

Fimbulvinter
Fimbulvinteren slepper ikkje taket; ligg og vakar med blåraud nase. Gufsande kald attom synsranda.
Verda ligg som i endelaus dvale. Fimbulvinteren er utan miskunn.
Vi kryp saman i skjul og vermer kvarandre; bergar våre liv i Hoddmimes skog, i vonlaus venting på varmare vindar.

Drawing Class
By Emily Gallardo
One way to understand an object you’re drawing is to draw it from multiple points of view. From a purely analytic standpoint, you come to realize that complex objects can be broken down into simple components that come together in a fairly logical way. The class started with a really simple object—a cube. Over the next 12 weeks we progressed from the cube to a cylinder, a wine...
