Every once in a while an idea is so genius that you just have to tip your hat off to the person or persons who came up with it.

Yeah, I’m geeking about some wicked industrial design.

“The Royal College of Art’s graduate show has opened, and this year, the show-stopper was a plug. Min-Kyu Choi impressed every passer by with his neat, apparently market-ready plug that folds down to the width of an Apple MacBook Air.”

You have to click over to the article to see how this innovation works.

I love it when Art and Tech collide.

Brilliant!

Seriously?!

Legos+Camera=Freakin’ awesome!

Photodoto shares a great melding of two companies bringing photography fun to your kiddos soon.

You can bet your assets that our oldest little monster will be getting one of these bad boys as soon as it comes out.

It seems that many newspapers have been pulling the plug on… well, their business.  Sort of anyway.

I wrote about this before when facebook squared off with newspapers.

So I can’t be surprised to read Scoble’s question on whether or not newpapers have a shot.

Well, I suppose they do.  It’s a matter of whether they’re willing to make the changes that some of the more forward thinking “papers” have done and move online. 

So my question is: Do newspapers have to change their name as a business?

They have to change their business model if they want to succeed.  That theory becomes more evident as technology gets more portable and accessible.  There is a final frontier in all of this.  Those who aren’t quite “plugged in” 24/7.  It seems that group gets smaller and smaller before my very eyes.

I imagine a world, not far from now, where my children will grow up really knowing about computers and technology.  I mean knowing.  I didn’t know about it.  I learned it.  Much like most of you have learned it.  My kiddos will just end up knowing it.

My oldest turns 3 this month.  Her favorite toy right now is her Barbie laptop.  I’m just saying…
