Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson Hollow Book by HollowBookCompany

One of the coolest gifts one can possibly give or receive in tribute to the late Steve Jobs is this pretty cool book that seems to highlight the impact the iPad has had on the publishing industry. Give it another seven or so years, books of the future will look exactly like this one.

Although a little more symbolic, and now off track. The book itself is a tribute to the history of Steve Jobs, but the hollowed out version from Hollow Book Company continues to bring forth the inspiration that we once remembered from good ‘ol Steve.

Visualizing the web in 3d

Tilt a little remarkable cool Firefox extension tool that poses to not only be useful, but also fun. It visualizes DIVS and other HTML code as stacks and presents them as three-dimensional layered objects.

This extension was so much fun, here are a few of the sites I visited, and captured their results:

Lormify

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very few widgets occupy my dashboard these days. Especially ones I can find very useful for projects that require a drop, a plop or a pinch of Lorem Ipsum. I installed Lormify, and out of the box, a very quick and easy-to-use tool that will get you generating Lorem Ipsum like a rockstar within seconds.

 

Tactile Wooden Keyboard

This wooden keyboard designed by Michael Roopenian “uses nature’s tactility to strengthen the relationship between user and interface.” The new device improves the experience in typing using sensitivity within our finger tips to determine specific keys being touched, while lavishly offering our fingers the gift of wood. The design mimics the waves found in the patterns of wood grain to bring together a design solution that offers uniformity in design, giving each key its own unique and necessary touch experience.

 

Amazon Cloud Player

As I wait for iCloud to opens its doors to hopefully a great cloud solution I could use for my music. I decide to check out the Amazon Cloud Player and give it a whirl. It can carry 5GB of my music for free. I’m not sure if I’m ready to be begin deleting my original music files for them to live up in the cloud. Re-downloading the music must be a chore, compared to the 10-20 hour uploading process I will already have to endure, tonight as I sleep. But am I ready to have all my music in the cloud, gaining access to them whenever and however I want? I guess that depends if you are ready to pay a lifetime for musical storage.

 

 

Style Us

Back in 2007, Steve Jobs didn’t think that a tablet that required a stylus was a device you could trust, saying “If you see a stylus, they blew it.” Plunging the stake into every tablet/ pda predecessor that came before the iPad and the future ones that will follow its lead. With that all done and said, what remains as a missing device in the world of the iPad is a drawing device that can encapsulate my natural ability to draw and sketch on the iPad. [...]
