Monday, February 25th, 2008

Some shots from the Design And The Elastic Mind Show at MOMA in NYC. Both the phones and Plumen bulb concept made it into the show alongside what looks like a fascinating and thought provoking collection.

DIY Kyoto as the name implies are helping us make sense of our own energy consumption using their first product, Wattson. Good technologies like this can [...]
