I think I can find something to print at home under 6″ square. What about you?

This is what our product designers should be doing. Using what we have to create a better society from what we have already produced.

Bowden+Sheffield minimal iPad cases

I was recently introduced to the Bowden Sheffield minimalists iPad cases Kickstarter.com. These cases utilized the finest materials and assembly methods just like the iPad. They really are a perfect companion to protect your iPad for everyday use. I admire the attention to detail and the dedication to superior craftsmanship.

Check out the video below. It is well-made and explains all the features of the cases and the project

Dictation on iPad 3

Tom — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:26:52 +0000

One of the least well-known features on the iPad 3 is the standard dictation feature. This is included in the default keyboard layout of the new iPad and is an overlooked feature in my opinion. This entire post was written with the dictation feature which is based off of the Siri feature built into the iPhone 4S. It uses the cloud to interpret language on the fly during dictation. Apple even says that the dictation feature will better learn what you’re saying as time goes on. To be honest I probably don’t use this feature as much as I probably should. I am slightly embarrassed sitting around speaking to a screen. I think that is something to get used to I guess.

Procreate for iPad

Tom — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:02:53 +0000

Just tried Procreate for the iPad and was thoroughly impressed. Such a well polished app that runs very smoothly on my iPad 3. The new features included in procreate enable me to seamlessly sketch, paint, and render my designs. It is truly a pleasure using this app. I recommend getting a stylus. Many stylus’ for the iPad and other tablets are available online via Amazon.com or eBay for under $20. This helps get precise brushstrokes where you want them and when you want them. What the iPad brought to apps is great interface. Simplicity rules in this app.

An amazing concept for a handheld CNC tool. It basically guides a Dremel in 3d space, while allowing the user to have some creative freedom.

Studioclues portfolio trailer

Tom — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:32:02 +0000

I recently started dabbling in Adobe After Effects in order to increase the impact of our video/presentations.There are hundreds of affordable templates such as this one that anyone can grab and modify to show their work/idea. This took me a few hours to put together using a $15 template. I had to create the audio on a third party site.

All work shown in the movie is my own.
