Make your own animated 3d movies

Hilarious little application that makes animated movies for you. You speak your text and pick your actors, control your scene and camera.  Could be great to mockup usage scenarios or explain a design concept.

Most economical light in the world.

The Kiran light by d.light is the most economical personal light in the world. It cost $10 and is solar. It can be recharged in full sunlight in 8 hours and can emit light for t same amount of time in it’s low setting. Much of the world currently gets their personal lighting from small kerosene lamps. These lamps are costly to ru and some families spend 1/4 of their income on fueling thes personal  lamp. Not only are they costly but they also attribute to poor quality in homes which acoount for approximatey 1 deaths  a year.  A great little design that pushes the limits of simplicty and economy.

Great poster site

Found this great poster site via core77. Mostly instructional, very graphic illustrations of things that need to be visualized. This is my interpretation of art. Functional things that are just plain nice to look at. 60″ by 40″ posters are under $50 for the most part. Killer deal for big art!

Apple Multitouch mouse.

Yes,
Apple has done it again. Another beautiful product I will probably end buying purely because of the design. I hate them.

A college project – ring driver.

Found one of my college projects on Yanko Design a while ago. This was a short little project back in something like 2004. Just a model. Never worked.

Red video cameras – Gorgeous and powerful.

Some great new design has entered the professional video camera market. Jim Jannard the founder of Oakley sunglasses has moved out of the eyewear industry and into the video camera industry. The aesthetics of the cameras somehow bear a slight resemblance to that of the soft sculpted stem on the Oakley sunglass product.  The red highlights and machined surface details give these cameras a truly powerful presence in images.
