Minecraft.Print()

Probably one of the coolest projects I've seen in a while.

The basic concept, (Explained much better in the video/website) is the ability to capture a 3d object from minecraft and convert it to a file readable by a 3D printer.

It would be truly fascinating to see one of these printers construct something out of a material other than plastic.

GNU Software philosophy

John Cleese on Creativity

In my opinion, creativity is probably the most important tool to solving any problem. As a long time Monty Python fan, (and a closet history nerd) I really enjoy John Cleese. This video is really gold - without creativity there's no way we can solve complicated problems. Cleese talks about some practical nuts and bolts to creative problem solving.

I'm on Flattr now, Great concept. It's like micro loans, but for useful things done on the web.

Color is here

Seems to be a popular topic to blog about lately.. So I guess I will too.
www.color.com had released their new Android and Iphone app that allows for social picture sharing based on geographic location.
In case your not sure WHY this is cool, imagine being able to log on to a website or app that shows you every picture anyone took (while using the app) of the concert you attended last week, or a major political debate.. or even your wedding.

Color uses location based social networking to link together photos of events.
