Dave Bianchi : Stare – I met Dave through a mutual friend some 16 or 17 years ago. He posted this video on Facebook and I loved it, so I’m sharing it.

Refocus Phoenix – A bunch of photographers in Phoenix get together to shoot interesting subjects and scenes. I’m excited about going to my first one soon.

The Tenth Dimension – This video describes how to imagine the 10th dimension. Getting past the 6th is mind-blowing enough. Follow it through to the end and then just sit and let it all soak in.

Rockabye Baby – I’m not a parent, but I love the idea. It’s rock songs done as baby music. Tasteful and fun.

Bit Artist – This is a fun site with quick electronics projects I found while looking for interesting things to try with wires and circuits.

Microsoft Sphere – Lately, I’ve been poking through Microsoft’s Research site, where I found this cool project. I doubt anyone will find any practical application for this that will justify the (assumed) high cost, but time will tell.

No Heroics, The United States of Tara and The Big Bang Theory – Last week, I found these shows and I am now completely hooked on all of them.

scanR – The concept is a good one and it looks like they have their act together, but the price point is off. It’s not much, but £2.50 is more than I want to pay if I’ll use it once a month. There should be a £2.50/year = 50 uploads option for people like me. For the power user, though, this is a great idea and the price is OK.

ASSIST – A Shrewd Sketch Interpretation and Simulation Tool. I hate it when something this cool just seems to silently go away with time. The video makes it look like the next logical interface for design theory. Here’s the project’s site.

Plinky – Ever fill out a questionnaire meme? Plinky is kind of like that, but more. Plinky gives you “prompts” that inspire thought. They can be just a simple question like “Describe how you’d spend $1,000″ or something deeper to provoke your writing for a new blog post. I think I’ll be dropping in on that one daily. This is yet another cool site I found while reading Demo Girl.
