3d Printers, Nagging, Flickr & Fonts
Daily Tech says that “3D printers have been around for industrial use roughly a decade, but they have been matched with outrageous price tags.” A company called Desktop Factory is putting out one for only $4,995. The possibilities for this kind of technology are incredible. "You can imagine printing a toothbrush, a fork, a shoe. Who knows where it will go from here?" says Cornell University Professor Hod Lipson. At the very least I could print a missing jigsaw piece or small figurines.
Here is a site that promises to nag you regularly through email. Their slogan is “Because sometimes in life, you just need to be nagged..”. The truth of that statement aside, I don’t think that emails are a very efficient way to get nagged. They are very easy to ignore, although people are pretty easy to ignore too.
Here are ‘50 Amazing Pictures You Must See on Flickr’. These aren’t necessarily the best pictures on Flickr, but they do look really cool. Check them out. My favorites are the picture of the guy in the window and the picture of cars during rush hour.
Another thing I found, no need for a link. If you have Windows XP go to Start > Run > and type in eudcedit. This opens up a font editor - allowing you to design your own custom fonts and characters to be used in things like MS Word.
