IdeaPaint

As some of you may or may not know my “day job” is @ Matchbox Design Group where we use white boards everyday.  (usually for stick figures)  We’re currently in the process of moving offices and when we found this stuff we thought it was ingenious.  Instead of having to hang the white boards, frame them and make sure they’re level… Brent…. , you can just paint the wall with IdeaPaint ($30-$175).  Of course it can be used in places other than an office wall, say maybe the kitchen, garage, kid’s room or even your coffee table which I’ll be doing shortly.

Gravité by Renaud Hallée

by cwhitmore | Posted April 22nd, 2010 at 8:58 pm

This is an awesome video by Renaud Halée called Gravité (Gravity).  It’s a collection of falling objects synchronized to create rhythm.  It really reminds me of Stomp other than the fact that there aren’t people stomping around… or sweeping.
