BamTrike – Personal Mobility Vehicle

Gil — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:23:46 +0000

BamTrike is a three-wheeler that goes with the fancy tag of being a Personal Mobility Vehicle. Besides sporting a really unique form, the most intriguing part of this concept is the usage of Bamboo as a building material. The choice stems from the fact that structurally, bamboo compares to fiberglass, in woven form. The rider of the vehicle gets to sit in a comfy reclined position and the side storage pockets are sufficient to carry your personals. As a recreational vehicle, it really looks neat!

BamTrike is a part of an ongoing research by Monash student Alexander Vittouris, so we can expect frequent updates to this project.

Here is an excerpt:

The parts required for construction of the recumbent chassis have been reduced to encompass the outer framework of the vehicle. By using large molding sections of bamboo fiber, combined with Polylactide resin, the overall assembly complexities are reduced. The philosophy behind this innovative approach is to motivate the consumer in active production of the outcome and enhance the feeling of ownership via positive contribution. The challenge of successive concepts is to find additional ways of making the raw material of bamboo benefit the intention of naturally derived personal mobility.

BIKE – IF MODE

Gil — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:16:05 +0000

Designer Team: Ryan Carroll, Michael Lin & Mark Sanders

The clean and striking IF Mode is aimed at commuters of the mobile generation who, until now, may have not considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. IF Mode avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps, and the clutter of traditional bike features. Meant for city commuters rather than bicycle warriors, it looks at home folded up on a subway or in an office, like other well designed accessories in your life. It also performs on the street like any lightweight, well-balanced full size bike.
Bike Weight: 32 lbs (14.7 kg)

Folding Fan Is A Keyboard

Gil — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:20:36 +0000

The designers for this Keystick – fan folding-style-keyboard, say that it’s a part of their None Bacteria Project – aimed at cutting down spread infections. Ah…I don’t buy the story of it being designed for personalized used so that you don’t contaminate your fingers. I’d much rather have it as this cool futuristic fan that I flip out of my purse and use it with my iPhone to update my latest posts. I’ll have mine in Pink Mr. Kim!

Padrões HTML5

Gil — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 03:08:04 +0000

Desde 2004, empresas como Apple, Mozilla e Opera notaram que a direção do W3C estava se distanciando das necessidades reais dos desenvolvedores atuais e estavam se afastando do HTML.

Então em resposta, estas organizações e mais um bocado de desenvolvedores criaram a WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group).

Esta iniciativa está crescendo em volta de fabricantes de browsers, desenvolvedores web e pessoas interessadas no desenvolvimento da próxima geração do HTML e tecnologias relacionadas.
