Inkling by Wacom

You know what I need in my life? This. This magic tool of magicness. I’m not very amazing with my normal Wacom tablet so this little gadget is oh so appealing to me. Want. Want. Want.

The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process.

In addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke, Inkling allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper.

Available mid-September for $200.

Apple - OS X Lion Recovery - Introducing Lion Recovery

Apple - OS X Lion Recovery - Introducing Lion Recovery:

minimalmac:

If your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically. It downloads and starts Lion Recovery directly from Apple servers over a broadband Internet connection. And your Mac has access to the same Lion Recovery features online. Internet Recovery is built into every newly-released Mac starting with the Mac mini and MacBook Air.

A very cool feature.

Stanford Students Create a Lightsaber Dueling Robot

The title alone makes for unbelievably fantastic Internet. Thankfully the students at Stanford University have only created the arm of their sword (lightsaber) fighting (dueling) robot. I’m not sure if the world would be safe if a robot could recreate lightsaber battles and move around a room.

There is some pretty cool stuff happening here. They’re using a Microsoft Kinect to help the robot track it’s opponents sword in 3d space and with that data it can either attack or defend.

Make: Online | Bag Closure Power Strip Organization Hack:

minimalmac:

Make intern, Tyler Moskowite, sent over this clever bread bag closure power strip organization hack he found on the Interwebs. I have yet to find the original source for this hack, but hopefully someone will leave their name in the comments and we can all congratulate them for a job well done.

Very clever idea.

What do you think? Kids don’t feel bound by “reality” and can be more creative..so are they better designers? Or at least better for cool ideas for the future?
