If you aren’t too keen about spending nearly $300 on a laptop stand, then the Macessity NX Stand may be a better alternative. At just $60, it comes with a side slot for an external harddrive and a built-in 4-port USB hub (along with allowing you to access the laptop’s USB hubs while in the stand).
In terms of usefulness, I feel like the NX Stand beats out the Balmuda Floater by a long shot. Plus, it helps that the NX Stand is a fraction of the price. Anybody own this who can attest to the solid steel make? Sturdy or not?
cw&t (consisting of design duo Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy) created this beautiful and simple stem for bicycles using a solid block of aluminum. It fits on a 1-1/8″ tube diameter and sells for $89. [via]
The neat and nice thing about this design is that cw&t have released the specifications under a Creative Commons license. So if you have your own metal mill you can download the spec sheet and build your own. Cool!
Urbanscreen utilized the facade of a building as a canvas for manipulation in this video that demonstrates how a solid object can be manipulated by digital means to become a fluid sculpture. A rather lovely project in my opinion, and one that makes me wish buildings around me would come alive like this one.
