It all happened in Brooklyn…

Cooper — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:39:53 +0000

This is what I’ll be able to say to my grandchildren.

It will not simply be idle yarns spun by a crotchety miser; the history books will confirm it. Brooklynites will define this century!

Don’t believe me? You dare doubt the collective power of the Millennial Generation‘s bottom up, Do-it-Yourself Awesomeness.

We are making our food from scratch: Brooklyn’s New Culinary Movement

Mast Brother Chocolate – These guys use old-school bartering with chocolate bars to expand their operations.

McClure’s Pickles - They make one spicy delicious pickled cucumber.

How about a desktop 3D Printer, kinda like a Startrek replicator? Makerbot

Started by the crazy DIY dudes at NYC RESISTOR

Oh your not impressed, you jaded SOB! I outta box your ears, whippersnapper! (ok, so I’m already crotchety) Put this in your pipe and smoke it:

Brooklyn Based Open Source Fusion Project (read: Clean, Cheap, fossil-free Energy, based on the Sun)

That’s right, Big Oil is dead, it’s time to make good on the promised of the Nuclear Age.

Kiss our glowing purple reactor!

Now accepting donations.

It will come to fruition, as long those meddling hipsters don’t mess it up!

Fifteen Years ago, Kevin Costner was drinking his own pee. Filtered pee, of course, for his epic 1995 film “Water World“, which is best know for being an epic flop.

But wait! Could there be some benefit from this bleak look into a future without dryland?

It seems that when Kevin was in the aqua-survivalist mood he invested in a developing a pump technology which separates oil from water. Costner, an adamant environmentalist, may have only wanted to clean up the water from the myriad of gasoline explosions that took place on the open water set when he gave $20 million to his scientist brother.

Just another example of how the movies are advancing the human race!

Creeeepy Crawler

This Creature, “little dog”, is the less scary (and noisy) version of Big Dog, the DARPA four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics.
It is almost… dare I say: cute. You be the judge.

Poopie Monster

The dirty family secret that Cookie Monster doesn’t like to mention. Every family has a black sheep.

Mmm dog treats.

This video leaves me wanting.Â I either want a dog or a 1000fps high speed camera.

This Rube-y OKGO video is a gem

If you are like me, you will watch this a minimum of 3 times. Â Of course by then you will need to buy the single. Â These bastards are good!

Quality time through technology.

Blind father plays games with Daughter using a low res tactile display on his tongue.Â She seems bored by this and tries to cheat in Tic-Tac-Toe.Â He catches her deception with his

The Future of Comfort

If this video creeps you out a bit… it’s ok, you’re only human.

Oh, and yes, that pillow is breathing.

Based on an intensive two month research (in cooperation with FESTO and the EMPA) concerning artificial muscles my work reflects upon how new technologies will change future products (and society), and the way we interact with them.
