While I love a good, messy workshop, I appreciate a clean one if only to get tips on organizing
my own space. Craig and Cindy Smith's shop, which they call the Firefly Workshop, offers some
neat tricks. Also, what's up with the astromech dome and Wall-E eyes?
I am not a 'green freak', but I do use a lot of scraps in my workshop organization. My main
workbench was a damaged countertop from a lumberyard's bargain pile. Lots of shelves, storage and
organization cubbys are from my scrap lumber pile. A metal shelving unit was about to be tossed
out, but I made it into a low doublewide shelf with a worktop. Storage under my stairs was
impossible to access, plus occasional basement water would have me pulling it all out to prevent
trapped moisture mold. So I made a roll-out storage platform that keeps items off the floor;
airflow & fans during the occasional downpour keep it dry, safe and accessible. Pegboard is for
suckers. All that expense and work for the pegboard, mounting it with furring strips behind, and
the expensive hooks themselves... no thank you. A scrap of plywood and assorted
construction/drywall screws/nails for hangers is easier, more customizable and WAY cheaper. My
screwdriver holder is a 22" piece of 1X3 with holes staggered along it, screwed to the board with
3" screws. Power tools tossed on a shelf can take up lots of space, and cords from one tool can get
caught in another, so pull out your drill and three tools fall out. So I made an appliance garage
with cubbys for various tools out of scrap plywood for my outdoor garage workshop.

Barons’ Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Car Sale at Sandown
Park, Surrey on April 27th celebrates the 75th anniversary of Jaguar. The entry list already
includes several very desirable examples, including a 1933 Jaguar SS1 coupé, a
stunning, rare 1958 XK150SE DHC auto and some glorious E-types, including a 1973 Series 3 roadster
by Vicarage.
The 1933 SS1 coupé is one of just 1099 produced. Finished in its original coffee
and cream colours, it is fitted with its original - and very rare - R.A.G carburettor, all original
running gear and the original wipers driven from the gearbox. The car has been repatriated after
spending many years in Australia and is offered in good condition, having been restored some years
ago. Estimate: £70,000-90,000.
The 1958 Jaguar
XK150SE DHC auto was originally delivered to John Bloom as a present from his business partner
Mr Barry Humpman. The pair became household names in Britain in the 1950s and early '60s by
marketing washing machines - gaining over 10% of the UK market share. The car was subsequently
owned by Bentley specialist Stanley Mann. In recent years it has been completely rebuilt, including
a bare metal respray, engine and transmission rebuild, a full re-trim in high quality Connolly red
leather with black piping and a new mohair hood. The car has lived in Cyprus since 2008 and was
shipped back to the UK in February this year. It has covered only 24,250 miles in its lifetime -
and just 100 miles since 2008. Estimate: £60,000-£70,000.
Early entries for the sale also include three excellent variants of the ever-popular Jaguar E-type. The primrose
yellow 1973 S3 V12 Vicarage roadster is in mint condition, (estimate £78,000-£85,000).
Earlier E-types are represented by a sleek, black 1962 S1 3.8 fixed-head coupé, a
left-hand-drive car which spent the first 36 years of its life in California. It has been
meticulously restored and carries an estimate of £28,000-£34,000. And the sale also
includes a later Series One E-type - a 1968 Series 11/2, to be precise - which has covered 38,800
miles from new. It is offered complete with an extensive file of bills relating to the restoration
and various upgrades incorporated during the rebuild, which includes tuning by TAG Racing team
mechanic (estimate £26,000-£29,000).

“How was the game?” Ann asked as Jeremy crawled through the hatch. She had to wait
with the answer until he had pushed it close, metal screaming.
“It was awesome!” He replied breathlessly, as he threw his bag off his shoulders and
went directly for his cot to change clothes. “Jenny and Ahmed’s characters planned on
having a garden party for Jia – that’s Mark’s character
– on account of her getting that promotion.”
Ann chuckled lightly, continuing to fry that morning’s catch, the smell of meat permeating
the whole container.
“Hey mom, what’s a ‘water cooler’? My character is supposed to go there
to meet all of his new workmates, but I have some trouble imagining it.”
Ann explained what a water cooler was, and for good measure what it meant to ’shoot the
breeze around the water cooler’. Jeremy listened intently while gathering his .22 rifle,
clearly making mental notes. She tried to keep the ruefulness out of her voice. By the time she
was finished he was ready to go. He was already looking a bit glummer. Ann felt sorry for him,
having to go out there again. When she had been his age…no use thinking of it.
“When’s the next game?”
Jeremy lit up.
“We talked shifts; I’ll be on night for the next week, Ahmed, Jenny and Mark are all
crazy as well, but we thought Wednesday the week after that.”
“That sounds wonderful, dear. Be careful up there now.”
“Of course mom. See you tomorrow!”
Jeremy crawled back topside for his evening guard shift. Ann continued frying the ever-grey
little pieces of rodent, stirring them in the sudden silence with her wooden fork. She was
thinking absently of water-coolers and garden parties and promotions and regular jobs. Things
that her children might only know through make-believe, role-playing games they play when they
get together for those brief moments when there was no alert, no danger, no attack.
Still, she was happy they were allowed those moments of escapism into a world so completely
foreign to their own.
Lorraine Ali of Newsweek.com reports: Though Iraqi heavy metal band ACRASSICAUDA's first-ever
recording, the EP "Only the Dead See the End of the War", was released last week, most of the
band's members are working two or three service jobs each and living in cramped apartments.
To celebrate the 30th anniversaries of AC/DC's classic "Back In Black" album and the 40th
anniversary of BLACK SABBATH's inception, U.K.'s Metal Hammer is lining up some "ultra-awesome"
tribute albums to be given away with future copies of the magazine.

How many e-book readers do you think are out there right now for you to choose from? If you did a
little digging, I bet you’d find 50 or so. Maybe 10 really worth checking out. But right
now is a bit of a weird period in e-reader history. The Kindle cemented e-readers in the
consumer headspace, catapulting them from weirdo alternative technology to mainstream gadget.
That’s what the iPad threatens to do with
tablets — we’ll see about that. But the Kindle and the iPad are two important forces
in the current e-reader wars; the question, upon the answer of which depends the success of many
a device, is whether “bonus” features like second screens and weird form factors in
e-readers will be enough to differentiate them from the high-profile devices pressing them on
both flanks?
Take a second to imagine it as a battle between three armies. On one side of the field is the
steadfast Kindle Corps, seasoned and numerous. On the other is the glorious Apple Brigade,
untried in e-reader combat but veteran of other battles. In between them is a menagerie of Sony,
Asus, and miscellaneous independent mercenaries, bristling with foreign and barbaric weapons,
gathering together only because they don’t stand a chance by themselves. In real life, they
are not gathered at all, but that doesn’t work with the metaphor. Maybe they have a
non-aggression pact or something, I don’t know. Regardless, the battle is about to begin.
See, the vast majority of e-readers were designed as a response to the Kindle, not to tablet
computers, which may or may not obsolete e-readers altogether. It’s a bad situation:
the whole time you’re improving your competitor’s product, someone else is skipping
your entire device class on the grounds that it will be made ridiculous by their awesome
gadget. Some of the special features developed to combat the Kindle will stay, and some
won’t live to see their own first birthday.
Personally, I think e-readers will stick around next to tablet computers, since it’s just
as much of a problem for a device to do too much as it is for it to do too
little. You may not want your e-mail and browsing device to be the same as your reading
device. And of course the Kindle isn’t the end of all readers: the generation currently
being released has among its members a few interesting features… and a few duds.
Let’s take a look.
The nook
is what people think of when this type of e-reader is brought up, and for good reason. It’s
a sexy little bugger. Now, compare it to its rivals: the upcoming
Spring Design Alex and the Entourage
Edge. What do you see? A larger secondary screen. Better, right? Unfortunately, the secondary
screen does two things that pretty much sabotage the idea.
First, it takes away from the readable area (the main screen); 90% of the time you are using an
e-reader, you are reading. That is the device’s stated purpose. When you put in a
secondary screen, you are subtracting from the functional part of your device. I think it’s
an unstated but obvious goal of design that your device should primarily do what it
does.
Second, it implies uselessness on the part of the e-ink screen for UI stuff, and suggests to the
consumer “If you want to do stuff other than read e-books, you’re better off with a
device that’s all secondary screen.” It’s like admitting a strike
against your product before the consumer even sees it. Bad idea.
Not to mention having a color LCD screen raises the cost of the device considerably. It is for
these reasons that I think the secondary screen is a one-generation fluke, not likely to be seen
again after 2010.
There actually aren’t many that fall under this category, but they are on their way, and I
believe this is something that will stick around. Depending on the technology used (Mirasol,
pigment
pores), there may be no downside to having a color screen other than cost. That is to say
that reflectivity, weight, responsiveness, contrast, and resolution will remain the same, except
now you have color (however washed out in these first devices).
As I said, there are practically none of these devices on the market right now. Asus
has an OLED-based one it wants to push, but at six inches it’s not very tempting, and
of course it’ll be expensive. And it’s more of a tablet anyway, so it gets ignored.
But you can bet that Amazon, Sony, and every other company is pushing display R&D like none
other trying to get color e-ink to work for a decent price. We’ll probably have a few
announcements this year, but no products until next CES.
On the other hand, we already have Pixel
Qi, which may beg the question of color e-ink before the latter is even viable. On that
front, we have the popular Notion Ink Adam, demoed
here, which is one of the few devices which genuinely falls under both the e-reader and
tablet categories. Personally I’m bullish about it, though I’m afraid it may crumple
under the combined pressure of Amazon and Apple, both of which will be gunning for it.
At any rate, color is here to stay. Whether it’s an unexploited e-ink technology or a
hybrid like Pixel Qi, you better believe that color will huge in the next year. Not only does it
open up capability for running some applications, but it also lets the device and creator tap
into the huge academic book market, which needs color. Believe me, I wouldn’t have
passed my Neuroanatomy classes with a black and white textbook.
Are you kidding me? Almost every interactive device in the world is going to be touchable by the
end of 2010. Any e-readers that don’t have this feature by the holidays are going to be
laughed at long and hard. Touchscreens you can write on are going to be key as well; if your
e-reader can replace the “back of the napkin” sketches, diagrams, and calculations
you do already, then hell, why not?
The Entourage
Edge needs another mention here, since it has that book-like format, but as I noted before,
that actually ends up being a weakness. You’re splitting your functionality and essentially
the user can only use half the device at any given time, and is all the while thinking
“Man, I wish the other half of this thing didn’t exist right now.” The
Courier, which obviously is not e-reader but tablet, solves this by having both sides active
at all times. Not possible for the Edge.
Here’s a tough one: the
Samsung E6. Its slider form factor reminds one of their slider phones —
this thing in particular. But there are plenty of objections here. You see it and immediately
think, “an e-reader with moving parts? No thanks.” I mean really, simplicity is key
with a device that’s meant to replace a paperback. And anyone will be able to tell
you’re doing something wrong when you need a whole huge sliding mechanism just to reveal a
D-pad and a couple buttons that could easily have been put where the Samsung logo is. And the
speakers are on it too! What the hell, guys? Well, we can all agree that the E6 is going to sell
about three units. I think sliders are out.
But what about a sliding QWERTY keyboard? I haven’t seen one of those yet, but I’m
afraid it might have the same issues as the E6. Besides, better displays means better on-screen
keyboards. These things aren’t meant for typing anyway. Leave it to tablet computers to
figure this out.
What about ultra-slim? Hey, why not? My favorite e-book
reader out there is the Plastic Logic
Que, for no other reason than that it’s slim and handsome, just like me. Seriously
though, a touchscreen (however primitive) and a thin, refined design will sell against the most
robust competitors, and the Que is refined as all hell (though sadly,
delayed). If someone really and truly just wants to read books and magazines on an e-ink
screen, they don’t want or need anything else, but they do care whether it looks
like they’re reading a gigantic BlackBerry or not. Slim, buttonless designs will stay. You
can be sure the next Kindle will have one (though will likely keep its signature side buttons).
Flexibility? The Skiff is
working at this, and it’s something e-ink and (kind of) OLEDs are uniquely capable of at
the moment, but I get the feeling it’s going to end up on the low-end devices. See, as long
as a consumer is paying $400 or so for a device like this, I think that for the time being, they
are going to want build quality that suggests that. They want glass, metal, rigidity, sturdiness,
all that. Until you can actually roll or fold up your e-reader, I don’t see this
being a big selling point. But don’t count it out completely; this feature isn’t
dead, it’s just sleeping.
Another tough one. I don’t have a problem with Android on e-readers — it adds a
little credibility somehow, and I’m sure there are going to be a few apps (if there
aren’t already) that are meant to run only on e-readers, for customizing this or that, or
finding free books. If Android is to be the de facto OS of e-readers, so be it. I feel
that Chrome OS will be too much for an e-reader, so it doesn’t pose a threat, nor any of
the other mobile or free OSes. They could just as easily run a different Linux-based OS, but
Android has name recognition and probably some handy 3G and mobile wi-fi stacks.
There is the issue, however, that in some devices Android does more to show what the device is
not capable of that what it is. Look at
this little thing from Gigabyte. The OS looks completely out of place there, and is a mess to
navigate.
As for Apps in general, well, I think we’ll see a basic stable of apps develop —
things that are applicable to e-ink screens, probably features that the creators should have
included. Most e-readers don’t have the kind of displays or usage patterns as other Android
devices, so lots of the Marketplace will be pointless. And as for other apps, I guarantee
anything worth getting will be integrated into the second generation of the reader as a native
function. Color screens and better responsiveness might change this (as would a Pixel Qi rout)
but for now I’m saying Apps aren’t going to win any battles. Besides, Apple’s
got them licked there.
It should be noted that there are plenty of perfectly nice-looking e-book readers out there that
are not “special” in any way.
Look at this Asus one. Doesn’t it look nice? Yes. But the competition will bury it
unless it’s stupid cheap. The Kindle clones will disappear because the vanilla
Kindle form factor and feature set will start to show its age to casual consumers this year,
especially as alternative and open book stores begin to proliferate (options!) and alternative
e-readers penetrate the collective attention bubble. And of course you can expect a totally new
device from Amazon this year as well, though they got
a bit of a late start.
And what will be the effect of the iPad on all this? I don’t want to say much on this,
because there’s still a lot to be learned about that device. I said earlier that e-readers
will exist alongside tablets for some time, and I stand by that. If people really like to read
books on a device of this form factor, I doubt the iPad (or similar devices) will be their only
device.
Personally, I’m sticking with books, and looking forward to tablets as a way to
read newspapers and magazines, which obviously require color and a net connection, neither of
which is a guarantee with the current or impending generation of e-readers. I’ll be
interested to see how my predictions fare against reality, but I think I’m on solid ground
with most of them.

Ohe, J. - Uchida, K. - Mizuguchi, M. - Umezawa, H. - Kawai, H. - Ando, K. - Takanashi, K. -
Maekawa, S. - Saitoh, E.Journal: NatureThe energy bandgap of an insulator is large enough to
prevent electron excitation and electrical conduction. But in addition to charge, an electron also
has spin, and the collective motion of spin can propagate-and so transfer a signal-in some
insulators. This motion is called a spin wave and is usually excited using magnetic fields. Here we
show that a spin wave in an insulator can be generated and detected using spin-Hall effects, which
enable the direct conversion of an electric signal into a spin wave, and its subsequent
transmission through (and recovery from) an insulator over macroscopic distances. First, we show
evidence for the transfer of spin angular momentum between an insulator magnet Y(3)Fe(5)O(12) and a
platinum film. This transfer allows direct conversion of an electric current in the platinum film
to a spin wave in the Y(3)Fe(5)O(12) via spin-Hall effects. Second, making use of the transfer in a
Pt/Y(3)Fe(5)O(12)/Pt system, we demonstrate that an electric current in one metal film induces
voltage in the other, far distant, metal film. Specifically, the applied electric current is
converted into spin angular momentum owing to the spin-Hall effect in the first platinum film; the
angular momentum is then carried by a spin wave in the insulating Y(3)Fe(5)O(12) layer; at the
distant platinum film, the spin angular momentum of the spin wave is converted back to an electric
voltage. This effect can be switched on and off using a magnetic field. Weak spin damping in
Y(3)Fe(5)O(12) is responsible for its transparency for the transmission of spin angular momentum.
This hybrid electrical transmission method potentially offers a means of innovative signal delivery
in electrical circuits and devices.post to:

Harbor East is hosting an art opening called "Tools, Trash and Technology - A 25-year retrospective
of the Art and Design of Marque Cornblatt." Marque's whimsical, clever creations have been featured
on BB and MAKE. The event runs March 10-April 4, 2010 and is open Wednesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 7
p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Opening reception for the artist Friday March 12, 5-8 PM Cornblatt
will personally be in the gallery each afternoon, offering hands-on demos and opportunities to
operate the robots. San Francisco-based and Baltimore native artist Marque Cornblatt will be
presenting a 25-year retrospective of his work in Harbor East in Retail Suite 102 of The Legg Mason
Tower. The exhibition will include self portraits, interactive sculptures, web-based robots, and
video, as well as examples of Cornblatt furniture and interior design. This 25-year retrospective
represents Cornblatt's return to exhibiting on the East Coast and his first major exhibition in
Baltimore. From the very first Sony Watchman to portable DVD players, no technology is off-limits
to Cornblatt's creative eye. Using found objects, broken toys and re-purposed electronics,
Cornblatt creates sculptures that challenge ideas about technology and the self. His recent use of
videogames and virtual reality to create self-portraits offers a glimpse into the future of digital
identity. Cornblatt's will also be presenting the Sparky project, his pioneering interactive
videochat robot. First shown in 1996, Sparky has evolved from an assemblage of mixed parts into a
worldwide network of telepresence robots capable of connecting people face-to-face in real time
over the internet. The gallery will be furnished with examples of Cornblatt's handmade design and
housewares, including cardboard furniture, metal and glass tables, candleholders, chess sets and
object d'art made from scrap metal and other recycled materials. Tools, Trash and Technology - A

Back in the early nineties, we all thought that the video
games of 2010 would be with goggles and a toy gun. We were wrong with Virtual Boy, and we never
figured out a way to get a player to run in a game while standing still in the gaming area.
Better late than never, VirtuSphere is here to bring our virutal reality dreams to life. As you
can see, the VirtuSphere looks like the Ball of Death from The Simpsons Movie, and it
allows a player to move somewhat freely in any direction for the game that they want to play.
There is a video after the jump, and you can see that it takes a team to get a player in this
giant, metal, stationary hamster ball. To me, it looks just plain unsteady. I would think that it
would get used to, but this player in the vid does not even trip once. The game that he’s
playing doesn’t look very good, though. Couldn’t they set it up for Metroid
Prime or Tomb Raider?
This video was taken at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, and, as you might have
guessed, it would be quite expensive to get it on your own. It would cost about $55,000.00, and
you would need a lot of space to make it work. Not to mention a team to lock you in, I guess.
I’ve heard that there will be one at the Excalibur in Las Vegas. Maybe I’ll check it
out during next year’s CES.

(Today's post inspired by the ghost of Andy Rooney.) Don't we get to have our cheap movie
clichés anymore? The well-shod feet walking away in the rain... the lonely figure in
silhouette, illuminated by headlights at the mouth of a dark alley... the mirrored medicine cabinet
that swings shut to reveal the knife-wielding maniac? These are movie inventions, and every one
carries with it the emotional aura of a thousand iterations in a thousand films, and all those
images add up to a part of cultural memory. Which is where they should stay. Who needs them here in
the real world with us, where it's raining and the neighbors are blasting death metal and I really
don't like the looks of that mole on my shoulder? What I'm saying is, do we really need a calendar
in which the pages automatically sever themselves and fall to the ground? This is, of course, a
venerable movie device to signal the passage of time. Here in the actual world, however, it's an
advertising gimmick cooked up by a German agency. Parenthetically, it seems worth noting that the
pages don't fall as much as they do plummet, which sends a subliminal message that is perhaps even
more dark than intended. (Message: Time is passing, and it is passing really really fast.) Also,
the connection to the advertised product (leaf blowers?) is tenuous at best. So here's a plea to
advertisers: Let our movie clichés stay in the cineplex where they belong. On the big screen
they're iconography, weighted with memory and meaning. Out here in the everyday world, they're just
weird. (This just in: Apparently Andy Rooney is still alive.)...
