    an interesting site that aims to tell you "everything about a web site." So far most of the data they offer is available elsewhere. However the presentation is amazing
  • Shapeways Creator - 3D Design Without the Need for CAD Skills
    knowledge of CAD is the gateway to manufacture (assuming we are not talking about craft production), and without that knowledge it doesn’t matter how easy it is to upload and pay for a model to be produced, it’s not going to be embraced by consumers without the time or interest to learn a 3D modelling program

    Objects are moving to process, which for me means a move from a concrete identity to an ever-changing state of being.

    A study published this month by a coalition of student public interest research groups (PIRGs) has identified key problems with e-textbooks, and it calls for schools and publishers to adopt open content licenses, such as those offered by Creative Commons.
  • Art design for the masses, chosen by the masses | News - Cutting Edge - CNET News
    It's hard to predict whether car art will sweep the nation (most likely, not), but Infectious is just one of a new generation of graphic designer collectives that are finding new avenues to sell their artwork--from car graffiti to stationery to sneakers and skateboards.
  • Minted.com - Wedding Invitations, Letterpress Invitations, Save the Date Cards from the best independent stationery brands
    a venture-capital-backed site that launched this summer, takes the idea for crowdsourced high-end design to the $10 billion annual stationery business.
