Brilliant Raspberry Pi Build That Is Like A Babysitter For Hurt Bird
It's heartwarming when technology improves the lives of people around the world, and it's also touching when it reaches over into the lives of animals. Recently I wrote about a duck named Buttercup who was born with a backwards foot. His owner 3D printed him a new webbed foot, and after an intense s ...
Project Google Birdhouse: Google Maps Icon Inspired Birdhouses
The Google Maps icon is one of the most famous icons in the world. It's instantly recognizable, and it has become a symbol of navigation and directions. When we see the Google Maps icon, we know we are close to our destination, or at least on the right track. Artist Shuchun Hsiao is apparently a big ...
Preliminary Sketches From The Twitter Bird Logo Redesign
We all know that the new Twitter bird logo was launched last summer, but what we didn't know until today is what went into the creation of that new bird. As funny as these sketches are, they say more to me about the creative process and inspiration as a whole than they do about the Twitter bird rede ...
Twitter Explains The New Bird Logo
It has always been interesting to me how some companies spend years developing their brand and how they want people to view them only to go and change it all up because something no longer seems to make sense from a design perspective. We have seen it over and over again. The most visible of these c ...
12 Bird Nests In Unusual Places: Get Inspired By Nature
I've always had a soft spot for bird nests and the baby birds that the mamas take care of inside those nests. I've written before about Tweet-Tweet, my childhood pet. Tweet-Tweet was a wild sparrow that I rescued after he fell out of his nest. After he was strong again, I tried to let him go back in ...
Twitter Paper Toy: For The Seriously Addicted Tweeps
So what does it mean to be addicted to Twitter? That's a question many people have tried to answer. The scale has many ratings and what seems like perfectly normal behavior for some is considered beyond addiction to others. The fine line between these camps would be much too hard to explain, so I ...
Eggs for Rich People: An Example of Brilliant Brand Marketing
One thing that has always fascinated me from a marketing and branding perspective is how some savvy marketers are able to appeal to a certain demographic of people, and as a result of their success, they are able to demand a higher price for their product.

An Origami Tea Bag – Appreciate The Simple Things In Life
I don't know what it is with hot tea and me lately, but I feel like a little kid who is discovering something new.

Robotic Bird Surveillance #FAIL
Surveillance is a huge business in the world, and it equates to billions of dollars in revenue for companies trying to make our every day a little safer. I can promise you, unless you're in the jungle (even there you can be seen from satellites) that you won't go one entire day without being captur ...

One Minute Twitter Bird Film To Make You Smile
Twitter is a part of my everyday life, as it probably is yours. I am often tweeting at home, while I’m working.
