Form Follows Function Forever - IKEA 1965

Cool pics of an old IKEA catalog from 1965. What blows me away is how many of the pieces could be on the showroom floor today and wouldn't look out of place.

The Matrix is Not Quite There Yet

Tried out a new thing called 16apps. The gist of it is that they will scan your Twitter history and tell you the iPhone applications you may be interested in based on the kind of person you appear to be.

Apparently, I am quite the boring tweeter.



What's worse is that the tweet this info is pulled from refers to cattle, not felines.

You can read it here, if you care to read the ramblings of a sentient being who's only redeeming quality seems to be that he may or may not own livestock.

Social - Google to pay you for going viral. You decide if you'll pay your friends.

It looks like Google has found a way to make some money off of those YouTube videos that grab hold of the moment and skyrocket to infamy across the web.

The good news is that they will be sharing the profits with the creators of these viral darlings. The bad news will likely come when you find out that funny video of your grandma farting only got you five dollars despite a hundred-thousand hits.

The worse news may come when you find yourself with a nice pile of cash for a video you "created" by filming your friends doing something stupid, and said friends come calling for their cut.

Just hope that none of your friends join SAG and bring that hailstorm of trouble your way.
