The journopimps over at the New York Times apparently dumb down their headlines for Google. This is pretty interesting as it may point the way towards a new form of writing more kin to madlibs than to formal linguistic composition. One day we could see news articles which dynamically adapt to colloquial or even personal language variances. You could read an article and find comfort in the fact that you know all the words and that there is nothing over two syllables included. You may opt for a lexicon expanding form of news delivery. The same articles could adapt to how individuals or groups want to read them.

Peter is producing some nice work. We are especially interested in his paperworks which are so charming you may just end up with a broken heart.

Steve Bond’s Spruce Moose flew for seven glorious seconds and thoroughly schooled all competition thus proving it to be the ultimate paper plane design.Young engineering students work out how to 1up each other with their designs looking for inspiration from jets, birds, et cetera. You don’t have to go through all that trouble though. Just follow this guide of sixteen easy steps.

Spidron System

SpidronDániel Erdély and company have developed a system of geometries which allow them to play spatially in much the same way as modular origami geometries. This stuff is a good reminder that mathematics are still pretty hot in 2005.
