Urban Tapestries
by Josh Rubin
I've been thinking about, and looking forward to this for years. I consider it the digital, indexed equivalent to the writing on public bathroom walls... A sort of spatial bookmarking. This project, based in London, takes it one step closer to reality.
Urban Tapestries allows users to author their own virtual annotations of the city, enabling a communityís collective memory to grow organically, allowing ordinary citizens to embed social knowledge in the new wireless landscape of the city. Users will be able to add new locations, location content and the ëthreadsí which link individual locations to local contexts, which are accessed via handheld user devices such as PDAs and mobile phones.

My all time favorite sneaker, the Nike Air Zoom Haven, is back! This time in all leather. The limited edition run will include 3000 pairs of black with white stitching and another 3000 pairs or white with dark brown stitching. They are rumored to be part of an upcoming Shadow Apparel campaign.

Sony DSC-T1
by Josh Rubin
The Sony DSC-T1 is the smallest 5 Megapixel camera in the world. It also has a 3x optical zoom, but the mechanics are on the inside of the camera. The display on the back is huge and the color quality is pretty great. Best of all, the software is incredibly fast, which means no waiting between snapping photos or during playback.
get the DSC-T1 for $499.95 at Amazon
The Meatrix
by Josh Rubin
The Meatrix borrows the style of the Matrix to make a point about the horrors of factory farming. Watch the movie, then check out these sites for some great resources on eating well and responsibly:
Farm to Table where you can connect to top New York State farmers and vintners, and find out how and where you can buy their products.
Grace Factory Farm Project who's goal is to eliminate factory farming in favor of a sustainable food production system which is healthful and humane, economically viable and ecologically sound.
Sustainable Table who offers education and resources to eat smarter and shop responsibly.
