What Should I Read Next? by Carol T Chung
For those of us that still enjoy and find the time to read actual books in this day and age, What Should I Read Next? is a little gift from the Database Gods that encourages literacy and for me to give my poor eyes a rest from my alternate life as an RSS crawler. It's fairly simple. You go to the website, enter a book you like, and based on other people's book lists, it spits out a list of other books you may enjoy. From there, you can create your own book list by entering your email address, which will stop the database from recommending books that you've already read as well as increase the pool of books in the database. This project is owned by Thoughtplay, a creative agency based in the UK, and was programmed by 3aims.

While the unfussy approach of The is part...

Stratocruiser
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a blimp...no, it's the gorgeous, futuristic-looking Stratocrusier, currently in concept form by Tino Schaedler and Michael J. Brown. Calling it a "lifestyle zeppelin," the duo designed the white airship as the latest offering in luxury travel that refreshes passengers instead of leaving them dry, dehydrated and jet lagged, a consequence travelers have come to expect. The key...

Wired NextFest 2007
From ideas that ran from the creepy (like regenerated body parts including bladders) to conceptually fascinating (like a harp with strings made from lasers and a Lifestraw that kills sinister infectious organisms in water upon contact), over 160 exhibitors at the 4th annual Wired NextFest in Los Angeles this past weekend enthusiastically revealed their visions of the future to receptive nerds of all ages....
