Lovehorns

I’m just putting the finishing touches on Lovehorns.com. Kyle Jackson an artist from Nova Scotia Canada has been in the studio developing his latest series of interactive art called the lovehorn.

The Lovehorn is an interactive art sculpture offering a fun and imaginative way to express yourself and start conversations. Honking this happy rubber horn, housed in a custom carved and painted box sculpture ( 1 foot sq. x 4 inch deep), makes you smile, transmits your emotions and sends out a charming, colourful, and contemplative message.

This is the ultimate hug maker, honking this horn can mean any number of things, from lets get silly to I need some loving. Have a look at the site and let me know what you think.

kawasakis 10-20-30 Rule for Presentations.

I’ve been doing corporate presentations for many years and found this article to be very true. Guy Kawasaki’s punch line is

presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.

Guy further identifying the contents of your business plan presentation:

The ten topics that a venture capitalist cares about are:

  1. Problem
  2. Your solution
  3. Business model
  4. Underlying magic/technology
  5. Marketing and sales
  6. Competition
  7. Team
  8. Projections and milestones
  9. Status and timeline
  10. Summary and call to action

Potenco’s Pull-Cord Generator

Saul Griffith is a next generation inventor who founded Squid Labs. Among the numerous projects to come out of the creative lab is the pull-cord generator which is being marketed by Potenco.

(PCG) keeps portable electronic devices working all the time while providing freedom and independence from traditional power sources.

They state on their web site that the PCG will generate 3 hours play time on an iPod Shuffle (about one pull per song).You can view Saul’s TED lecture here at the home of creative thinkers.

GrupRobotics.com

This is a recent project which I’ve been participating in as one of the founders. We have set up this group to help foster interest and knowledge in the field of Robotics. The principal languages of this community are Spanish and Catalan, although english is also represented. We are mainly focused on activities , forums, conferences and such originating in Europe and more specifically Spain. If you’re a bot nut, join the group, or just stop in and check it out.
