Skylar Tibbits: Can we make things that make themselves?
September 7th, 2011
MIT researcher Skylar Tibbits works on self-assembly — the idea that instead of building something (a chair, a skyscraper), we can create materials that build themselves, much the way a strand of DNA zips itself together. It’s a big concept at early stages; Tibbits shows us three in-the-lab projects that hint at what a self-assembling future might look like.

Color Theory Diagram
September 9th, 2010
Thought I would share this little ditty. Always was an Ansel Adam’s Zone Theory, and primarily a Black & White system for talking about lightness and darkness in an image. So color for me has always been a bit of mystery. A mystery that always seems to show it’s face when I see how others seem to experience color. Understanding basic theory of how color’s relate is important to me right now, and a fascinating process too. Found this chart, and thought it was informative, as well as a pretty simple design that goes a bit deeper into the relationships.
