I saw both of these this weekend
Rollerball pen draws electronic circuits on paper
Love this kind of thing:
A team of researchers from the University of Illinois have created a pen with conductive silver ink that can be used to draw electrical circuits on paper, wood and other materials. Although similar pens are already available, the difference here is that the ink is bendable when dry, meaning that even if the paper is folded or bent, the circuit will still function normally.

The researchers have also been able to add components to their hand-drawn circuits, including a flexible LED display, three-dimensional radio-frequency antennas and a battery.

Wonderful series of interior shots and brief history of The Divine Lorraine, the luxury apartments cum hotel cum cultish religious center located on North Broad Street in Philadelphia. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places for both architect’s Willis G. Hale’s lavish Late Victorian design and for being the first hotel in the U.S to be fully racially integrated, it is beautiful, falling apart, and right out my window.
Hat tip to Paula for the link!

The Design, a beautiful stop motion by Czech animator Jiří Barta, uses architectural drawing to visually underline the suppression of individualism by the designers of the Soviet-era tower blocks that surround Prague. If nothing else, it’s a stop motion to put most of YouTube to shame. (via Jiří Barta: Stop motion and Soviet-era architecture - Core77)
