Here’s a quick mental exercise for you. Imagine you were faced with a fight, in which you knew your opponent was bigger, stronger, more experienced, and had access to the best facilities, trainers, and coaches money could buy. Would you step into the ring? It’s a terrible analogy, but those kind of Rocky odds are what nearly every new independent brand faces today. Amazingly, despite having the...

The technological revolution that has been ushered in by affordable technology and powerful processors has provided ordinary people with the tools to create everything from photos and videos to virtual architecture and even complex 3D models. Consider that on average, YouTube users upload the equivalent of 240,000 full-length films every week, more than 250 million photos are uploaded...

Forget Shoes and Handbags (Just for a Moment),...

Technology is great and all (and we couldn’t survive without it), but let’s be honest: it’s not always great looking. Touchscreens, portable readers and laptops have traditionally been boxy and boring. While that trend is slowly changing as tech becomes sleeker, fashion is helping to speed the process up a bit. Luckily, designers know that we, as both technology and shopping addicts, want to...

I spent a day on the road with videographer Sean Sullivan as he started his month long journey on the road documenting the American West on a project called Ramblers Bone with photographer Mikael Kennedy. The trip started out as the duo picked up their RV in Los Angeles and drove towards Joshua Tree National Park where they plan on shooting and spending the night…  To see the full post...

16 Ways Technology is Mapping the Universe

For most of us, the mapping technology we use on a daily basis is limited to dash-mounted GPS units. No disrespect — I mean, just 10 years ago we were dependent on hard-copy road atlases to get where we were going; cutting-edge meant route-finding in Mapquest and then printing off the pages. But as you read this, hundreds of teams of scientists are working with vastly more complex technologies...

Front Burner Tweet Me Right: The Joy of Cooking in...

Last week, a friend I talk to about matters both intellectual and, well, food, offered me a slice of homemade plum tart. It was hard to ask for the recipe with my mouth so full, but I tried. She mentioned that she’d tweeted at work about needing a diversion. Could someone send her an entire recipe in a tweet? Someone could and, in 140 characters or less, a recipe exchange — and a ‘Tweet...

5 Iconic Sound Bites in Tech

When done right, nothing is more instantly recognizable and associable as a catchy sound bite. Once upon a time, instantly recognizable jingles were the backbone of the advertising industry. Today, audio clips are a little more pervasive, considering our seeming dependence on electronic devices. Receive a phone call? Catchy tune. Get an email? Catchy sound bite. Turn on just about any modern...

The vast majority of us have simple and yet increasingly powerful “daily carries.” This morning for example, I threw my Acer netbook + usb mouse and keyboard in my bag and was off to work. I can get 90% of my daily responsibilities done with this gear alone, and can do it anywhere with wifi. At present I’m editing this from Battle Cat, my neighborhood cafe.

As high-speed internet became cheaper and more widely available, local multiplayer videogames ceded ground to online gaming.

Today, the term “social gaming” refers to a specific brand of manipulative, crowd-sourced virtual chores in which friends are treated more like resources than … well, friends. But to...

How the United States Will Return to Space

On July 21, the Space Shuttle Atlantis landed for the last time, ending three decades of missions in space. With the conclusion of the Shuttle program, the quest to restore the United States’ ability to send astronauts beyond the Earth became far more urgent. Though NASA has been working on a new vehicle since 2004, it also began supporting a number of home-grown commercial space operations.
