Microsoft Tablet Computer…The Courier
I’m not a Microsoft or Apple fanboy of any kind, but this new concept looks promising from Microsoft. Â More of a book than a tablet, the Courier supports a stylus for handwriting and includes a 3-megapixel camera on the back.
Inspirational Sites About Design…
I thought I’d post my top inspirational design sites, that get my creative juices flowing. These are sites that I can spend hours on, reading and clicking around. They are in no particular order. Â Â
Monocle
Launched in February 2007, Monocle is a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design. Developed for an international audience hungry for information across a variety of sectors, Monocle’s team of award-winning editors and correspondents have been drawn from The New York Times, The Independent on Sunday, the BBC, CBC and a host of other news and current affairs outlets.
More of a book than a magazine, Monocle’s designed to be highly portable (it’s lightweight and compact) and collectable (it’s thick and robust). On-line, the focus is on broadcasting with a wide array of films, slide shows and audio reports.
Some highlights:
- An interview with Paula Scher of Pentagram
- A novel kind of kindergarten in Tachikawa
- CEO of Lego
UPDATE: Dan HIll’s personal site, City of Sound, Â has a great write-up on the under takings of creating the site for Monocle.com.
