RISD San Francisco Alumni Sale 2009

Another December means the Bay Area RISD alumni gather at Fort Mason to sell their wares to eager holiday shoppers. The event also brings the RISD family together in a sort of informal reunion. CritBuns made a splash, selling out of the inventory. This year many of the customers were yoga and meditation students. Having tried zen practice recently, I concur the buns do make a great meditation cushion. By propping your hips off the ground, the foam cheeks also take pressure off your tailbone. This in turn encourages better posture, which is key to meditating.

Thanks again to everyone who attended, and to the many people now enjoying enlightened sitting.

The Dreamlifter: Boeing's mega plane

The craziest thing about this plane is that it was built with the sole purpose to transport parts for this plane.

More Boeing mega-madness: The Dreamlifter

via Core77 on 11/27/09

One more thing about Boeing's Dreamliner, which is fascinating from a manufacturing perspective: Rather than produce the behemoth at a single plant, Boeing has spread component production out over no less than nine countries (the U.S., the U.K., Canada, France, Italy, Russia, Japan, Australia, and India) with final assembly done Stateside. So how do they get the gi-normous, partially-finished fuselage from Nagoya, Japan to Charleston, South Carolina and then Everett, Washington? By using these beasts:

Those are what Boeing is calling "Dreamlifters," heavily modified 747s purchased from China that have a volume of 65,000 cubic feet. They're seven stories high and swallow more than 52,000 gallons of fuel in their tanks.

Boeing has stated that the Dreamlifters were made purely for transporting Dreamliners and that they will not be manufacturing any for sale. Which is too bad, because you just know that somewhere some oil sheik is looking at this thing going "I have to have one of these! I must!"

Litl computer launches; will it make a big splash?

I was pleasantly surprised to discover the litl - a small computer design specifically for the home. It doesn't have a hard drive, menus, or function keys. It's exclusively for consuming content, complete with easel mode and 4-button remote. The design looks sleek, with credit to Aaron Tang (a former RISD Industrial Design classmate). Whether the $700 price point will resonate with consumers remains to be seen, but kudos to litl, Aaron, and the team for re-thinking how a home computer can look and function. (Additional points for a great name). Learn more at www.litl.com.
