FoldIt – gamers vs. HIV?
Ages ago I went to a Russell Davies talk in which he spoke about the Google ESP game, which turned a tricky task for a robot (tagging images) into a fun game for humans. Clever stuff. Though computers think quicker than we do and are great with the complex calculations, humans are still much better [...]

I was at Science Museum Lates last night, and two things struck me: 1) It’s a bloody awesome date venue (OK, so you might not look your sexiest when dressed as a cockroach*, but there’s lots of playful stuff to do together, and you can appear very knowledgeable while pottering around, even if you’re a [...]

Playing with your food
Always an inspiration to see this sort of stuff. Very daft elaborate sculptures made from food featured in today’s Guardian. I love the impermenance of it and also the thought process that drives someone to model a life-size Dita von Teese out of cheese. I’ve only posted a few below, but check out the Guardian [...]

Creativity boosters
Happy March everyone. OK, obviously it’s far too early in the morning for a proper update, but I’ve just come across a PSFK post called ‘25 ways to overcome creative blocks‘, so I thought I’d fling in a quick link, so we can kick off the month with a nice little creative surge. Basically San [...]
