WSJ reports Yahoo board has approved a $1.1 billion deal — in cash — to purchase Tumblr.

There it is.

it’s the beginning of the end

Ugh. So does anyone have a place where we can migrate too once Tumblr starts going down the shitter?

No matter how hard they try to come off as though money isn’t an issue as Karp did in the beginning when he refused to use ads, they all fold in the end. I’m not going to act like I know what this means for tumblr, but if the history of social networking sites is an indication, most if not all of them go to shit. If that’s the case, we definitely had a long run.

STURDY ‘ABOD’ PREFAB STRUCTURES FOR $6,000 HOUSING

There are so many reasons to have great prefab housing for those in need, and in lower-income areas. While it’s not drywall and foundation based, these homes come compact and easy to deliver with simple installation instructions. With Abod homes able to reach the far corners of the world and people who need it most, this can revolutionize housing for the poverty stricken parts of the globe.

“With robots, we are inventing a new species that is part material and part digital. The ambition of modern robotics goes beyond copying humans, beyond the effort to make walking, talking androids that are indistinguishable from people. Future robots will have superhuman abilities in both the physical and digital realms. They will be embedded in our physical spaces, with the ability to go where we cannot, and will have minds of their own, thanks to atificial intelligence. They will be fully connected to the digital world, far better at carrying out online tasks than we are. In Robot Futures, the roboticist Illah Reza Nourbakhsh considers how we will share our world with these creatures, and how our society could change as it incorporates a race of stronger, smarter beings.”

All 120 Geralds will be on display in May 2013 in New York and will be published in book form too. You can purchase my Gerald here. More information about the project and exhibition here.

The Crimean Pinecone Lamp by Pavel Eekra

The Crimean Pinecone Lamp consists of 56 (42) plates and screws held without an internal frame. Light passes through gaps between the rounded forms of the plaques, which are slightly transparent themselves. This creates a special ambient pattern of light from the outside, while still exuding a practical downward-directed brightness. The lamp, which comes in a flat pack, has a natural wood veneer (beech), which further emphasizes the Crimean Pinecone’s fusion of nature and technology.
