“Picasso’s Guernica painting turns 75 years old this year, and in order to have it restored, Madrid’s Reina Sofia museum has designed a robot capable of scanning the entire painting for signs of wear and places where restoration is needed the most. The museum teamed up with Spanish telecommunication company Telefonica to build Pablito, as it’s now called, and the robot goes to work every night taking thousands of high-resolution pictures of the famous black and white anti-war painting.” (Reuters) [Feb, 2012]
Very cool.

iPad First
“In terms of sheer power, my MacBook Pro greatly exceeds my iPad. The smaller device is simply less capable, but maybe that’s the point.”
What’s interesting about the article, and the iPad in general, is that here’s a device that’s been around a few years now and people who’ve owned one for a while are still discovering it as a new thing. It’s like we bought it thinking it was this one thing, but over time it’s become another.
The Diary of Due: Today, I ship my third app
I haven’t shipped many apps, but each time I do, it seems to mark a milestone for me.
My first was Due for iPhone, which debut on the App Store close to three years ago on September 2010, and kickstarted my journey as an app developer.
My second was Due for Mac, which I shipped about a year ago,…
Looks promising so far. I’ve tried a couple other email replacement apps for iPhone, but they didn’t really feel like much of an improvement over the build-in app. Hopefully, this one will be different.
So far, so good.
Two suggestions:
1. Needs a sound on/off toggle
2. The developer should really bring a proper version of this one to the iPad. (Although using it in 2x mode on an iPad Mini makes for an interesting experience.)

The Butcher's Bill
“Of these devices, half were for what we might call failures - damage not resulting from user action - and the other half were damage. Interestingly, our battery failure rate remains at a steady 0%.”
A summary of iPad failures from fall 2010 through the present as part of a 1:1 school technology program.
Impressive numbers, both in terms of product quality and user-related issues as well. (After all, these are kids we’re talking about and how children treat such devices is often used as an argument against such programs.)
“ Art should never be Interesting. Wikipedia is Interesting. Nightmares are Interesting. But to feign Interest in other people’s art is just smug. Don’t be so fond and fatherly about it … The real reason to go to an art gallery is to witness a small number of people elaborate publicly on their own confused striving, beyond explanation or accountability or compromise. You don’t see that just anywhere. In a gallery, one finds all the raw elements of fear and desire, the most dim and keening shapes, smiling strangely from the backyards of awareness and submitted painfully for general inspection. This is not what you might find at, say, Boston Pizza. ”
Stupid for Art, Mark Mann (via studiesinsemicolons)
Also this:
“we try to make art Interesting when we should just let it be weird.”
Triggers
Excellent, thoughtful article on what the author calls, “Mad. Furious. Instantaneous rage.” (I have no idea what he could possibly be talking about.)
Also, we might have a few things in common.
Just One Device — First Today, Then Tomorrow
I no longer think about which device to use. I just use the device that’s at hand and right for the task.
I’m not quite this device agnostic yet, but I’m getting there. Of course, I can already tell you who the loser in this new way of working is, my desktop computer.
In the past year the iMac in my office at home has gone from being my most used to my least used device.

True.
And you get control over the office thermostat.
