Design Adds, LEGO, Micheal Iny

  • Design: Update: Just added a bunch of stuff to the Design page of my website. Have a TON of photography that also needs to be added!
  • Science/Design/ID: Phonofone II: "Art that functions. This cast ceramic grammaphone by Tristan Zimmerman for Science+Sons works without external power or batteries. Just plug in the earbuds from your iPod or MP3player. Exploiting horn acoustics, sound is amplified by resonating via the horn up to 55 decibels (roughly the max volume of laptop speakers). The treble buzzing is instantly and profoundly transformed into a warm, rich and resonant sound. Patent Pending. As Canadian inventor Tristan asks, why-fi?"
