Portable wireless backpack takes pictues and keeps you stylish
Posted by Nerdmaster in : Computer Sweden , add a comment
The PORTA2030 from 2006 is a mobile data sensing storage transmission unit that consists of a wireless hard drive (the WL-HDD2.5), a 1 GB flashcard and an open source backend. The device functions as a portable data sensing storage transmission system that can stream images to function as a simple communications device. Interesting design but we wonder how different it is from what a typical cell phone can do these days.

The Radiophonic Workshop
Posted by Nerdmaster in : IT Pro , add a comment
In 1958 the BBC established the Radiophonic Workshop to explore and produce innovative sounds for radio programming. The group’s unconventional approach to sound synthesis and arrangement poised them at the forefront of music technology - making them the envy of many pioneering musicians. Looking back at some of their hardware setups, it’s no wonder current-day sound makers still hold the workshop in such high regard.
Workshop member Delia Derbyshire is responsible for what is commonly accepted as the group’s signature recording - recorded in ‘63, the original theme from Doctor Who.
Simply unbeatable - electronic music doesn’t get any better than that.
