I'm starting a new role writing blog posts for Ponoko this week - should be fun and a good opportunity to write and think more about OSPD. It certainly means writing more!

Arduino

Arduino - HomePage

How have I missed this? Apologies. Being unfamiliar with programming, I tend to glaze over a bit when articles start to detail exactly how their software components work. And increasingly these articles have been on about Arduino, which i took to be none of my business. But it is in fact a lot my business! Its that elusive link between Processing and tangible interaction, to paraphrase.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Sorapot - Modern Teapot - simple teapot design of glass, cast stainless steel. designed for green tea loose leaf tea by Joey Roth


Sorapot - Modern Teapot - simple teapot design of glass, cast stainless steel. designed for green tea loose leaf tea by Joey Roth

A lovely design for a teapot with sustainability as paramount - although I'm sure there must be more components than is listed, such as a seal of some sort. More information about the packaging, which is also very elegant, at Treehugger.

The photographer has used a rather odd depth of field or blur effect on these photos that make the teapot seem much smaller than it is (possibly due to the heavy grade of cardboard used too) - its actually normal sized!
