Bjork to the future...
Tech Video of the Week
As Bjork continues her world tour, many people have noted the very unusual instrument on stage that looks like a glass table with a number of glowing toys being pushed around.
It is, in fact, an amazing new instrument called the Reactable, that was developed by music engineers in Spain. Like Microsoft's Surface computer, it uses a table-top screen that reacts to touch. But it goes beyond that, turning the complex sound mixing board into an intuitive visual interface.

Ain't that just Dwell
Many many years ago, my family met a couple of families from Canada while on vacation. Year after year, our families would see each other over the holidays as we lounged on the beach, the dads camped under a large island pine tree telling lies, drinking beer, reading books and snoring.
Through these relationships, my dad eventually started a small company, Solarcone, to distribute an environmentally-friendly food waste digester called the Green Cone, a product invented by one of his fellow beach loungers. Essentially a super-efficient solar trap, the Green Cone evaporates water content from food and accelerates the breakdown process, resulting in compost.
For years my dad pretty much ran this as a hobby side business. After he died, my sister took over the day-to-day operations and has continued to expand Solarcone's reach, forging new relationships with universities, municipalities and other environmentally-focused businesses. Last year Element (my company) built an online store for her, which (IMHO) has been fairly successful.
Dwell Magazine is featuring the Green Cone in the Dwell Labs section of the October 2006 issue. I haven't seen it yet, but I'll hopefully have a copy in my hands later today.
Congrats, Sarah!
UPDATE Wow! Looks fantastic. p. 161.
