A design and usability blog: Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals) About | The Carrotbox - plastic rings, lucite rings, glass rings The Carrotbox is a site dedicated to all those wonderful rings made of glass, lucite, resin, plastic, jade, wood, bakelite and even stone — anything, as long as it's not metal! Why Glass and Plastic Rings? It all started because I'm allergic to metals. I can occasionally wear sterling for short periods of time, but never on my fingers — and never anything that only looks like silver or gold. But Glass and Plastic are Difficult to Find Not impossible, but difficult. About the Shop The main mission of my ring shop is to spread glass, plastic and other non-metal rings to as many fabulous people as possible. I opened up shop because after an exhaustive search of the www — trying to buy rings for my own collection — I realized nobody out there had a site devoted to non-metal rings.

Cooper ¿Cuál es la Teoría del Diseño Inteligente? Pregunta: "¿Cuál es la Teoría del Diseño Inteligente?" Respuesta: La Teoría del Diseño Inteligente dice que “las causas inteligentes son necesarias para explicar la compleja información de las ricas estructuras de la biología y que estas causas son empíricamente detectables.” Ciertas características biológicas desafían la explicación Darwiniana de “coincidencias fortuitas”. Ellas parecen haber sido diseñadas. Puesto que el diseño lógicamente necesita de un diseñador inteligente, la aparición del diseño es citado como evidencia para la existencia de un Diseñador. Hay tres argumentos primarios en la Teoría del Diseño Inteligente: (1) complejidad irreducible, (2) complejidad específica, y (3) el principio antrópico. (2) La complejidad específica es el concepto de que, puesto que patrones complejos específicos pueden ser encontrados en organismos, alguna forma de guía debe haber actuado para su aparición. La Teoría del Diseño Inteligente no es Creacionismo Bíblico.

ART CENTER DESIGN CONFERENCE 2008 | Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA | May 7, 8 & 9, 2008 “His voice can be heard above the noise, please welcome Bruce McCall!” As a self-taught polymath and current humorist for The New Yorker, McCall indulges in nonsense. For example, a Scottish castle where people are playing golf indoors with the goal to bang the golf balls off the armor. McCall’s work is so personal, so strange that he’s invented his own lexicon: Retrofuturism: looking back to see how yesterday will view tomorrow, as they are always optimistically wrong Technoarchaeology: digging back and finding past miracles that never happened Faux-nostalgia: the ickingly sentimental yearning for times that never happened Hyperobloic overkill: taking exaggeration to the ultimate limit just for the fun of it Urban absurdism: what The New Yorker is really all about; I make life in New York look weirder than it is. Perhaps ironically, authenticity is a major part of McCall’s seriousness. Our next speaker had a quality of fashion that Hockenberry could only begin to imitate: Aimee Mullins.
