From the free EP by N.K.72 & Infinitum, TWO ELEMENTS:
Neochronometry
Wish I could be at Matt Jones' talk in Utrecht next month, just to see how he pulls this one:
Using examples from the development of Dopplr.com and other services — alongside historical and science-fictional perspectives — Matt will explore what we might call "neochronometry" and illustrate some directions we could take as interaction designers to treat time as a material…

Jean Snow:
…the "Urban Paper" paper toy art show and book launch is still happening at Cafe Pause next month. Produced by Josh McKible … it celebrates the recently launched book Urban Paper: 25 Designer Toys to Cut Out and Build by bringing together new works from a host of designers who were featured inside (including Josh).
