"What a great set of photos, especially the 1894 photo from the Toronto Public Library. I've collected some other photos and programs at http://wholemap.com/historic/t..." - David Sky
Re: This Four-Story Building Is Powered From Algae Panels - http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681728...
"(For the rest of us that think in metric, the panels are about 2.5m long by about 71cm wide, and about 2cm thick.)" - David Sky
Re: Self-assembling Furniture ‘Grows Like Popcorn’ - http://www.singularityweblog.com/self-as...
"Interesting, and fits in well with Skylar Tibbits recent TED talk about taking this to the next step where the materials can changed over time - pipes that expand or contract depending on the need, or even undulate to move liquids without a traditional pump: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v..." - David Sky
Re: Belkin WeMo Switch and Motion Home automation and... | A Smarter Planet - http://smarterplanet.tumblr.com/post...
"I recently bought just the switch and was impressed with how simple it was to get up and running. It disappears once in a while from the network, but other than that it has worked as expected. The best part is If-This Then-That (IFTT) integration, enabling you to set up rules like 'turn the light on my desk on when there is a new SmarterPlanet blog post' or when my daughter posts an Instagram photo, etc... The best/worst part? They finally released an Android version of the App - it is Beta only now, but they are getting there." - David Sky
Re: The Oldest Known Photos of Toronto - http://torontoist.com/2013...
"I've geo-tagged a few of these photos in the past, but didn't realize until now that they were all part of a set. I've added them to http://wholemap.com/historic/t... along with other historic photos from the same area. Thanks!" - David Sky

Impressive to see how many web sites are offered in Japanese (I can't read them, but have my language set to Ja for translation testing).

Re: Gravity Light Exceeds Funding Target. Goes For Testing In Third World Villages. - http://www.singularityweblog.com/gravity...
"What a great idea. Hopefully their tests will help improve the product and get it out into the hands of people who will benefit from it.Looks like a couple of weak links in the product - how will people repair / replace the line? And we've all been reminded again and again not to leave the chords for retractable blinds where children can reach them, I wonder how much of a strangulation threat this will be." - David Sky
