Ponoko

Here's a cool idea I found on trendwatching the other day:
New Zealand-based Ponoko (which works like a CafePress for 3D objects) is offering consumers a new way to turn their creative ideas into real-world objects. After uploading their own design to the website (in EPS file format), or choosing a free design, users can choose from a variety of materials. Ponoko then runs the design through a laser cutter. Besides offering access to professional tools to manufacture products, Ponoko also helps users bring their products to market. Once they’re ready to sell, members can add photos of their product to their profile page, together with a description and pricing information. Products can either be delivered to the designer for assembly before being shipped to customers, or self-assembly products can be sent directly to the end-customer. Ponoko currently only offers two-dimensional sheet cutting, which limits designs to flat objects or three-dimensional objects that can be assembled from flat pieces, but plans for 3D printing are in the works.
As well as being a manufacturing platform, Ponoko also serves as a community where fledgling one-off fabricators and designers can exchange ideas and help solve each other’s problems. The larger goal, according to Ponoko, is to be a catalyst that helps bring personal manufacturing of individualized products to the masses.

The year is coming to an end, and what a year it's been.
The highlight for me in 2007 was definitely the trip to London in August to hold the Stray Cinema screening event. It was amazing to see the digital and real worlds combine, and to celebrate the project with other human beings. Running Stray Cinema has meant i've spent a lot of time alone infront of my computer, so when something exciting happens (i.e we get a new film submission or positive feedback on the project) I often don't know what to do with myself….there is noone around to share the excitement. So the real world screening was a great opportunity to beable to celebrate the hard work everyone has put into Stray Cinema with a party.
Well I am going to take a wee break over christmas and new years. Thanks for reading my blog, and any contributions you have made to the project. Keep an eye out for a special christmas Stray Cinema film submission…anyone?

Taken from Rob's blog:
"Webster’s Dictionary word of the year is w00t, according to a report from Associated Press.
“W00t,” a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher’s online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.
Webster’s president, John Morse, said “w00t” was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology.
Gamers commonly substitute numbers and symbols for the letters they resemble, Morse says, creating what they call “l33t speak” - that’s “leet” when spoken, short for “elite” to the rest of the world."
