Making Things Story App review: Planetary for iPad The iPad's music player hasn't changed much since its debut, and unlike its desktop counterpart, it also lacks a built-in music visualizer for your mesmerization. Luckily, for the folks who are seeking ways to spice up their iPad music experience, you now have a new option: Planetary, by Bloom Studio. As you can tell by the name and the screenshot above, what we have here is a visually compelling app for exploring your tablet's music library. It's very straightforward: each artist or band is shown as a star, surrounded by albums in the form of orbiting planets, and then you have individual tracks displayed as moons orbiting each album. During playback, each track leaves behind a trail on its orbit to indicate its play time, though you can hide the orbit lines (and labels) if you them too distracting.

Shapeways to Open NY Factory Popular consumer-focused 3D print service is expanding! In New York, specifically Long Island, they're spending USD$28M to set up a 25,000sf, 50-person facility that Shapeways calls, "The Factory of The Future". The facility is expected to hold some 30-50 advanced 3D printers as well as providing a physical space for maker community innovation. The facility will speed up Shapeways production and provide a lot more capacity for growth. But what specifically will be printed there? According to their blog: It will house state of the art 3D Printers just hitting the market. If you've ever visited a 3D printing service facility like Shapeways, you'll see an amazing concept.

Diego Porqueras on Running a Physical 3D Printing Store Three months ago, Diego Porqueras, founder of Bukobot 3D printers, decided to open a brick-and-mortar 3D printing shop and hackerspace in Pasadena, Calif., called Deezmaker. We blogged about his grand opening, and the Bukobot 8 machine was reviewed in our Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing, receiving recognition as the Most Innovative. We caught up with Diego recently to get an update on how the shop and hackerspace are going. 1. 2. 3. 4. I even had this one lady come in who was so flabbergasted she just stared at the machines in awe for like 15 minutes until she started to ask questions. 5. As far as events go, similar to Crash Space‘s “MakerBot Monthly” (3rd Sunday of every month), we’re going to begin our own “3D Printing Monthly” meetups on the first Sunday of every month, starting on January 6, 2013. We’re also planning some more formal instructional classes like “3D Printing 101,” “Getting Started with OpenSCAD 3D Modeling,” “Intro to Arduino,” in addition to a bunch of others. 6. 7.

It was written in 1877, but not published until 1918, when it was included as part of the collection Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins.[1] Pied Beauty Glory be to God for dappled things — For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced — fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) "Pied Beauty" Gerald Manley Hopkins written 1877.[2] Background[edit] In the poem, the narrator praises God for the variety of "dappled things" in nature, such as piebald cattle, trout and finches.
