This Tweenbot (a small robot that can only move forward) was able to make it from one corner of Washington Square Park to the other in 42 minutes...with a little help from his friends (29 of them). This was an experiment conducted by NYC student Kacie Kinzer who built the robot.

“One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”

 
 

Here is a Periodic Table of Typefaces a list of 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious (compiled from several sources noted on the poster). Grouped by classification it includes: family, rank, designer and year created...very nicely done, and a great reference, enjoy.

 
Hotel 626 10/13/2008
 

Hotel 626 is clever online puzzle game presented by Doritos just in time for Halloween. You can only enter Hotel 626 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (though you can change your computer’s clock if you want to cheat the system), and you’re not allowed to exit until you have gone on a harrowing journey through the haunted hotel. If you have a webcam and microphone you can enhance the experience,  you can also skip sections if you get stuck. Have fun, but keep in mind this may be too frightening for younger children.

 
 

Giving new meaning to the word Typeface, Jeremy Mayer brings new life back to old typewriters using the parts to build interesting human and animal sculptures. In my opinion definitely worth a look. BTW: I often see old typewriters sell for a buck or 2 at auction...inspired anyone?

For Arakawa, 71, an artist who designed Bioscleave House with his wife, Madeline Gins, the structure, floor and environment are not meant to be comfortable but more of a daily test of balance.  Don't forget to sign a waiver before entering.
