TXT101 by 101 Edition: A pattern font.
TXT101 is a fresh, friendly typeface for mock text and borders. As a retro-cool digital successor to the pencil marks that were hand-drawn as placeholder text in the analog era, TXT101 includes 52 styles, from Arch to Zigzag, with a couple of loops, several slants, and a swell set of waves. If your final copy is TBD, use TXT101 to mock up roman, bold, italic or light. TXT101 looks GR8 and is EZ to set.

MIT’s shapeshifting display lets you reach out and touch someone
MIT has demonstrated a “Dynamic Shape Display” that can physically change shape to render 3D content. As Fast Company reports, the display is called inFORM, and it’s a large surface that sits atop a series of pins, actuators, and linkages. By moving each actuator, inFORM can move the pin it’s attached to up or down, allowing for a wide range of interactions.
Amazing! Can’t wait to see the future applications of this.

Moto X costs more to build than Apple’s iPhone 5
Motorola’s hot new Moto X features great customization options and a top-notch software experience, and it is probably the best mass-market Android phone in the world. When it comes to things like hardware and fit and finish, however, the Moto X feels quite cheap compared to premium smartphones like Apple’s iPhone 5 and the HTC One. It might come as a surprise, then, to learn that an IHS teardown suggests that Motorola’s new hero phone actually costs more per unit to build than Apple’s all aluminum and glass iPhone 5.
A recent teardown of the Moto X performed by market research company IHS iSuppli found that the handset’s bill of materials (BOM) totals an estimated $221 per unit. That figure includes $209 worth of components and another $12 in manufacturing costs. Since the Moto X is made to order in the United States, manufacturing costs are as much as $5 higher per unit than they would be if the phones were assembled in China. While $5 doesn’t seem like much, it adds up fast when dealing with huge volumes.More at The Tech Gets
What customizable options … Seems tempting
Mandarin dual immersion classes for Time Magazine.
It’s totally insane to hear a bunch of white first graders speaking Mandarin. Photographing kids is a nightmare but when you get something good its so worth it.

Parametric and Isometric Clocks by LeeLABS
The Para Clock Series is inspired by radial geometry and symmetry found in architecture and textiles. Above are parametric and isometric clocks. In mathematics, an isometry is defined as a distance-preserving map between metric spaces. In this series, the tesselations of hexagons are crystallized into maps of overlaying geometries and the effect is like looking through a kaleidoscope. For more, go to the LeeLABS shop!
