------------------------------- Jul.01.poke interface. «POKE is a 1-bit monochromatic interface, to tap, touch or poke, as you please, with your nose, toes, fingers, or any probing object you can imagine. POKE is reminiscent of yesterday’s mobile edutainment toys, from Speak’n’Spell to Gameboy, that turn tactility into fun. Like its commercial counterparts, POKE is programmed to respond with rewards and rejections that reinforce desired behaviors. Therefore, don’t be fooled by POKE’s playful nature and poor resolution. In the tradition of interactive games, electronic or otherwise, POKE requires delicate handling and attention to detail. As the old adage goes: practice makes perfect.» [joshua trees] ------------------------------- Apr.01.the next pandemic. a japanese fold children book about the most feared virus. this super flu is the daughter of the spanish and the chinese flu, but stronger. ------------------------------- Apr.01.giant pda . i spent two years in san francisco and over there it is mandatory to have a personal digital assistant. one day i found one inside a sofa. and i got a bit obsessed with it. ------------------------------- Nov.00.*how to shop. just send us an email with your well defined request and we will forward you the payment infos via paypal. shipping costs and taxes are not included. we ship from switzerland, with the swiss post, only after the money has arrived on our account. we deliver as fast as possible. more info about the payment system paypal ------------------------------- Mar.00.suitcase bomb. this poster was created based on a true story about the russians who lost a high number of atomic bombs from their arsenals after the end of the cold war. this bomb was built to be carried by one man and to be dropped behind the enemy line. it looked like a suitcase. heh! ------------------------------- Jan.00.background. this is our background collection ------------------------------- Jan.00.icon. this are all the icons that you can find on the site. ------------------------------- new new here -------------------------------
