Lomo LC-A Makeover Competition

The people behind the Lomo have come up with a cunning plan to ship more of the little blighters by giving you the chance to design a makeover for the little black box. Skip over to the Lomo website for a template to download and you customise. They are looking for an original new skin for the Lomo LC-A+ which will actually be put into production (and then sold). First prize (apart from the design being made) is a trip to the Lomography HQ in Vienna, hotel and flight included plus you get 5 cameras with your design on it. So you had better make it a good design!

"Lightbulbs" by Chris Jordan

Chris Jordan's Running the Numbers series continues with new work, including Lightbulbs. This photo collage represents the 320,000 lightbulbs that equal the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the US per minute, due to inefficient household electricity use. Jordan's work is a frightening wake-up call that is based on waste, consumerism, planned obsolescence and the ravages to our environment. The work consists of large, detailed prints put together by using thousands of tiny photographs. The importance of the individual among the collective is made visually clear, and the sheer overwhelming nature of these problems cannot be escaped.

The Paper Bicycle

No it's not made of paper, but the idea comes from the fact that it is like a blank sheet of paper, and that it can be easily branded or personalised.

Enclosed chain and mudguards keep you clean and dry. Puncture proof tyres, internal gears cables and brakes, guarantee reliability. 

Have your own design of chain panel printed. One size fits everyone. 
  • Rack, child seat, and dynamo light options.
  • Cromo steel frame, with lifetime warranty.
  • 8spd/1spd hub gears, with drum brakes. 
  • Puncture resistant 26"x2" balloon tyres. 
The paper bicycle will be available in September 2009. 8spd with dynamo lights £850, 1spd no lights £630.

Mavizen's electric bike hits 130 MPH, ships with Linux and WiFi

Yes, that's right. It's being billed as a development PLATFORM and not just a bike. The Mavizen TTX02 is fully connected in a way that bikes are not today. It ships not only with a chassis and drivetrain, but with an open source Linux OS, web server, USB-based system bus, and WiFi connectivity. http://www.mavizen.com.
