Joysticks and joypads, plugs, keyboards and routers, a shoe lost among cables, a pair of feet emerging behind an open laptop, videocassettes, websites and girls watching intensely at a computer screen. Miltos Manetas hands a thought-provoking mirror to the gadgets blogs, tech magazines and even new media art exhibitions. posted by Markus

Floorplanner.com allows you to create floor plans and view them both in 2 and 3 dimensions.

Thanks to its very intuitive interface, it is possible to play around and customise sizes and shapes, add doors, windows and even pieces of furniture, achieving a very realistic idea of the real result.

Floorplan also allows you to save your projects and it’s free for personal use.

This week, I have been mostly loving the work of Chuck Anderson.  Beautiful static imagery, combining photography and light effects.

Mixedlink is a new collaboration site which combines wiki features so users can write, edit and remix content. The link below shows draft speeches that the community has written for Obama’s inaugural address:

The platform makes editing and rating content easy-peasy.

Today we want to post some fashion related links. One of them is Swide, a new blog by Dolce and Gabbana (which we suppose they kind of want to hide from the audience). As the Design is from High-Res!, the agency which does the D&G online communication, and a lot of content is "accidentally" about D&G, you just have to put two and two together. At first, its layout makes it a bit unusable, but as you get used to it the content is quite amusing. We especially liked the wild fitness and the blueberry drinks sections.
