Electronic LCD Tags..
"First off it just looks like an LCD with some coin batteries and a simple board, but removing the batteries it was found that the text still appeared on the screen meaning its an E-Ink display.
Close examination of the chips on board shows that this model has an ATMEL ATMEGA16L, and a ATMEL952 25128AN (a 128k eprom with SPI interface), which makes this thing possible to bend to ones will. Also, dumping the eprom with an Arduino gets everyone a bit closer to decoding the instructions this thing needs to display its graphics" -Hack A Day Site.
From a graphic design perspective and marketing perspective
will we be able to put marketing slogans, change typefaces, or scroll related information?
Using E-Ink, If as the market for these becomes bigger and the progression of OMLED screen technology becomes cheaper we could eventually have mini videos, on these price tags using E-INK, RFID, OMLED, WIFI, which could perhaps look at an online database of your previous purchases and relate the information to the tag, so you are presented with an example with other related items which the database suggests based on previous purchases or even offers in store.
I'm just speculating here. Clearly in the meantime it will save chemical inks, printing labels, help in the reduction of cutting down trees.

Beautiful Light Designs
I'm so very impressed with the look, design and shape of these beautiful lights.
I like the way they can be mixed and matched with colours and that you can re-arrange the layout very easily.

Algae powered LCD!
From my experimentation with LCD, polarising plastic and EL sheets, I just jumped to the wonderful idea that in the future it is possible to create layers of an LCD using algae with the back layer being polarising plastic, then a Algae wafer, then the LCD panel followed by another polarising plastic which would mean that the TV, Monitor, or LCD technology could be powered by the algae wafer within the screen itself. I just want to post this here before the idea like many of my ideas were put in practise and patented by somebody else.
Solid State Drive - I came up with this idea when i was 14 - but using volatile memory and a battery to keep it alive on a IDE bus.
Sega - Arcade - to Console Memory stick. I even wrote into SEGA to tell them it would be a great idea if you could play games and then take your save scores, bonuses from the arcade and play them on the home console.
Polarising Window - The idea that like a huge watch face.. you would have a window pane constructed like the face of a watch polarising plastic at the front and back, with a glass panel in-between.
the window would be powered by a small solar panel at the top, and have a capacitor to store electricity. once the user wanted to make the window completely black they would just press a button on the window which would then do away with the need for ugly curtains and window net curtains. It would make apartments feel and look more minimalistic.
I LOVE BEING INVENTIVE AND CREATIVE I HOPE I CAN CREATE SOMETHING NEW SOON BUT FOR NOW, LCD ALGAE SCREEN IS MY IDEA! - Before anybody else!.

Russian Character Design.
Russian constructivism, Productivism, Social Surrealism , are things which are now deep ingrained into my design and design aesthetics. This is a design for a character design which I was inspired by my love of the Soviet, Russian constructivism and cubism.
I feel my design reflects the power the soviet union once held, and the fear it evoked in people who spoke up against the government.
