    A new program called Free Desk Here asks agencies to make better use of their free space, and give birth to individual creatives who are looking for a fun place to work.

    Agencies that participate get a screen printed poster to promote their space. The first 50 on board get signed posters. Everyone keeps working.

    This is a fantastic idea and a great way for agencies to meet creatives who are driven, see their work, monitor their fit with the agency culture, and potentially make a mutually beneficial hire.

    thedailywhat: Software engineer Rob Rhinehart thinks he never has to eat a traditional meal ever again. The 24-year-old from Atlanta, GA has developed a strange beige drink named “Soylent,” in reference to the 1973 science fiction film Soylent Green, which he claims contains all the required nutrients to form a healthy diet. In a recent interview with Vice, Rhinehart revealed he thinks the world would be much better off if his concoction was adopted by the masses, resulting in an overall healthier populace. But….what about dessert?

    How It Feels To Use Google Glass

    Today, Google shared their first, practical vision for Glass’s HUD. If there’s one mantra, it’s transparency. Aside from videos and photos, every bit of the interface focuses on clarity, from the use of what must be the sveltest font possible, to contrasting that font against the lightest matte possible.

    Thinking about the social impact of this. With the potential to develop features like real-time optical sensing & adjustment, as well as bone vibration conduction, this could be an amazing opportunity for Google to help the blind see and the deaf hear. This technology is the perfect conduit for this kind of impact - it definitely shouldn’t be exist merely for entertainment value.
