Track how much energy you have exherted in the day, and then try and beat it the next.

Nike have introduced their own unit of measurement, but it doesn’t matter, they’ve made it simple. Basically, if you’re doing better than the day before then your onto a winner.

$150 for the band and then track it all on an app. I’m looking forward to it reaching the UK shores.

Like, totally cool man.

Cai Guo-Qiang - Daytime Fireworks

This performance from Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang shows how Volatile black powder explosions can be controlled and shaped by computer.

Each set of explosions was calculated to paint a different picture. One series of explosions created black smoke clouds that looked like “drops of ink splattered across the sky.” In another, 8,300 shells embedded with computer microchips exploded in a pyramid shape over the desert.

Hidden Radio & Bluetooth Speaker

These seem like a really neat idea - an affordable Airplay speaker, and to top it off funding them will actually save you money over the retailed product (which bucks the trend of most Kickstarter products).

Journey to the Exoplanets - iPad app

Explore the Exoplanets, see what they are like from the surface, and build your own planet.

It’s not so much the execution of this app that I like, but the in-depth knowledge it shows off. Check it out.

PRISMA1666

The installation is a collaboration between Wonwei and Shanghai-based design studio Super Nature Design. It was first exhibited at the 2011 International Science and Art Exhibition in Shanghai where it received the Best Creative Design Award.

PRISMA1666 is an interactive light installation consisting of 15 triangular crystal blocks distributed randomly on a clean white surface. The projection of colorful graphics is refracted and dispersed by these crystal blocks, creating a fascinating visual experience and ambiance.

And something they seem to forget, it’s iPad controlled.

Picamo - Movember charity app for iPhone

The friendly guys a The Blue Hive have produced a great Movember iPhone app where ALL proceeds (except Apples 30%) go straight to charity.

The great thing is the ability to select your mo’ before you take the photo.

Also, love the double meaning of the name ;-)

Buy the app here for only 69p.

Codify

iOS developers TwoLivesLeft have created a touch based coding app for the iPad, something which is now allowed since Apple relaxed their App Store rules.

It even comes with a selection of pre-sets to play about with.

Nice!
