At many times technology that helps you to explore and share your world around you, putting you back in the moment.
It’s a old video from Project Glass but i still love the interaction it’s intuitively designed.
I was casually browsing this morning and stumbled upon this Fruit Salad Ice Pops. Wow just beautiful. 
reaDIYmates are fun wi-fi objects that you can build easily. They move and play sounds depending on what’s happening in your digital life.
“You can choose from a variety of existing designs or create your own object. Then decide what you want them to do through a simple web interface. Link them to your digital life (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, RSS feeds, SoundCloud, If This Then That!) or control them remotely in real time from your iPhone.”
Very interesting!
Motrr founders Josh Guyot and JoeBen Bevirt created a revolutionary product “Galileo“.

All.I.Can: a two-year feature film project by the Sherpas that fuses our passions for riding and exploring the mountains with our potential to help the environment. The film strives to unite global mountain culture and bind us together as the leaders of a revolution.
We must be inspired to do all we can for the environment, and we must learn how to take that first tiny step in the right direction.
This film received many best international awards across the globe.
“In life it’s our choice whether we laugh or cry – and I chose to laugh”
“It’s like when you fall in love – you can’t control it. You know it might hurt you, …but the feeling is so good”
Life is beautiful, its just how you really see it. Just choose your path, a burning dream and faith that yes you can do it!.
One Step Beyond is a story of lives led to extremes, of living your dreams and coming face to face with brutal reality. Of incredible friendships and finding the strength to overcome life’s cruelest obstacles. Of sharing amazing experiences with wonderful people… and of choosing to laugh.
The world as Steve Jobs saw it:
When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.
Wimpy, a restaurant found an interesting way to let visually impaired customers know that they have Braille menus handy in all of their locations. To spread the word they made impressions of Braille messages on hamburger buns, with words spelled out in sesame seeds.
A video promoting the effort shows Wimpy sandwich artisans using tweezers to painstakingly place each individual seed on each bun. The specialized burgers bearing various messages about burger authenticity (“100% pure beef!”) were brought to three Braille institutions for future customers to enjoy.
Awesome idea

“I believe the importance of our sensory perception is underestimated in a lot of today’s design. Too much importance is accorded to the visual. What if we could incorporate our other senses into design? Could we smell who’s calling? Or feel what’s on TV?” says Henrik Otto SVP of Global Design at Electrolux.
“[Y]ou can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” – Steve Jobs
Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world Steve Jobs. We will miss your magic.
