Remembering our trip to Brazil after finally developing the film. Real photo prints from a proper camera have something special iPhone photos don’t. (Taken with instagram)
Some thoughts from Robert Spychala at De-De on new additions to the iOS 5.0 Bluetooth stack. Huge potential with this technology that few people seem to be talking about.
There have been rumblings about some of the new additions to the iOS 5.0 bluetooth stack and hardware in iPhone 4S. ex: [link]
So lets poke around the Core Bluetooth Framework in the Xcode documentation and see what kinds of new things will be possible with this API.
Some high level benefits…
Robert has written up a post on the installation of his shiny new Nest Thermostat. He documents each step of the process with photos.
We love this product as it improves an area of our lives that is very important but has been allowed to stay static with little technical innovation let alone any good design. It is also a great example of hardware, software and the web tied together to make a better experience.
In addition to the device, the Nest mobile and desktop software is really easy to use and allows you to control multiple thermostats when away from home. That will be useful this winter to get your home toasty warm by the time you get off the train or out of your car.

We’re a small company today with big ambitions for tomorrow. Our name stands for Design & Develop and we’re passionate about building technology products.
In the coming months we’ll be launching apps, platforms and services that bring something useful to peoples’ lives in a range of areas…
I’m sure you’re thinking these found-object robot sculptures by Gordon Bennett are very cute, but scale these up a hundred times, give them super-powerful positronic brains, and arm them with billion megawatt deathray lasers and suddenly they’re not quite so cute anymore.
