David Ten Have from Ponoko visted the MAKE offices in Sebastopol, CA recently, and Dale Dougherty conducted this video interview. Ponoko accepts plans for 2D and 3D parts bundled with electronics and other products to bring access to hard-to-find tools to makers through the mail. They use the Spazzi robot project from MAKE 27 to illustrate how a maker can order custom printed parts online when a 3D printer is hard to find.

STA Travel Australia sent three travellers with clearly a smattering of film-making experience to document a six-week jaunt around the world.
Obviously created with a view to getting some buzz in social media and YouTube, the clip is very good and will no doubt help drive some traffic to the brand.

The Metropol Parasol is arguably the most important structure to open this year, and it has without doubt come to be one of the most photographed new architectural works of 2011.
Designed by German architect Juergen Mayer, it has quickly become a new focal point for the city of Seville, Spain. Throwing back to the city's marketplace tradition, and paving the way for a new era of design innovation, the Metropol Parasol is a signal moment in architectural culture. Recently, Inhabitat's Editor-in-Chief, Jill Fehrenbacher, sat down with Mayer in New York City to talk about his inspiration for the design. Mayer also talks about the impact of digital technology on the architectural world, and what sustainability means for design.
