		<description><![CDATA[Régine Debatty&#8217;s interview with Graham Pullin on WMMNA is a good read. I like what I know of Graham&#8217;s work a lot, and I love the Museum of Lost Interactions. I think it&#8217;s an excellent way to teach about interaction. Looking forward to his new book, &#8220;Designing Braille for the Sighted&#8221;.

He takes this vision to its extreme, showing how it changes everything from design to manufacturing to consumption to disposal of material goods.

		<description><![CDATA[It's bassically a membrane that vibrates when wind passes across it, causing it to move a pair of magnets in a coil, which then generates electricity.  Though it doesn't generate a lot of power, it could be used effectively to power remote sensors or small indicators that currently run on battery power, relatively cheaply.

		<description><![CDATA[They're eye-catching, but I wonder how many people understand that they're specifically recycling bins.  I guess there's a trade-off there -- they may generate more mistakes, but if they collect more recyclable goods, the error is worthwhile.

		<description><![CDATA[Megan MacMurray's off on a bus tour of the US with Conscious Goods Alliance, to talk to people across the nation about alternative fuels, but consumerism, product labeling, agricultural practices, sustainable materials, and the products that are sponsoring the tour.  She'll be making video blogs of the whole trip, online at Official Bufanda (I am still confused as to what a bufanda is and how one becomes official).She's looking in particular to interview experts in biodiesel, auto-mechanics, wind power, solar power, hydropower, organic/local/sustainable agriculture, corporate agriculture, GMO's, hybridization and building materials - focusing on the value of unbiased but informed opinions.

That is, the placesand times that are often on the periphery of everyday life - thejourney to work or the time spent queuing in a shop.To be considered for participation, researchers and practitioners areinvited to send us a compelling public toilet story (see The Storiessection of the website for inspiration), an optional toiletphotograph, a brief biography, and a short rationale outlining yourinterest in the workshop.

This one comes from a link on Sriam Subramaniam's homepage, but I think they may have gotten it from Rachel Abrams' paper.Toshio Iwai'sPiano - As Image Media - The interaction is quite simple, and even traditional, in computer interface terms (a trackball), but the effect is beautiful.Tad Hirsch's TripWire - I love the fact that it's relevant to the city it was designed for, and attempts to address real political issues in that town with just the right level of seriousness and humor.Maywa Denki's BitMan - The behavior seems entirely natural when you play with it, as the little man moves from one side to the next as you rotate the object.]]></description>
