This week we have the great pleasure to speak with Max Bogue. Max is a co-founder of Wobbleworks and he, as well as fellow co-founder Peter Dillworth have created the 3Doodler, the world’s first 3D printed pen. They have a fully-funded Kickstarter project and there’s still time to get in on it. Now, these guys know about bringing a product to market, and good thing because, at this point in time, they have over 24,000 people biting their fingernails in anticipation of receiving a 3Doodler. We’ll talk with Max about the project and exactly what it takes to ramp up a project on Kickstarter.

The term ‘Knolling’ has been around since the mid-1980’s and is centered around the practice of organizing any number of objects for a specific purpose in an easy-to-view manner. More recently, design blogs, style magazines, and recipe books have used the practice as a way to instantly communicate a grouping of objects—whether it be items one carries in a pocket or purse, tools used for a specific craft, or ingredients used for a recipe. In 90 Degrees, Andrew Kim takes the reader on an interactive journey into the history of Knolling and why you–as well as everybody, should ‘Always Be Knolling’.
Back in the day, SolidSmack was this close *makes pinchy fingers* to becoming a music site named ShellacSmack, covering news of the people creating interesting melodies with the resin secreted by the female lac bug. Fortunately for you, there are very few, if any, people doing that. There are, on the other hand, people creating many an interesting product and even fewer creating interesting mixes on musical instrument. Enter the ROLI Seaboard, 88-keys of pitch-bending beauty that squish beneath your fingers like a piano made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, without the mess.
