There’s no real objection to escapism, in the right places… We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality… It’s a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. ARTHUR C. CLARKE

“The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure, she covered her face with powder and paint because she didn’t need it and she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn’t boring. She was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do. Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim and most of all to heart. She had mostly masculine friends, but youth does not need friends—it needs only crowds.”

- Zelda Fitzgerald (via bacarat)

Prototype Real / Digital Info Interface System

Using projection and gestures to create interactive relationship with information - video embedded below:

Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.

“We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.”

Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.

“The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unloveable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around — and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness.”

Images of Saint Sebastian are my fav. Look at his face here! That’s the essence of “REALLY, GOD? Really? A single arrow? Why don’t you just shoot me full of them while you’re at it.”

“Built to celebrate hard-boiled detective movies of the 1930s, the interior of Bar 探偵 (Bar Tantei) has been carefully fashioned in the style of an old Japanese kissaten, and the music is strictly of the 1930s boogie-woogie era.

The master Hayashi-san speaks English fluently, a fact I discovered when he invited me to discover this bar’s little secret. “Push any book in the bookcase,” he told me and I did, and to my absolute joy it swung back to reveal… a hidden room! Here he has installed a mini-cinema (seats about 6), where he plans to conduct screenings of old classic detective movies from the 1930s. The hidden room is also equipped with an old-style ship’s communication system, i.e. a long brass speaking tube which extends back to the bar and through which you can place your orders. ”
