Odd. Interesting...
I suppose there's a need everywhere and product solutions as well..

The photos show custom male pleasuring device heads featuring the vaginas and anuses (or should that be ani, anii?) of a number of female porn stars. The future perfect link in all of this is: in mainstream societies today what body parts are by default measured? And why? And as technology becomes increasingly wearable what other body part measurements are we likely to see mainstreamed? What value added services might the known measurement of celebrities, porn or otherwise then enable?

For example when will custom molded ear pieces become mainstream? And in turn how will this affect usage behaviour in particular device sharing?

On a similar note: CNN Health says that sex is good for you.

1. A longer life 

2. A healthier heart

3. Lower blood pressure

4. Lower risk of breast cancer

5. Lower risk of prostate cancer

6. Pain relief

7. A slimmer physique

8. Better testosterone levels

9. Fewer menopause symptoms

10. Healthier semen

A great piece of work that marries photography/art, engineering, and social impact.

Once Bigshot is put together, it functions like any other digital camera — even better than many, in that it features multiple lenses situated on a wheel. The wheel rotates to produce not only a standard perspective but also panoramic views via a wide-angle lens, and 3D images via a stereo lens. The website teaches photographic techniques, from traditional rules of composition (dividing the image field into thirds) to stitching together multiple pictures into David Hockneyesque collages. Energy produced by turning the hand crank powers the camera when its battery runs out of charge, and Bigshot’s single-LED flash can be used to each semiconductor technology.

Nayar has field-tested prototypes in New York, Bangalore and Vung Tau City, Vietnam, leading day-long workshops in which children build cameras in the morning, learn about photography techniques in the afternoon and present their images in the evening. (He is currently testing Bigshot in Japan and is planning forays into the Middle East and Africa.) Soon, he hopes, more of these exchanges will occur virtually, by way of his website. “Bringing down walls, visually transporting yourself to see how your eight-year-old peer in Israel, the West Bank or Africa lives,” he said. “That has great value.”

It's simply beautiful in all respects, by making an impact on young lives through hands-on education and exploration.

Lately I've been reminded of and realizing the importance of true craftsmanship and materials exploration. And manufacturing knowledge. Aaahh ...EAMES :)

John Nese owns Galco’s Soda Pop Stop in Los Angeles. Some highlights from the 13 min video:
- This guy turned down Pepsi.
- He buys full run of some small mom and pop soda producers, you can only find them at Galco's.
- Give American choices and they'll try it! "Freedom of Choice"
- Plastic bottles only hold carbonation for 4 months, glass is the way to go.
- Cane sugar is much better than corn syrup.
- Reinforces the fact that big businesses want complete control.

WOW, talk about niche market. www.sodapopstop.com

Alyce Santoro remembers those days too. And using the actual magnetic tape from old cassettes, mixed with equal parts colored thread, she creates Sonic Fabric. Along with Julio Cesar, she's created a Recycled Cassette Tape necktie. Since the tape itself is still magnetized, it actually emits audio when run under a tape-head. Granted, it's doubtful that you ever will. But you can hear the effect here.
