Jigsaw Cutlery

Had trouble sleeping last night because of this idea. I still haven't got the fork prongs exactly how I had envisioned them, but close enough. This set is meant to fit together via the cut-aways like a jigsaw puzzle, except nothing like a jigsaw puzzle. Also the fork looks more like a spork.

Computer Finger Print

Like the background?
Admittedly I could have made the pattern line up a bit better, but I am more interested in explaining it.

A few years ago I was messing around with photoshop, trying to see what the program was capable of. After a while I got bored and decided to use the Blur tool on the work I had just done. Hmm and whats that? The sharpen tool? would that restore the image? nope.

But what if I re Blur and sharpen again... and again... and yeah we get it. Thus the "computer finger print" was birthed.

Try it yourself, It is amazing the types of patterns that appear!
Mind you this is just a tiny fraction of the original Image... maybe 1/100th? You gotta zoom in a bit depending on your dpi.

Enjoy!

hm actually now that I think about it, the pattern is actually quite remarkable. Its sort of like order out of chaos. or something ha.

Not Your Dad's Plywood Speakers

Dads..Dad's?
Anyway, I had come up with this idea during my headphone rampage. I figured why not change it up a bit... ish.
A bent plywood backing (may make a square shaped one so don't get any thoughts!)
Cut a hole.
Put ball-bearing clasp.
Mount Speaker.

Something like that..

So essentially the back post, when twisted and turned, changes the orientation of the front speaker in relation to the backing. This will (theoretically) change the way the sound bounces off the back plywood wall, while simultaneously changing the direction of the forward wave. Maybe making some interesting sound variations...maybe. If you think a diagram might better inspire your taste buds I can post one after on request.

Hopefully this commercial I did in photoshop reads like a comic ish.

Pulse Speaker. - Jeff Pinard - Samuel (no consent) Jackson

Side note: I just came up with an idea.. the back ply could be bent in some sort of compound way so that when you rotate the speaker, the reflected sound is completely different, thus creating a different effect ie, more hollow or a warmer sound. Is that possible? or would you have to offset the speakers rotation ?

You?
