The Eyeballing Game, can you estimate to the mm?

Here is one for you...
While I was checking some other blogs I run on to this post...
It simply links you to an another web page with a sort of a flash "game" that tests your eyeballing skills on some basics tasks...like trying to make a perfect 90 degree angle between two lines or finding the conversion point between three.
Well very funny...so all you people sketching out there just try it and check your score.
It's not so easy as it sounds! But maybe not so hard....

Static! : Increasing energy awareness

The Swedish Interactive Institute has been working on a project to redesign everyday items (lamps, tiles, window shades) in order to increase awareness of how energy is being used. Some of the projects are

-energy curtain

During the day, the shade can be drawn to the extent that people choose to collect sunlight and, during the evening, the collected energy is expressed as a glowing pattern on the inside of the shade

-flower lamp

The lamp ‘blooms’ – changing its shape and thus lit expression – when energy consumption in a household has been low for some time, thus reflecting the cycles of local energy use.
