From the army to the big city, 3D printing can be a real game changer
3D printing has great practical potential for the supply chain, as shown by the US army. Jerry Castanos saw its military application on his tour of duty in Afghanistan. That inspired him to open his own 3D printing business in New York City, 3D Heights, which offers 3D printers, related accessories, and lessons in using them. His goal is to be "the first" successful 3D printing retail store in the city. I spoke to about the confluence of his army experience with supply chain management and the uses for 3D printing.

A soft sell for sensors
Wearables go where no devices have gone before when designed to fit wherever one wants them on the body. Fitting the device to the body, rather than the body to the
device: that’s what defines the technology developed by MC10. This privately held company partners with
well-known brands, like Reebok, to bring its technology into the consumer space.
I spoke with Elyse Winer, Manager of Marketing &
Communications at MC10 about the company’s innovative products. Read about it in A Soft Sell for Sensors

It says:
Dear Rebecca _[Note: Baker didn't use the Oxford comma, so there's something for those who oppose it to point to.]

The quantified swoon, or how readers fall for Mr. Darcy
Personally, I've never had a crush on Mr. Darcy -- in book or film form. But I see I'm very much in the minority here. You just can't argue with data.
I wrote about the kind of data Oyster Books and similar services pick up on their readers a little while back in Reading & Being Read by E-Books
Now Oyster is sharing its data to track readers' fascination with Mr. Darcy. Here's the infographic that was shared by Huffington Post:

When seconds can mean the difference between life and death
MARVLIS presents geographic and EMS call data plotted on a map |
n emergency situations, response time can make the difference between life and death.
Since it deployed the Mobile Area Routing and Vehicle Location Information System (MARVLIS) in 2008, Jersey City Medical Center EMS says it has better-than-average response times and markedly improved survival rates. MARVLIS combines geographic information system technology, wireless communications, and a global positioning system to produce real-time information that enables emergency response teams to get to their destinations faster.

More efficient recycling with 3D printing
We generate so much plastic waste today that it has become a serious environmental problem. Some of us do put aside our plastic bottles for recycling, but even that endeavour requires energy consumption just to get the plastic to a recycling centre. Even more energy is needed for the actual recycling. There is a better way to reuse the plastic, and 3D printing makes it possible.Read more in

3D printing at MAD
My first-hand account of the 3D exhibit at MAD
Living in New York is wonderful for a number of reasons, but high on my list is access to so many great museums. Not only do we have world-famous museums, like the Met and the MoMA, but we have small, specialized museums that offer unique exhibits focused on innovations in art and technology. The Museum of Art and Design’s Out of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital, on view through until July 6th, is definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in digital design and production.
