- The Macalope Weekly: Choices
The Macalope was surprised to read this week that the default search engine on one of Verizon’s latest Android offerings will not be Google, but Bing (tip o’ the antlers to Daring Fireball). Guess that settles it. Android is open!
Well, not exactly. Turns out it’s Bing and only Bing.
Yeap. Android is open. Some more open than others…

- Holes or Slashes
The Argentinean sculptor and painter, Lucio Fontana quite literally cuts through modern art, with these iconic paintings.
The slashes through the monochromatic paintings, which he describes as an art for the Space Age, with which its concepts are very much ahead of his time, still lingers in my mind today.
You can catch some of Fontana’s famous series “Buchi o Tagli” (holes or slashes) this month from the 27th of September at the Robilant+Voena in London.

Microsoft celebrates Windows Phone 7 RTM with funeral parade for BlackBerry and iPhone — Engadget:
Not what we believe in.
Especially because everyone knows that Darth Vader rides a Harley Night Rod. Microsoft can’t even get that right.

- jotOnce
jotOnce allows you to write a message, encrypt it, add a password and give that password to whoever you want; that person then can retrieve the message. You can set the lifetime of the message and further authentications. All done in a very simple way. From the about page:
Have a secret message to send to a friend but don’t want to leave an email trail? Afraid of the privacy with other messaging methods? Write a jot. Set a short expiration time and tell them to check jotOnce.com with the password.
Fantastic!

“I bag on meetings because like any nerd I expect the universe to be efficient and orderly and there is no more vile a violation of this sense of orderliness than a room full of people randomly bumping into shit and calling it a meeting.”

- Collector’s Loft
We use the ‘Box’ and the ‘Blob’, says Dutch architect Ben van Berkel, and the ‘Box’ is dead.
Van Berkel’s Amsterdam-based architectural firm UNStudio refuses to settle into a boxy image. Instead, they experiment with progressive architectural practices, characterized by repetition of just a few elements and asymmetrical curves. This often results in unexpected insights.
UNStudio designed this loft in downtown Manhattan for a New York art collector, who is going to live in his gallery. The living space aims to merge life and art, so that both aspects flow into each other. Flowing curved walls were introduced to make the boundaries between aesthetics and functionality disappear.
Avant garde interpretations of a living space with a sense of freedom where I can adjust levels of privacy while I live, work and play—in a “lessness” way.

This docking station is just a concept for now but I’m sure it would sell like hotcakes if ever produced.

A green, solar powered, small house | New York Times:
Modular, solar powered and with the option of adding or removing rooms and entire floors. It’s a great idea.

- On single-tasking
An old post of Minimal.
Single-tasking is performing one task at a time. Instead of trying to do a lot of things at once, we sequentially do one at a time. It’s a great idea. Clean, simple and refreshing: being able to focus on only one task. Don’t begin another until the one you’ve already started is complete.
It seems easy to do. It’s not. It takes a lot more effort and conscious will to actually achieve single tasking. You really need to prioritize each task very carefully in advance, otherwise you can find yourself working on something that, while important, wasn’t urgent.
