Trends in Trends, and Hacking

In today’s trendwatching podcast, Nora Young raises a trend they’ve been, er, tracking on thesniffer, since the podcast’s early days: monitoring and tracking.  Trendwatching lists “tracking and alerting” as one of their Crucial Consumer Trends for 2010, and, well, Nora thinks they’re right.  Check out the examples here.

Meanwhile, Cathi Bond points to these great examples of modding old technology.  (via Craziest Gadgets)

  1. Hi Ladies

    Love the oil lamp! BTW, I think you can get a rare earth magnet at Efston science or check out my friend Don’s new magnet game called Yikerz at http://www.dontquoteme.com/yikerz.html

    I am in the process of modding some old tech. I have an antique wooden radio that no longer works. The plan is to build a media server inside to deliver audio and video around the house.

    Cheers!
