    Hey Jean-Michel. I love your decor. I especially love your concept fan/lamps. They really douche up the place.

    Much more stylish. And apparently more efficient than your standard ceiling fan.

    Designer Philippe Malouin might need a small primer on why ceiling fans are shaped the way they're shaped, and the very constructive airflow they generate.

    the long harsh winter was finally over. spring was finally upon anonymoose and he reveled in the warmth that brings new life.

    however, reveling is hard work and began to take its toll on anonymoose who knew not of a gentle way to revel. anonymoose began to perspire and quickly realized he needed some fanning.

    he turned on his dervish ceiling fan that he hadn't used in several months. the dust cloud that descended upon his living room filled him with an awe that was so reverent as to be classified as fear.

    with mouth agape in adulatory astonishment, the dust filled anonymoose's orifices, suffocating our young warrior on the spot. anonymoose's kin and mortgage company cursed his propensity for shedding and this new dervish ceiling fan so capable of dispensing dead skin cells.

    CURSE YOU DERVISH CEILING FAN

    @Anonymoose: I was thinking the same thing about the dust. Even with all the dust and pet hair still manage to adhere to the blades surfaces. Having several conventional ceiling fans I find the only way to really clean the blades well is to take them off and wash them.

    I would imagine firing up this mop would be akin to using a old-style vacuum cleaner bag full of dust & dirt as a piñata....

    Hrm. Replace the bits of cloth with a larger number of rigid translucent fan blades... that's be pretty awesome. A fully functional fan, diffuse and shifting lighting, and a nice conversation piece. Kudos.

    @DennyCraneDennyCraneDennyCrane: As someone who's had a fan with translucent blades I can tell you they aren't really that awesome.

    But hey, at least it's easier to see when they need to be cleaned...

    Now, just being a curious noob, he is using a stylus for this correct?

    @pretsal: I believe he actually used his finger, if you can assume the New Yorker article is being literal calling it "finger painting". And that actually is more than possible; I've used Brushes and it is (or can be) completely finger-driven. That said, there is an optional capacitive touch stylus one can get, the Pogo Sketch from Ten One Design, about $15 and easily well worth the investment.


    I have the stylus, it is nice, much more control than just using a finger, although there is something quite satisfying about using only your finger to paint. However, do be careful not to tilt the Pogo Sketch too far toward horizontal as the metal ferrule around the spongy tip can scratch into your iPhone's surface--at least on mine, where I have one of those clear "mylar" shield thingies on the glass, it did manage to scratch the shield. Lesson learned.

    Loved the funny about the 93 year old editor with the monocle. Happily the editor in charge of covers is sprightly 50-something Francoise Mouly, whose long experience in comix (she's Art Spiegelman's wife, was an editor of the classic RAW etc.) has made her NYer cover picks far from fusty.


    It's a very nice illustration, iPhone or not (and let's face it, it's just PR).

    @bosskev: Agreed, after looking at @MINI Driver: profile, there seems to be a pattern of comments... I.E.


    Swoon for apple/mac

    Disparage ms/windows

    call someone an idiot for having their own opionion

    disparage ms some more

    end with some impressive apple statistic


    I don't get it. It's like a f&@#ing fanboy haiku! I LOVE apple products. I have a first gen iphone, and a macbook pro 15inch (sadly only with the core duo) which just took a shat unfortunately, and had a G4 prior to that. I also have an HP DV5 which I love for everything my mac products don't do. Moral is, both companies DO bring something to the table. If someone likes MS better, just leave them to their own opinion and preference.


    On a higher note, Mini's are pretty cool cars..

    (you see that's called being nice to people)

    That this has happened, while an enormous achievement and milestone, is not completely surprising to me. Artists have been using the iPhone for many months now as a sort-of "mini-Wacom Cintiq tablet" (itself considered the gold standard of drawing tablets for digital artists).


    Here is a link to an amazing diversity of this iPhone with Brushes art:
