The "computational knowledge engine"

















Created by Stephen Wolfram - a rather clever guy! - scientist, inventor, author, and business leader.

I am absolutley fascinated by this new search engine.

It gives you real answers and real information...



Type in your name and it tells you how common it is:

Apparently my name is most often found in old people - but i feel the average age of 3 years for Ellie evens it out a tad


It calculates sums

AND

if you type in 'the meaning of life'


It tells you '42' as in the answer to life, the universe, and everything, from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy



Pure genius!

Squid London



I have recently come across a wonderful new company called Squid London, using revolutionary fabric and ink technology. Literally: 'Paving the way for the future of textiles'


They have produced a limited edition range of umbrellas using hydrochromatic inks.

This mean that when the rain starts to fall ( which lets face it happens a LOT here) a magical colourful design appears from almost nowhere.


Amazing!!!
