i_have_an_ace says: WOOD WORKERS?Hello everyone. I am teaching english here, but in another life I was a product designer. I want to manufacture some furniture (bent ply based stuff), and I have NO idea where to start.
Does anyone know a good cabinet maker / furniture craftsman around Tokyo, or where there might be one?

AlfieGoodrich says: Purinto Gokko machine
I have a pal who wants me to source one of these for her. Anyone know where I can get one in Tokyo?
Just for those of you who dont know what I am taking about:
Gocco (プリントゴッコ, Purinto Gokko, "Print Gocco") is a self-contained compact color printing system invented in 1977 by Noboru Hayama.
Using flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen.
The name "print gocco" is derived from the Japanese word and concept gokko (ごっこ, gokko), loosely translated as a type of make-believe play used to learn common rules and knowledge.
In December 2005, Gocco’s parent company, Riso Kagaku Corporation, announced it would end production of the Gocco system due to low sales in Japan. An Internet campaign was started to find a new home for the product.

voice saysI am a designer from the Netherlands, and I wanna shoot an idea your way, see what you guys think.
Whenever I'm in a foreign country, I always go to the magazine stands and try to find magazines with a fresh graphic style that I don't find at home. It doesn't really matter what the magazine is about, or that I can't read the text, I "read" these magazines for the design and the look&feel. I use them to get inspired, and to see how another culture gives shape to certain ideas and styles.
I was thinking if it wouldn't be cool to create a snail-mail "pen pal" network, where you can request foreign magazines from one of the members, and send magazines from your country back.
I'd love to see some tattoo, music, sports, graffiti, art magazines from your country!

Savant says: New graphics for the group "icon"I'd like to start rotating the graphic used in the group description/thumbnail. Being busy and with 186 members, I'm expecting I can get at least a few to rotate between ;)
If you would like to contribute, please post your designs in the comments to this post or mail them to me. Once I have received (hopefully more than a few) contributions, I will start rotating the graphics every week.
Requirements:
Designs should be within 150 x 200 pixels in size.
Please do not submit designs that use someone else's work, unless it is rights free or you have permission to do so.
Go forth and design!

joan jimenez says: Houyhnhnms.tv The Artelevision Community
HOUYHNHNMS.TV EXPERIMENTS WITH THE FUTURE TV
"Inspire the world! It can be changed!! " This way, Houyhnhnms.tv presents itself as a TV-format creators' community where its own members supply the contents and determine the TV listings and the editorial line by voting. "The future TV is online, and it will be communal and interactive" according to the creator's project, Joan Jiménez.
Houyhnhnms.tv wishes to be a TV which is directly born from the inspiration.
An environment inviting us to experience new concepts and share audiovisual dreams with no intermediaries.
Though Spanish by birth, its language is English and its mind is Global. It intends to reach all audiovisual professionals and/or lovers with "artistic inclinations", because it aims to respond to the more demanding and specialized audience who fails to find its own style in other audiovisual sites.
You may become a member of this community and have your own account, ( http://www.houyhnhnms.tv/signin.php );once registered, users can broadcast their own videos or just be part of the audience of the different channels: Challenge, Films, Short Films, Micromovies, Animotion, Videoart, Music Videos, Artvertising and Artventures.
The first Houyhnhnms came out in 2002 as a global Flash Inspirational Experiment; as an intellectual challenge for creators, programmers and designers.
In that first release, we challenged all creators worldwide to create a unique and original spot/movie: 3.5 million hits, the participation of creators from 27 different countries, over 500 proposals, a Möbius/Unesco/Uab prize and the actual houyhnhners finally deciding which were the 23 best creations, made the first Houhnhnms a thrilling project that now wants to go on exploring new creative and technological methods.
Moreover, now this platform appeals to social movement through its community, because the houyhnhners themselves define the editorial line by choosing which contents will make up the TV listings. Therefore, whether a success or a failure, the future of this project is in the hands of its users, by experiencing this TV format which, according to its creator, will be standard in future TVs.
