I got jealous of Matt’s recent “SuperFoam” chair post and had to find one of my own. This one is from a Taiwanese design student named Yu-Wing Wu.

They’re manufactured by Germany’s On The Run, but you won’t find them on their website. The one I got was gold; the silver ones below were photographed by Flickr user $30,000.

Here’s a neat physical computing project in London. The Bus-Tops project is planning to install around 40 LED screens on the tops of bus stations around London, and is inviting the public to develop content to put on them.
