Saw this hastly put together barricade at a train station. A short term solution to crowd control. Bit of a mess of parts.

The world will soon become a melting pot of different cultures coming together with ideas or traditions bouncing and evolving off each other.  Good or bad, it is interesting to see that some of our habits are more similar than we know.

For example the amount of tea or coffee we drink in a cup in one go. 

Check out how this hand made Japanese tea cup for Ocha (green tea) is a perfect fit for a preset machine brewed shot of cappuccino.

Check out this tripod mounted video camera. That Flip like video player looks lost on that tripod.

Interestingly the tripod design does not seem to be keeping up with the pace of miniturization the video camera “suffers” from.
