2010 IDSA National Conference - see you there!
By Core Jr - Jun 25, 2010
The 2010 IDSA National Conference is fast approaching (Aug 4-7). This year's event is in one of our favorite cities, Portland, OR (home to the soon-to-be-revealed Core77 retail operation). We'll be there, happily participating as a media sponsor and coordinating the Portfolio Review, as always. And of course, we're putting the wraps on plans for our annual conference bash.
The conference theme is DIY - Threat or Opportunity? and addresses the booming DIY movement from all angles - technology, craft, crowdsourcing, independent producers, and more. They've put together a great list of speakers, with more being added regularly. And they're inviting participation through photo uploads and a DIY poster initiative.
To sweeten the deal, the IDSA is running a contest to give a free registration and hotel stay to a lucky attendee. The contest is open to all registrations completed now through July 6, so sign up before next weekend to get in on that. See you in PDX!

This Saturday night in Gowanus...Jello!
For the second year in a row, Jello will take design center stage in Brooklyn this Saturday night at the GSS Jell-O Mold Competition. This year's theme is "resilience" (will be challenging, considering the, um, medium) and I'll be a judge along with Becky Stern of Make: Online and CRAFT,...

Jurors have a hard time (in a good way) determining 2010 International Design Excellence Awards top prize
That there is the proverbial better mousetrap. The OneDown mousetrap's ingenious design is simple to "set," with no danger of snapping your fingers in anything; it clearly indicates when it's captured something (the weight of an entering mouse rolls it from horizontal to vertical); and there's no mess, as it...
