Sketch Swap is a fun little web page where you are able to draw something and send it to some random person that is also using the site. Sketch Swap will then give you a sketch that someone else has drawn. It can be a great way to get inspiration for a project, or even to just waste time on break at work.

Try it out, and draw something to give to someone else, and see what neat drawing someone else has for you.

Check out this video of people singing the song “Stand By Me” together via a collaboration of a mobile recording studio. It is a very inspirational piece seeming to make the world one small place.

In my browsing around the internet I ran across this project which has cause quite a stir in the blogging community. It is called tweenbots, and is an art/social experiment that Kacie Kinzer created. The robot that is on the website had a goal of getting from one corner of Washington Square Park in New York City to another.

Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.

The project was to see if people would actually take the few seconds to help the robot to it goal. Check out the video on the site and read to see if the little Tweenbot was able to get to his destination.
