Kouta Minamizawa (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Masashi Nakatani (JP), Soichiro Mihara (JP) and Susumu Tachi (JP) have been working for a considerable time now on the development of haptic interfaces and technology to thereby add a third medium – in addition to audio and video – to the creative repertoire available to digital art and design. To precisely describe what they’re after, Kakehi & Co. have coined the term “techtile,” a portmanteau word that combines “technology” and “tactile.”

Day 70 of 2015. I recently created a new visioning toolkit as part of my DIY Strategy / Culture kit created in partnership with Duende and many contributors. Today, I watched it in use for the very first time, thanks to my friend, Sara. I got great feedback and am planning some significant adjustments. I love rapid prototyping!
Home energy saving kits are now available to borrow at all Dublin City Public Libraries.
The Home Energy Saving Kits have been developed by Dublin's energy agency Codema and contain six practical tools to help the public save energy at home. The items in the toolkits address three key areas of energy use in the home - space heating, hot water and electricity consumption - and can help identify common problems such as lack of insulation, poor ventilation and the appliances in the home that might be driving up electricity bills.
My hand sewing skills are a bit shaky here but I've definitely improved since making this case, which holds my jewellery tools and an extra pocket for notes.
Picks, clamps, sticks, little flamethrower, non-stick cooking spray, silicone brush, tweezers ... all very helpful! :-)

A HEAL toolkit for communities and individuals wishing to reduce local pesticide use
Pesticides are chemicals designed to be toxic, and in many cases their toxic nature can be harmful to our health and the environment.
Mounting scientific evidence of the harm to human health and the environment from current pesticide use prompted the European Union (EU) to introduce a package of new laws to reduce our pesticide dependency. However, many Governments are being slow about carrying out the laws.
The toolkit is aimed at community groups and individuals wishing to reduce pesticide use in their communities and local areas. HEAL has drawn on experience of international pesticides and health campaigns to create a 6 step guide packed full of examples and model campaign materials.
1. What’s the problem?
2. The lay of the land
3. Pin-pointing objectives
4. Reaching your audience
5. Sharing best practice and building momentum
6. Keeping up the momentum – sharing information

Making Sense was a project funded by the European Commission within the H2020 Call ICT2015 Research and Innovation, under the CAPS “Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation” programme. It was designed to show how open-source software, open-source hardware, digital maker practices and open-source design could be used effectively by local communities to appropriate their own sensing tools to make sense of their environments, and address environmental problems, mainly in air pollution, noise and nuclear radiation. Based on nine elaborate pilots in Amsterdam, Barcelona and Prishtina, Making Sense developed a toolkit for participatory sensing, aimed at deepening our understanding of the processes which can enable collective awareness for sustainability. The toolkit consists of hardware, software and guidelines.
