Post-it note overload

Beautiful and elegant or garish and wasteful? Your call.

Guideline #1 – don’t shout at people.

Guideline #2 if your name is confused.com,  feel free to ignore guideline#1

I got violated by this last night. Enjoy.

You are the synth..

testing a Kinect with SuperCollider from stefan on Vimeo.

Totally bad ass.  Bit FX heavy for my liking – would have preferred a selection of retro 808 beats to keep things groovy

Be kind, please rewind..

My apologies, but it’s been a bit quiet at the table recently. Aside from the usual day-job commitments, I’ve been focussing my efforts on an ongoing side-project that’s been in the pipeline for the past four or so months…and is now, I’m quite happy to announce –  finished.

Exploring what I feel are some important themes in digital living and trying to make sense of this increasingly Internet dependant world we’re bumbling around in, I’ve pulled together all my thinking in a deck of colourful slides and commentary.

As always, discussion is most welcome and if you like, please share around/download!

Hyundai Accent – 3D Mapping craziness

Nice. This stands out as one of the better attempts at 3D Mapping in recent times. Not too sure about the stock footage of keeno bystanders filming/tweeting/web2.0 ‘ing their ‘experience’ but the coolness of this video more than compensates.

The Internet in Society – Empowering or Censoring Citizens?

Another great animation/lecture from the RSA. This time, Evgeny Morozov discusses the Internet and its relative importance and influence in the empowerment of individuals..or not perhaps?

Intel – The Chase Film..

I can’t help but think this looks a little ‘Euro-Porn’, but maybe that’s just me. Nonetheless, quite a smart and fitting way of demonstrating how fast Intel want you to think their new processors are.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..

Whilst the British moaned about the pithy 8 inches of  snow grinding all our lives to a frosty hault, Michael Black filmed this impressively crazy time-lapsed video of the recent blizzards that hit the East Coast of the US.

That’s a lot of snow.

The Santa Brand Book..

In case you hadn’t noticed, Christmas is just around the corner. And despite the snow inflicting its carnage on commercial business up and down the British Isles there is as ever, a distinctively festive brand presence :

Cue –  ’Everything-for-everyone’ M&S ad (great new choice of lingerie model, terrible choice of Jamie Redknapp ‘DJing’ –  I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so pointless)

Cue - ‘Coming-home-for-Christmas’ John Lewis ad, ( nice music )

Cue - ‘When-on-earth-will-they-get-rid-of-that-bloody-music’  Boots ad (bland and forgettable)

So what are your big brands during this festive season? According to some very funny people at quietroom , Santa is definitely one to watch ..

*Santa* is a Concept, not an idea. It’s an

Emotion, not a feeling. It’s both Yesterday

and Today. And it’s Tomorrow as well.
