Toilet roll art
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009more augmented reality
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Came across this one recently but forgot to post it.
General Electrics new campaign about their new “Smartgrid” which is an overhaul/update of americas power grid and aims to get better at distributing alternative energy and anticipate power outages. Sounds fine to me.
Either way, it’s a beautifully produced site, which features some augmented reality (so you need a printer).
Trees drawingL
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
Yes, trees that draw rather than drawings of trees or drawing on them. Nice art project by Tim Knowles.
More about the project over at Lines and Color.
A different take on news design
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009NYTimes seems to be doing a lot of interesting things lately. One being opening up a search API for all the articles, another being this different layout for skimming the articles.
Their reference function is also pretty neat. Mark a word or a phrase…
Click the question mark and you’ll get a popup with a search for the word.
soundtrack of this afternoon
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Ok, I spent most of the day listening to the new MSTRKRFT album. Which kicks serious ass, but…
The music video of today is a dnb track by The Qemists.
Thanks to Linda L. for the tip.

What the font? iPhone stylee
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
One more via Swissmiss … 
I have big news! What heFont, the ingenious font recognition app that I use on a regular basis is now available for the iPhone.
With the iPhone version of WhatTheFont you can use the phone’s built-in camera to photograph the text in question (or choose an existing image from your photo albums). The app allows you to crop the image, focusing on only the important parts before uploading. After confirming which characters are used in the image, the app provides a list of possible matching fonts. You can then either e-mail a link to a MyFonts page with more info on that font, or open it up in the iPhone’s built-in Safari web browser.

Sharky Tea Infuser
Saturday, February 14th, 2009Found this concept a few days ago at PicoCool (Sharky Tea Infuser).
Nice take on making tea (but the sorapot is my favourite I think, should add a post with that one as well).
