Dried on Paper

November 13, 2008 | Post a comment

I have no idea what this is, but a few people namely him and her and her aswell, received little packages through the post this week.  It was a little box containing a stamp, a piece of card and an ink pad.  When stamped it reveals an invite to an event tonight in Shoreditch Studio’s.  The event is called Dried on Paper but even the website doesn’t reveal any clues.  If nothing else, and even if the event is utter shite, I really like the invite. It made me put just the right amount of effort into it to get excited without loosing interest.  Will update tomorrow.

October 28, 2008 | Post a comment

Idee Labs have developed a tool that offers a new search function for Flickr. They have extracted the colours from 10 million of the most “interesting” Creative Commons images on Flickr and using their visual similarity technology users can navigate the collection by colour.

Papershow demo

October 27, 2008 | 2 comments

I’ve been asked to go and meet with the Papershow guys this evening, so I can demo the product and work out if I would really use it or not. I like the concept (the words digital paper was always going to be a winner) but can’t help wondering if this should be the Beta launch allowing room for additions to be made to the product as demand grows as the possibilities are endless. Anyway, I’ll let you know my thoughts tomorrow and in the meantime here’s a demo.

ACDC video through excel

October 27, 2008 | Post a comment

ACDC have produced the video for Rock n’ Roll Train in Excel format.  Produced by Sony BMG, the video shows images of the band on stage that have been created using characters within an Excel sheet.  The spreadsheet won’t actually run on a Mac however, you can view it on YouTube or at the top of this post.

Google Earth on the iPhone

October 27, 2008 | Post a comment

I have been putting off getting an iPhone so far because I do love my N95, and I am becoming increasingly less tolerant of iPhone users who insist it does everything bar make a cuppa in the morning however, this little app from Google (of course) is really starting to test me.  Google have altered their Google Earth software to take full advantage of the iPhone’s screen and functionality.  Users can search Google Earth as normal however, when digging down as far as street level, users can tilt their handset and explore areas in 3D. Can I haz one now?
