Koloroo: Color scheming tool for iPod. Generates colorschemes as you move your thumb over the clickwheel. Wonderful idea!

I have some of the ~~coolest~~ nerdiest friends ever. How great is that?! The Versal ß on a badge? With its unicode code? This will be killer for some and a big WTF for most. Beautiful.

Just for fun (and for testing Flickrs video encoding capabilities): The Fashion performing Like Knives at Amp, Münster. Here are some photos.

Turns out it was a nice gig but nothing to write home about. Sometimes it felt like they could have used a fourth (or fifth) guy to play all the quirky synthie sounds. It was a bit flat at times, but still a cool show. More pictures follow.

I’ll be out tonight to see These New Puritans and I’m really anxious. They’re in my personal top spot for this years best album, mostly for their complex, harsh sound. I’ll take my camera, so expect some photos of the fine mess that’s going to go down at Grüner Jäger tonight. Yeah.

Indiana Jones Iconset

Tue, 06 May 2008 13:16:00 -0400

Indiana Jones Iconset: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom gave me the worst nightmares I ever had when I first saw it. These icons won’t though, because they’re beautifully crafted. And by the way: Wahoo, it’s Indy time again! I’m really looking forward to the movie, although I’m a bit anxious it might spoil my childhood ~~memories~~ nightmares. And finally, just in case anyone is interested: I’m selling these fine leather jackets!

Why have magazine ads ever stopped to look so beautiful? This one is amazing too (and very mod). And there’s a whole bunch more here.

twistori: Interesting Twitter-based app that searches for phrases and creates miniature storys. Neat idea!

Our middle Name

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:19:11 -0400

Our middle Name: Jonathan Hoefler of Hoefler & Frere-Jones on the history and development of the ampersand. The ampersand is one of my favourite typographic symbols (trailing only curly brackets), and the Georgia one in this paragraph just doesn’t do it for me. &! Ah, that’s better.

This ain't no Disco: A showcase for agency interiours. Maybe I should submit my workspace.

“Here’s something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships broken. Here’s something four-year-olds know: Media that’s targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for.”

- Clay Shirky
Good point by Clay Shirky (whose argumentation I used at length in my exam paper) on how social media puts surplus creativity to good use for the first time in history. (Via bitpimp)
