It’s the end of the summer, you proly need one more book to take you through the long weekend, no?
Angel’s Game was fun in a sorta dark, writer meets devil, makes bargain, loses love, wanders the streets of Barcelona, love letter to books, writers and the city kinda way.
—————Top Five—————
1. The book of space.
3. Why semantic search is going to take a while (or the real causes of AIDS and the real uses of Dr. Pepper). Which of course leads me to wonder why we are so lazy about structuring the world’s information (or naive or something)?
4. Remixing youtube… and a little bit of an explanation about… the process.
5. Ok, this is brilliant. Five years ago I don’t think anyone would have predicted that a musician would make money selling software applications, on cell phones, much less making his audience the performers. Yes, I’m always interested in autotune-like things because I have no sense of pitch and yet can’t stop torturing my loved ones while going on long road trips. And yes even bad things sound better…
————The Rest————-
IKEA Heights, episode 1 Not perfect but a clever idea done fairly well.
Spike gets his NYT interview. and Maurice has something to say too…
Buy a book before the book exists and help get it made…
Ok, I want this. Errr, or the value version…
On a related note, who doesn’t need a USB eye warmer once in a while?
Can’t not want these earbuds…must resist… can’t resist…must.
I know why the caged flower sings…
The preservation of favoured traces (or how Charles Darwin’s book shifted over time)… Nicely crafted by Ben Fry.
Click on his portfolio link, nice chair.
Can anyone doubt the power of Earth, Wind, and Fire?
I remember back in the 90’s going to a halloween party as a photoshop plugin (the theme was things starting with the letter “P”). People could stand behind me and anyone looking through the window in my chest would see the person behind me as a pointillist masterpiece. Yelp iphone app now has an augmented reality (AR) feature, download Yelp and shake your phone three times to enable it…. pretty basic but a start. Nice that you don’t need a 40K silicon graphics computer strapped on your back to do AR anymore (though my friends, those were the times….).
Can’t really explain this one beyond the fact that’s its an interactive music video, I guess.
House made of legos. Haven’t we always dreamed of such a thing?
Infoporn du jour…
