Seek’s ‘Credit Superhero’ job post – it’s since been removed

Hilarious job post found on Seek.com.au (I think it featured yesterday). Sad that Seek can’t work out that this would be a great way of driving traffic to their site – instead they remove it – it’s doing no harm. Reminds me of the Amazon.com comments – that go that much further – this Denon [...]

My name spelt out on the streets of San Francisco…

Using Google Latitude a team of people ran around San Fran and, via their mobile phones, positioned themselves to spell out my name – viewable on this Google map. Of course that’s not strictly true. Its a ‘viral’ from the chaps at Google to showcase Latitude – real time positioning of friends on a map. [...]

Three case studies worthy of your time…

Uniqlo – Uniqlock by Projector. Undeniably one of the most innovative and creative uses of the web to date. Evident that technology didn’t get in the way – only enhanced and took it further. Tate Tracks by Fallon London. My favourite art space, the Tate Modern, reaching a new audience through the intersection of art [...]

Five photos with little explanation

Playing around with Ricoh GR on a mini tripod with a bottle of Talisker Whisky and a long exposure gave result to these two moody shots from Berrima last autumn. The gate Moon tree I kayak on the harbour a few times a week. Love the way the morning light magnifies the colour on the [...]

Stop-frame helicopter sea rescue

Great stop-frame story of a fisherman’s rescue from the rocks near Tamarama beach by photographer Keith Loutit. The photo effect makes the people seem like plastic figurines in a diorama. I’ve found a few tutorials on how to make this effect with stills photography on Digg.

Twitter data – the anti timesheet?

Katie Chatfield mentioned Xefer.com/twitter data visualisation tool at Ad:Tech Sydney. The tool allows you to plot a ‘twitterers’ behaviour over a week. Simply enter their profile and with a mixture of Google’s Chart API and Yahoo Pipes it magically plots the ‘twitterers’ habits. With a mild fascination in data and understanding online behaviour – it [...]
