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 [...]

64 red bulls & 9 gallons of coffee
The making of Telematics City by Hook. Is a data visualization trip through the creation of a 3d city, from app to wireframe, to render and fly-through – featuring 1200 buildings.

Sony Mylo – I want one, I think
Well the idea of ditching my mobile for this would be perfect, no more bloody ringtones, just turn it on when I want to be connected. Unfortunately Sydney is behind on the wifi networks around town, so you’d need an alternative connection channel. No doubt this is the first of many devices that will bring [...]
