State of the Internet 2009/10
Deutchy, a colleague, just shared this info-graphics video on the state of the internet. Nice treatment and gets the blood pumping with the inherent opportunity and LARGE numbers. Timing couldn’t be more perfect for the start of ADMA Digital Certificate course this year – always good to get current data in a more accessible format. [...]

My ‘Hardchorus’ for Rachael
Lovely bit of work from Puma, The Hardchorus. An unlikely choir sing their hearts out for valentines and match day! Nice and simple Facebook integration allows you to get the message to your loved one. Would have been nice to have seen the personalisation in a spoken name, rather than text on screen, but no [...]

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 [...]

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. It seems to be commissioned by Toyota and Lexus and I think is interactive from the console / kiosk featured on the Hook website. [...]

Vision of 2019
Hoorah for Tom, another inspirational share to add to my collection of ‘digital educational’ videos (now topping 14). “When Microsoft decides to imagine the future, it never fails to impress.” Shame they struggle with the present.
Another two videos that explore digital
This first clip, thanks to Tyson Lundbech via Twitter explores how mobile technologies can reconnect local communities to their environment. Tyson’s timing couldn’t be better – I’ve just come back from lunch at Google where I saw a demo of the gPhone – in particular seeing how the camera, Google Maps, and wiki content can [...]
8 videos that inspire & explain the opportunities of digital
Need your help in finding more. Last year I started teaching the ADMA Digital Certificate in Marketing thanks to an introduction from Mike at Profero. 14 Tuesday nights later, great guest speakers, the marking of 28 exams and presentations – I’m doing it all again. As you can imagine keeping the course up-to-date is a [...]
10 informational diagrams, by Mr Armano
Mr Armano, can I call you David? David [amongst other things] creates diagrams that simplify this quagmire of information that we try to make sense of on a daily basis. These ‘informational graphics’ make the complex simple and provide [me] a way to frame my thinking. The following diagrams aren’t in any particular order. They’ve [...]

Blip.fm the annotated music network
Annoying that the embeddable button (above) doesn’t really work with my widget width (you know what I mean, right?). Enjoy this whilst its on my homepage (click play), which will probably be a while, as my publishing behaviour is far from regular so it’ll take some time to move to the next. More importantly have [...]

The balloon race is on!
I’ve exhausted my ‘booster can’ already, mainly down to the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing… just clicked away on the arrows. Unsure when the booster gets replenished, but I need some speed.. got a long way to go to win this race. So far I’ve been across some odd blogs, mainly [...]

Inspired by WeFeelFine; Twistori
Big fan of data exploration and what better social network to explore that the stream of conciousness that twitter empowers and delivers. Twistori is a project that explores twitter comments by instances of the words ‘I; love, hate, think, believe, feel, and wish. In much the same way that Johnathan Harris’s We Feel Fine does, [...]

Wow Wii
Its taken me forever to watch this TED clip, so its no doubt old news to everyone else. Johnny Lee, a human interaction researcher, show’s how the Wii remote can be adapted, at minimal cost, to become a 3d interface for learning and inventive game play. I like the fact that he’s got a massive [...]
