The Facebook charter states:
I am so hoping I'm seeing a trend here...

Love this piratebay slideshow from Vaxzine. While you're there, check out his awesome whiteboard mindmaps.
Well, don't want to bore you with the details, but the comments weren't working because I had built Motion to use a particular url for the admin (I didn't want the trailing "/mt/.cgi" in the url.
BUT ANYHOOOO it looks like they may finally be working again :-)
Love this and the post it comes from is well worth a read.
Love this green handset concept from greenergrass
LINC is a typical touch screen smart phone with all the connectivity and features you come to expect. Its got a cell phone, a media player, a web browser, GPS, downloadable content, Bluetooth, wifi, the latest 3G network. But here's the catch. LINC is leased to the user as a service, not a product.
Love it. You don't own it, you live with it for a while and then it gets morphed into something else once your new LINC has arrived in the post (in its green packaging, of course).
Another great deck from Priya. I particularly love the simple needs matrix on slide 6, "Search topologies" which leads into the presentation of the three key experiences.
I'm looking for ways to map value to experience and when the needs matrix is simple enough, a nice one-to-one relationship between need and UI benefit works well. That said, when your needs matrix goes bonkers (how big was your last corporate intranet needs matrix) it gets harder to map one-to-one...
The search for scalability continues apace :-)
Well Nicki said "entertain the kids" so Clem took that to mean "let's put paint all over Dad's face". Not a bad tiger. Or lion. Or...
I was just about to shutdown and head hamewards when I noticed this fab iPhone app, a game by designers for designers. Don't know if the game is any good but I loved this comment from Craig Thomas
Comments...
Is there an App that informs you when you've crossed the work / life threshold? Perhaps it could detect games like this and automatically suggest suitable punishments.

Kudos to Special Ops Media somewhere in the freeworld (5th avenue). They've just arranged for Skynet to contact me inviting me to participate in a robotic design competition. The Skynet website says it all. This is a company that wants to save the world through the benevolent application of science from primary schools to the armed forces.
Here's a small-print example of their benevolent attitude:
Defensive and limited offensive weapons can only be activated by the MAGS controller and automatically replenish themselves after engagements. Currently in limited deployment at undisclosed locations, MAGS is already making the world a safer place!
Because the last thing we need is autonomous gun platforms that can't walk around freely reloading themselves...
No, wait... where have I heard this before... Sarah, is that you?!?

I've been working on my own type of CSS framework lately. When Shaun Inman released the update to the Server-Side CSS Processor last year, I jumped on the bandwagon and made a layout plugin for it, which then turned into a Coda Plugin. After toying with each of these methods, I decided that Cacheer was the way to go. (see the video)
This is like Textile for HTML... I love the way the shortcuts assume knowledge of CSS. In other words, the framework isn't a substitute for proper CSS knowledge but rather a set of useful shortcuts for someone who understands what's going on in the background. Will defo need to get hands on beta...
How did I miss this one...
"Malaria is spread by mosquitoes," Gates said while opening a jar onstage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference -- a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.
"I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected."
Go Bill :-)
Give to get:
The system does not promote Orange's text or phone packages at all. In fact, there is not a sales aspect to this interactive. It doesn't show devices, nor does it line up tariffs or offers in any way. You would have to go into the store during opening hours to access these. What the window does offer the passer- by is a fun experience, with free content and information services that may be of interest (eg. ITN news feeds, film clips, music videos etc).

Love this giant post-it pad made with paper and pallet :-)
Nicki assures me the the 'alt' in altbier has to do with aging not alternatives. Whatever the case, Franco produced this fabulous panorama with the groovy Panolab iphone app :-)
