Unfinished Swan

The Unfinished Swan – Tech Demo 9/2008 from Ian Dallas on Vimeo.

Imaginary Friends

October 29th, 2008 at 9:47 am 0 comments.

Creating an imaginary friend allows you to see your friends content within friendfeed even if they don’t use friendfeed. I can’t decide if it is a cheap version of data portability (good) or an additional layer to add to social network fatigue. If widely implemented you may find yourself managing your imaginary friends as you would your real or fake friends.

Windowshop lets you browse the New, Bestselling and Editor picks from Amazon. Features a fast arrow key interface. Previews in place with video or Audio (!) for books. Pretty nice.

Past and Present photo comparison

October 24th, 2008 at 3:28 pm 0 comments.

The accompanying photo to an article on the GM building plaza and its relatively new occupant, the 5th Avenue Apple store had this unique feature. Rather than have two photographs side by side to indicate the “look how much it has changed” the photograph is split and you are given a handle to move the window shade down to reveal the past or up to expose the present.
