Ice skating in a winter festival atmosphere?
CarriageWorks’ Winterland – Sydney’s Coolest Festival.

Cit/ID, honour your city for the Cit/ID Project.

A message from Steve Jobs about Flash. From what I’ve read on this topic, Adobe really dropped the ball with mobile Flash because of bad management chasing the bottom line.

Check out the videos on the site, best use of Augment Reality I’ve seen so far.

A definitive read up on the branding of  Adobe’s CS5.

This Alice in Wonderland App for the iPad looks like so much fun for kids to interact with. Pop up books for the digital age.

Sonar has to be one of those simple things you see and just have to agree its brilliant. Star Wars Uncut, is just crazy! In a good way.

The photographer behind the iPad Home Screen image, Richard Misrach.

The @ symbol is now part of the very fabric of life all over the world and now part of MoMA’s design collection.

Weird name to say but nice concept for browsing fonts.

I’m all for reading printed matter, magazines, books and newspapers on portable devices, I’m just not sure if the old ways of flipping pages or a direct translation of the printed matter into digital form really cuts it. So the one thing that I really want is that if I’m buying a digital copy of a magazine, it has to be more that a direct translation of the printed version, it has to feel more immersive than reading a website version of an article.

There’s going to be a new skill set for designers to fill, that of creating/translating print content over to digital and for software companies to create the tools that let the designers do this without having to learn a programming language.

The Wired Table and Mag+ concept are two of the most promising digital magazines so far. Woodwing’s Content Station looks okay, but feels very clunky and cheesy, like early WYSIWYG html editors for making web pages. I’m not sure if these Sports Illustrated – Time Inc Tablet demos where created using Content Station.

This is my Entourage email Sent folder, 19, 719 emails sent since 2001. Its probably over the 20K mark because I’ve deleted things along the way. I have emails dating back to 1999. My email database is 10 Gigs. I’m sure some people will have a lot more than I do. Its interesting going back to old emails, it shows what you were like back then by the way you communicate.

yum.

Desktop is minimal.

Tanzaku very similar to Grid-A-Licious. I Love this retro Mac theme.
