Very cool use of the multi-touch screen technology for the Surface table.

Ever have the feeling you’re going from RGB to CMYK to Greyscale to Bitmap? Yeh… me too.
Thanks Ron, for the link to this cool new blog about studio work spaces. That PictoBrowser is awesome too.
of the US of A. National Design Awards 07. I’ve had these two links on my desktop about Jonathan Ive for a while, seem appropriate to link them now since he won the Product Design category.
Someone that Jonathan might have been inspired by is Dieter Rams because his early monitor design looks a lot like the Mac monitors of today. I’ve got Ross Lovegrove’s book on order at Amazon but I am still waiting for it as it has been delayed for over half a year now.
There is some good news with the Stateless Vietnamese in the Philippines, I’ve heard from a friend who is volunteering there that the Canadian government are willing to accept the remaining 157 refugees. There is still some things to sort out, but if this goes ahead, then this is great news! Some of the children there who are in their teens have never known a life outside of the camp walls. This human tragedy can’t go on.
This is slightly old news, but its the first time I’ve heard about it. I think this will make all the other reseller Apple Centre’s in Sydney pretty pissed because it will take away their business, especially the Clarence street store.

James Morrison and the “sydney choir”, the show was so so, James is like an electric eel on stage, often being annoyingly drowned out by the audience singing over his raspy voice.

Hopefully the start of a new photo series, photographing the men and women who risk* their lives to stop cars for children, morning and afternoon, yes, the lollipopeople.
*over dramatic

Janolan caves and the Blue Mountains are spectacular, one sinking below the depths of crust while the other thrusts above it. Last time I was at the Blue Mountains was for an excursion in primary school. Its less scary now.

Everyone is getting married! Maurice and VJ, Leo and Denise. Next will be baby showers.
