NASA’s very cool and free Lunar Electric Rover Simulator app.

Ever wanted to know about those awesome glass staircase’s at the Apple Store?
The Wired Tablet, this is one good reason why Flash should be added to the iPad… who needs battery life. The Guggenheim’s Contemplating The Void, I love the mesh concept. Architect Daily’s Building of the Year 2009, this is my fav. Overcome Creative/Design block, some good advice from the pros. Massive re-brand job for the BBC, Global Visual Language 2.0.
WPTouch, a neat Plug-In to instantly turn your WordPress blog into a mobile theme.

Its been a week since the launch of the Apple iPad, I actually got up at 5am to follow the keynote presentation online. There was no surprise because the rumors and speculation that went on for months beforehand killed it. I agree, the name is a bad choice. There’s been a lot of talk about what the iPad doesn’t have, like a forward facing camera, alot of it from people who haven’t even laid their hands on one and looking at it from the wrong perspective.. The iPad fills a gap between your smart phone and your desktop, if you are expecting something more, then this is probably not for you. But you know, corporations are good at selling to us what we don’t need.
I think I’m the iPad’s target market. I use my iPhone for exactly what the iPad is made to do all day, light web surfing, YouTube, email, games, reading news/blogs, looking at photos etc… It’s the perfect in-between device for around the house usage, I can see us looking up recipes in the kitchen, checking reviews for a movie on the couch or even using it as a gps in the car. I’m thinking of getting the low end model to do all of the above when it arrives in Australia. The main feature I am keen on is the iBook and using it to view newspapers and magazines.
I’m not keen on Flash on the iPad, Flash is better suited to a larger screen when its done well. I can see why Apple is not supporting it though, Flash applications would kill the App Store control and structure, Flash based games and media applications would rival what the App Store have. So now there is a four way shit fight between Apple, Adobe (Flash), Amazon (Kindle, ebooks) and Google (Nexus One, Apps, Voice etc…).
I really like the Google Tablet concept. Mad TV – iPad. iPad rips off the bookshelf. iPad PDA-Engine-Bra.
My DAYTUM. Only my recent bike ride distances so far.
I’m interested in tracking and graphing data, I’ve been keeping, for about 8 years now, a pen & paper and more recently an excel sheet of my spending. Wondering how all this would look graphically, what kind of spending trends come of it.
I love making lists and reading lists, here’s a bunch:
Brand New’s Beast & Worst 2008
Time’s Top 10 of Everything of 2008
20 signs you don’t want that web design project
Obama 08 logos

We rented this baby for a recent shoot and jebus! its awesome. Image quality wise, the D80 just doesn’t compare.

Popper Box is creative fun. Check out our videos via YouTube and vimeo and photos via Flickr.
The MacBook Air is super sleek and nice, but I imagined and hoped it would be more like the iPod touch four times bigger.

Well, I’ve had the iPod touch for about a week now, playing with it constantly everyday!
This little gadget is so sexy! I haven’t played with something like this and felt the glee of technology since I got my other iPod 3 years ago. Reviews have said that its lacking compared to the iPhone, but we don’t get those down here till next year so you don’t miss what you haven’t got I guess. Surfing the net on the touch is nice, its almost like the real thing without Flash and Quicktime. I’ve emailed via webmail, GMail mobile is simple and clean, went to Amazon to test order a book, Googled stuff, set up Google Reader so I can read all my RSSed blogs and found my house on Google Maps. Facbook is great on the touch too. YouTube is fun, most or all of the popular videos are searchable to watch, even our nerds video.
Typing on the on screen keyboard takes getting used to, mistakes are common. some of the controls don’t pick up your finger input and require several tries sometime.One thing that surprised me was how strong the WiFi detection is, I was driving home one night and decided to see if I could pick up any network. From a short 3km car trip I was constantly picking up people’s WiFi, about half of them were unlocked and I could join. Some of the names were just the modem name like Dlink, Netgear, others were nick names, one was the address of the house it was coming from! and one had “I smell sex and candy” I was never out of range of a single network, blocked or unblocked. If everybody unblocked their WiFi this could potentially be a nice roaming network.
