This Tweenbot (a small robot that can only move forward) was able to make it from one corner of Washington Square Park to the other in 42 minutes...with a little help from his friends (29 of them). This was an experiment conducted by NYC student Kacie Kinzer who built the robot.
“One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”

Deep Font Challenge, is a shooting gallery like game testing designers skill in identifying and distinguishing font families, good luck typophiles! Here is a Periodic Table of Typefaces a list of 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious (compiled from several sources noted on the poster). Grouped by classification it includes: family, rank, designer and year created...very nicely done, and a great reference, enjoy. Adobe Cards is an Adobe promotion for Creative Suite 4 (CS4), created by Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners. Simple interaction engages a series of animation builds using only playing cards as the visual element. Production time was three months, definitely worth viewing. Hotel 626 is clever online puzzle game presented by Doritos just in time for Halloween. You can only enter Hotel 626 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (though you can change your computer’s clock if you want to cheat the system), and you’re not allowed to exit until you have gone on a harrowing journey through the haunted hotel. If you have a webcam and microphone you can enhance the experience, you can also skip sections if you get stuck. Have fun, but keep in mind this may be too frightening for younger children. Keith Loutit a Sydney, Australia-based photographer created a few very interesting tilt-shifted time-lapse short films. These short film clips give the viewer the impression that these are scenes of small models...very interesting and fun to view. " You can see more of his films on the Keith Loutit Vimeo page. Dave Allen is another creative person who used the tilt-shift lens filter in Photoshop to create a time-lapse video of three days at the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Very clever medium to illustrate the life & death of an endangered species. Ogilvy New York was commissioned by the Environmental Defense Fund to bring attention to their cause and taking it to the streets, creatively done. Giving new meaning to the word Typeface, Jeremy Mayer brings new life back to old typewriters using the parts to build interesting human and animal sculptures. In my opinion definitely worth a look. BTW: I often see old typewriters sell for a buck or 2 at auction...inspired anyone? A house designed to challenge the inhabitants to be healthy in mind and body. For Arakawa, 71, an artist who designed Bioscleave House with his wife, Madeline Gins, the structure, floor and environment are not meant to be comfortable but more of a daily test of balance. Don't forget to sign a waiver before entering. Video & Slideshow There are several online photo editors available, however, FotoFlexer appears to be the most full-featured to date. Try it before logging in, I think you will find it is easy-to-use with many of the expected features you might expect; but I was pleasantly surprised by the "Geek" tab for advanced options in addition to allow saving multiple layers. For the novice users it has an "Add a face" option which I'm sure we can use to brighten someone's day, happy photo editing. |
