This is enough for me to make the switch to AT&T for an iPhone.  I’ve been holding out waiting for the next generation (with hopefully more RAM!) but I don’t think I can do it any longer.  Between this and Google Earth for iPhone there is too much fun going on for me not to be playing along.  I know both apps may be buggy but I don’t care - when you can pilot the globe and sample/underscore your immediate surroundings in the palm of your hand I want in.

From the official site:

RjDj is a music application for the iPhone. It uses sensory input to generate and control the music you are listening to.

RjDj is mainly listened to with headphones. Think of it as the next generation of walkman or mp3 player. The listening experience of RjDj is similar to the effects of drugs. Drugs affect our sensory perception, so does RjDj. RjDj is a digital drug which causes mind twisting hearing sensation.

Frankly, it is badass.  I need it.  Neeeeeeeeeed it.

Quite possibly the most beautiful game trailer I’ve seen in a while.  It’s a maze game set in an entirely white (or black) world that you discover and navigate with a paintball gun that shoots black (or white) paint.  The official site is here but down at the moment.

This video, part of my ongoing ‘music videos i love more than a little’ series, is a great example of mid-1980s rotoscoping at its most norwegian. the norse band a-ha deserves some credit for coming correct with this video that utilized the previously untapped talent* of director steve barron (who also directed Coneheads and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie). in addition to being weird and awesome at the same time, the video was also parodied by ‘family guy’ in an episode called “breaking out is hard to do”. so there you have it. please to enjoy.

*i’m not sure if i’m being facetious when i say that or not.

For those of you who haven’t heard, hustler in a rapid production coup has already released Nailin’ Palin. It’s got cameos with Conde and Hillary as well. Great xmas gift for those of you who are shopping early.

today AdFreak started a new feature where they interview some of the most interesting commercial actors. god love them. apparently this actor is also doing “evening length dance pieces” whateverthefuck that is, i think i’m going to pass.  This spot was shot by Smuggler’s Randy Krallman - a twisted bastard who’s work i’ve always enjoyed.

Sarah Palin is seen wearing a scarf emblazoned with donkeys at a rally in Nevada on Tuesday. The donkey has become the established political symbol for the Democratic Party.

Well yesterday we had our first fire drill at Seed!!

NYPD's Bravest arrive on the scene.

We were scared to head back into the office so we headed next door to the cutting room.
