A Site in a Widget

Friday, January 23rd, 2009 jimisaacs

The full site is here.
Apart from the great motion graphics, animation, and sound. The site is a bit overkill, but aren’t all movie sites?

This isn’t my point…
The real purpose of this post is to show you what they did with the widget. They re-purposed everything from content assets to design assets for a miniature version of the site to fit anywhere.

Well thought out? That’s still a question.
Intuitive interface? Maybe not.
Overall… well done.

Plane in Hudson

So only moments ago, a plane crash landed into the Hudson River. Thankfully, it wasn’t a firey ball of explosive jet fuel that we normally associate with plane crashes- however I’m sure the freezing cold water is not exactly like landing on a big fluffy pillow! And alas, the power of the internet- and twitter prevails. Just minutes after news broke, this picture/article has been circulating amongst New Yorkers.

A friend sent me a link to this video and it was so cool i figured best to pass it along.  The text below I pulled from Gizmodo.

Italian artist BLU is famous for painting politically and socially charged street murals, but his recent project involving street animation may be his most visually stunning. Called MUTO, the video is a series of digital stills assembled from sequential paintings on the streets/walls of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s been floating around a bit, but if you haven’t seen it, the effect is a sort of living, evolving mural that follows a dramatic, character-drive storyline. And if you watch one thing online today (or tomorrow or the next day), this should be it:

Sun’s Fishworks wanted to see what happens to hard drives with they are vibrated.  So in proper frustrated tech fashion they yelled at it.  SPOILER ALERT:: The computer did not go faster.

For those who are into nifty benchmark graphs check out the link to Sun’s blog for a screenshot of the proof.
