Diese fantastischen und noch dazu handgemachten Jules Verne Buchcover hab ich vorhin bei Laughingsquid entdeckt. Hier noch ein Zitat der Site:
“For his senior thesis project at the University of the Arts, illustrator Jim Tierney created a series of beautiful new cover designs for four classic Jules Verne novels: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, and From the Earth to the Moon. Interactive without being gimmicky, each jacket features a unique construction, while still clearly remaining part of a cohesive whole.”
Unglaublich kluges Tool um Türschlösser zu öffnen. Man wickelt eine spezielle Alufolie darum und steckt es in ein Schlüsselloch. Wenn man es nun hin und her bewegt, “baut” es den passenden Schlüssel direkt im Schloss nach… Er benutzt übrigens ein Deutsches Schloss in dem Video…
Here’s an clever promotion gag: the folks at Digg (and several other sites) have put an ASCII promotion for Dante’s Inferno in their source code.
Lest you think that Jay Adelson & co. simply take hellbeast-shaped programming notes, the bottom of the ASCII block directs you to the Dante’s Inferno promotional site http://www.hellisnigh.com, with the password “excommunicate.” Alas, you need five more passwords to access the site’s innermost circle.
Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay.
Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself.
Writer Andrew Sargus Klein offers some additional context for the sculpture in this excellent post at SpliceToday, in which he references both Baudrillard and Hirst, and explores contemporary concepts of ownership and worth:
“A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” is tangibly linked, via Ethernet, to the intangible world of taste, aesthetics and worth. It doesn’t matter if the work becomes astronomically valuable—you’re legally required to keep putting it up on eBay once a week until someone else buys it. The argument is you can’t own anything conceptual, neither in copyright or theoretical terms, and the artwork’s logistics ensure that no third party—the highly ridiculous art market—can change that.
A Flower Chain ist ein wunderschönes entspannendes iPhone Spiel. Ich versuche es mal zu erklären:
Man setzt per tap eine Blume auf den Screen, welche andere über das Display schwebende Blumen durch eine Kettenreaktion zum Blühen bringen soll…
Schön endlich mal ein wirklich gemütliches Spiel zu haben, das trotz dem angenehm leichten Spielprinzip und der schönen Klaviermusik in den höheren Level richtig spannend wird…
Es kostet nur 1,59€ und ist auch als kostenlose Testversion erhältlich (und auch in seiner Originalsprache, vorsicht!)
Versucht meinen Highscore zu toppen, und hinterlasst mir dann bitte einen Comment hier im Artikel!
DIe ersten 3 Plätze gehen soweit an unseren lieblings IndieDj Torben, an meine Freundin, und an mich…
Wenn sich wer von euch in die oberen Reihen der Rangliste aufschwingt, aktualisiere ich das Bild auch ;)
We’ve finally found ourselves a solid, confirmed shot of a micro SIM in the wild, thanks to an FCC filing from Lok8u — the company that just inked a deal with T-Mobile — that shows the innards of its GPS watch torn asunder. Over on the right there is one of the micro SIMs in question, and as you can clearly make out, the contact pad is identical to the one you’d find on a traditional SIM (that shot of an AT&T unit that we’d posted earlier was actually a mockup by our own Sean Cooper, you see). In other words, if you were really hard up to get that iPad up and running on a network that isn’t providing micros, you could probably shoehorn a traditional SIM in there with a little elbow grease and handiwork, which happily matches up with information we’ve been hearing from several contacts of ours. Who knew Lok8u would be so important in this investigative process?
Mit dem Tool Sikuli kann man alle Programme die einen GUI (Grafische Oberfläche) besitzen in allen wichtigen Betriebssystemen ganz leicht automatisieren.Man dokumentiert einfach alle Schritte der zu automatisierenden Aufgabe mit Screenshots, den Rest übernimmt das Programm Sikuli.Es ist eine MIT Entwicklung, deswegen frei zum Download, und für Win, Mac und Linux erhältlich… Den Rest erklärt das Video oder folgender Text in Englisch: btw, DOWNLOAD: SIKULI
via Lifehacker:
Windows/Mac/Linux: Ever wanted to write a script for some repetitive task, but don’t know how to code? Sikuli makes it possible for pretty much anyone to automate tasks, by telling it what to do with just some screenshots and simple commands. If it has a GUI, you can probably use it with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open source scripting app that uses a combination of very simple commands like click, type, and wait, and screenshots to tell Sikuli what to manipulate. There’s no internal API support, it just searches the screen for the image in the screenshot—meaning you can use it with pretty much anything. Seriously, the world is your oyster. If any of that sounds at all confusing, watch the video—and if you think it’s just too good to be true, try it out. They have tons of tutorials and examples of useful scripts in their documentation, as well, to get your imagination rolling. Although you’ve probably already thought of at least one thing you want to use this for. Sikuli is a free download for all platforms
