Chatroulette: creepiest site of the year

It randomly connects you to a stranger to have a webcam chat. Very invasive/cool.

Sad-activated Ice Cream Dispenser




Dr Whippy the robot listens to your voice and depending on how unhappy you sound, gives you the right amount of ice cream to cheer you up. And judging by the demo video. It looks like it works!

Fox to run live Twitter feed over re-runs


Pretty smart. A more annoying version of Pop-up video on VHI.

The Tweets of Tweens


There's been lots of different info out there about whether kids tweet or not and why. Here's some more of it. Except this info is based off of 10,000 of these little bastards.

Lance Armstrong and Nike unite to launch STAGES, a global art exhibition to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer.

The best thing I have ever seen




Holy F-bomb this is incredible.
These guys dance to any sounds you create or the music that you let the website make.
If you turn the microphone feature on you can play whatever music you want and they'll dance to it.
This gave me chills. So awesome.

Think this guy does come cool stuff

Dinosaurs!



"Japan just can't help but to tempt fate. First they produced the Godzilla movies. Now they're voluntarily bringing dinosaurs back from the dead.

As part of a 260-specimen dinosaur exhibit in Chiba, Japan, visitors will be able to see moving, life-sized dinosaurs right on the museum floor.

Running from July through September, the "Dinosaurs over time!" exhibit uses Canon video scopes to offer a "site-wide view" of 3D CG dinosaurs. Useful for both enhancing the museum-going experience and scaring children away from learning, the result is a "mixed reality" experience (also known as augmented reality) in which the analog and digital worlds combine to begin man's inevitable fall into the purely digital realm.

Sounds fun, but when Japan is crushed by a giant reptilian beast before the country uploads its collective consciousness into the Matrix, I'm gonna be the first to say I told you so."

Not a Crowdsourced Music Video



My girlfriend showed me this on Saturday because she is one of the people in it and it blew my mind.
Apparently it took the guy three full months to create.
Incredible.

Addendum: PSFK has this up on their site as a Crowdsourced video but it's actually a well choreographed piece where the guy sat with every one of these people and timed out their parts.

Augmented Reality on iPhone, minus Black & White icon

Video gets good around 1/2 way through. Nothing astoundingly new; just thought it was one of the only ARs I've seen that didn't require a basic, high-contrast icon to activate.

XBOX Natal Project




XBOX looks like they're feeling a little nervous about Wii and took it one step forward with controller-free gaming.
And family, fun, and heart-warming nausea are playing a big role apparently.

The Unfinished Swan

The Unfinished Swan "is a first-person painting game set in an entirely white world. Players can splatter paint to help them find their way through an unusual garden."

The Unfinished Swan - Tech Demo 9/2008 from Ian Dallas on Vimeo.

first twitter based game?

Spymaster is a social game based on Twitter, a social messaging service. Each player becomes a master of a spy ring based upon their Twitter followers list. The more people that follow you and are playing characters in Spymaster, the more powerful your network will be. As a spymaster, you can perform tasks or attack other spymasters on Twitter. With each successful attempt, you will gain virtual currency and points that allow you to grow even stronger.

Hey parents, you're pretty old so here's the deets





Do you suspect that your ill-spoken waif of a daughter is a little harlet?

Well, fear not, you tubby geezer, Fox is here to rescue your archaic brain from the daft pit of ignorance that involves using real words to suggest exploits.

Your child is out there slooting around like a bicycle and you need to decode her teen-talk and bust those digi-brothels that have made her the talk of the tween internets.

Here is your decoder. Use it wisely. With great power comes great surprise and heart stopping visuals of your child in positions you never dreamed of.

McBess is awesome!

Tweenbots!




Really cool project by Kacie Kinzer where automated robots with their destination written on them are set loose in the city, relying only on pedestrians to point them in the right direction.

Check out the site

Car painted invisible


Pretty cool art project, painting a car to blend into the background.
Then used as an ad by the company that donated the car.

Greenaid Reusable bag packaging


Pretty cool packaging for a canvas bag.
Probably unnecessary, but still cool.
