Tenori-On

Finally someone's created a Flash Tenori-On. If you've not seen this instument from Yamaha in action before I've posted Little Boots using one before which is well worth a watch if you want to see it used properly. Great fun! Below is my quick but lame attempt but if you want a go visit Nudge.

John Hughes Tribute

The legendary Director / Producer / Screenwrite John Hughes has sadly died. His films are still among my favourites and I dread to think how many times I watched Weird Science or Ferris Bueller. This video features a mash-up of the 'brat pack films' and French band Phoenix and is a fitting tribute to the great man. I have to watch the Breackfast Club now and I'm seeing Phoenix on the 28th October at Brixton Academy.

Augmented Reality Business Card

Ever since I first saw Seb Lee-Delisle create a worm hole in your webcam I've been fasinated by augmented reality. I love the idea of blending analogue printed media and digital on-screen graphics together. Here it's the turn of Jonas Jager's Augmented Businesscard. It's a bit gimmicky sure, but it's a great use mediums.

Robot Cake

I turned 30 yesterday and my lovely girlfriend spoilt me with various robot related treats (and a trip to China! thanks Stace x). Today I did a quick google search for "30th cake" and look who popped up. Guess I'm not the only 30-year-old robot geek with an understanding and talented girlfriend.

Love this illustrations by Fakir - shame his website is on myspace.

Robot Fight Club

Tweenbots

Tweenbots is a social experiment based in New York. This tiny little robot slowly motors forward and relies on human interaction to get it to it's goal... and somehow or other this fragile little guy always seems to make it.

New Shoes

Arrived this morning :)

Sing it back

There's a few Karaoke spots already in Brighton, none of which are particularly any good. So I'm excited by the prospect of a new lucky voice private karaoke bar opening next to the new Jamie Oliver Italian Restaurant in Black Lion Street. A mere stones throw from my office (and the pebbly beach for that matter). It'll apparently span 3 floors and will be open in 8 weeks time. I'll be warming up the ol' vocal chords with Lips in the meantime and I've posted the new Metronomy video to get everyone excited.
