This technology basically works like a massive iPhone screen. I look forward to a time, hopefully in the near future, when I can do my work on a big screen like this. Imagine using Illustrator or Photoshop at these dimensions! Jeff Han is the scientist who has developed this inexpensive way t... read more

WikipediaVision is an (almost) real-time visualization of Wikipedia edits and what part of the world they come from. It's kind of useless, but compelling viewing for all that. read more

Yet another age old problem being tackled by digital media: the naming of little 'uns. A simple concept executed flawlessly, a great interface which just cries out to be used. I just love watching the nodes drift around the screen, although i'm not currently on the look out for baby names so i... read more

So TfL launch a bunch of useful looking travel tools, some of which are intended for downloading to use on mobile phones. The icons look suspiciously like iPhone buttons, but I can't see iPhone in the list of compliant phones. Shame on you TfL. See the list: www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/m... read more

A fun way to search for reference images by their colour content. It selects from over 10 million images on Flickr according to the colours you select from a handy little palette. Then of course you can link directly to any picture you see. It doesn't give you any rights to use the images you ... read more

The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of mobile phones, for Nokia's N96. Lots of linking seamless video - feels akin to the interface of film DVD with menus moving you from scene to scene. Its well done and edited to move with you as you explore the phones features. Nice change - but lacks con... read more

These days I'm inundated with emails from photographers and their agents. I think some 'designer mailing list' has been circulated to every agent in town, because every designer I know has also recently been swamped in photospam. In amongst all of that, my attention was drawn towards this bold... read more

In line with the previous 'kebab' post, another spiralling 'reader' (is this a trend?) the Spectra visual newsreader from msnbc. More colourful and more interactive, and more futuristic - imagine this on TV. Choose a channel from the spectrum above and chose and collect the news items that intere... read more
