“Have you seen this … ?”

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

A couple of people suggested I gather my sporadic bursts of “Have you seen this …” into a regular round up, so here it is. Not all new, but just a collection of things I’ve found interesting recently.

Since I can’t remember where any one came from, a general thanks to all those who send me interesting things, not least this bunch of Twitterati. And if you find it interesting, maybe comment or connect to me on Twitter … make it a conversation.

Picture shop

This is a website for French band’s (free) album. It’s a great site. It credits Pablo Pinasco for the design.

Adobe Pixel Blender examples

This site’s owner (Tom Beddard) says it’s about “explorations into generative and mathematical art”. Dig around, there’s some really lovely work on the site.

Bobblebrook

Lovely little game with 3D flash effect. Take a look at some of their other stuff. Some of the details are lovely, for example in the transitions.

Diller & Scoffidio

Flash-based site of these New York architects.

Eyejot

Easy video messaging via your webcam.

This and the next two (Nabble & Toksta) are services that you can embed on your own site.

Nabble

Online forums (embeddable on your site).

Toksta

Instant messenger, embeddable on your own site. These guys were one of the winners of Seedcamp this year. See their blog post.

New York Times

They supply the tools (or IBM did) to allow you to create visualizations from their data. Great. Reminds me of BBC Backstage, although that’s a bit more challenging.

Alfa Romeo

A very handsome site.

Multicolr Colr Pickr

There are many others like this, but I like this one.

Exactictudes

This is old, but such a gem. It will in an instant destroy any ideas you have about being unique, but make you feel ok about it too.

Nokia

Decide for yourself.

Rubicon

I just stick stuff like this in because designers can’t get enough of it, so if there are any reading they’ll enjoy a moment of inordinate pleasure, which makes the world a better place.

And I like it.

Yammer

Internal Twitter for companies. I know Moving Brands are trying it … what do you think Moving Brands?

Surreal animation

Gadget ball clock

This guy (Adam Bowman) is churning out cute little gadgets, such as you can stick on your iGoogle etc. Check out the comments on his “Fish” gadget. He has many fans.
