“Have you seen this …?” #2
January 6th, 2009I think the post title says it all …
Thanks to those who sent these to me, I can’t remember you all I’m afraid, but @Armano and @JeffreyJDavis definitely deserve a thank you.
Cool barcodes
Yep … the Japanese are being weird and wonderful again.
Burger Virgins campaign
I hate to say it, but an inspired campaign from Burger King. They took their taste test on the road with planes, helicopters and dog sleds to places where “they don’t have a word for burger”.
Jing
Jing is an amazinly easy way to record your screen and send out the result. Credit to them.
6 month exposure
This is an amazing story of a guy who does does 6 month exposures using pinhole cameras strapped to lampposts
Visual thinking from the Muppet show
This is brilliant.
Coffee on a napkin
One guy’s story of coffee, told in sketches, drawn on napkins with … coffee.
(thanks @Armano for that one)
Identikit
Build a face … and it’s quite compelling.
Klaus Mitteldorf portfolio site
This site starts a little crazy, and carries on a little crazy. It’s great.
Checkland Kindleysides
I think this company site is so gracefully executed.
Tokyo Plastic
The Nokia ad in the left hand red box. I love it. Can’t help thinking of the U-Switch guy.
AKQA Christmas microwaves
AKQA got 49 microwaves to play Jingle bells, then got a million plus people to watch the video. Double genius.
All streets
This is old, but if you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s a map that only shows roads, but somehow captures geography and population as well. By Ben Fry (of Processing).
Motorola 3D city
Somewhat cheesy, but interesting in that it uses video and interactive Flash very well together.
Prezi – a non-linear presentation tool
Tufte would wring the neck of powerpoint if he could, and here’s a presentation tool that tips traditional thinking on its head. It has many lovely features. You might be interested to know that it comes from Kitchen Budapest, which is where good things happen.
That’s it.

I never realised Kermit was such a forward thinker. We can all learn from him.
The mircowave vid is great.
Keep up the good work. I like these summary posts.
