cnn & multi-touch
Wow. So I’m watching CNN’s Election 2008 coverage tonight on Anderson Cooper 360 and out of no-where, Anderson Cooper and Jeffrey Toobin walk up to one of the signature super-large CNN displays with a detailed graphic of the Democratic candidates and begin moving little blue icons all over the screen with their fingers. Totally slick (eat that Fox!). Amazingly, CNN has licensed Jeff Han’s Multi-touch technology for their new interactive displays that are being debuted throughout the network’s political coverage of the caucuses and primaries. It’s nice to see the technology being used in a real-world scenario that will have millions of eyeballs watching the magic happen. It gives me hope for being able to buy a Multi-touch Mac in the near future . . .
alberto forero flickr collection
illustrator, designer, and musician Alberto Forero has an unbelievable collection of historical art, photography, and design imagery on his flickr page. the russian poster set is my fav. below are a few of my favorite images from that set (amazing what people could do before Photoshop!) thanks to jason kottke for the link.
radiohead IN RAINBOWS 01.01.08
radiohead have launched a new site for today’s in-store debut of their album IN RAINBOWS. you can also purchase the discbox here which has a ton of great stuff along with the album.
http://radiohead.tbdrecords.com/
watch the band’s film created for NYE 2007 promoting the album (more videos for the album can be found on the band’s YouTube page).
The Kingdom title sequence
Totally killer 4 minute title sequence for The Kingdom produced by motion design shop PIC in LA. Impressive graphics and animation with a nice political touch. I heard the movie was mediocre (especially since it derives itself from 2005’s Syriana which was fantastic, eye-opening, and original) but I haven’t seen it so I can only vouch for this opener.
