Now…

Found via @larissameek , Now (http://now.sprint.com/widget/) – an all flash site by sprint – full of TONS of random information stats and graphics! Soooo cool, but makes my browser crawl!

Pick Of The Week

I know I know, $tarbucks is evil, but it just happens to be right by where I work!!! That being said I have somehow beein in the habbit of nabbing the iTunes+$tarbucks Pick of the week song cards. Some of them have been pretty good! So stop by a $tarbucks and grab one (you can do so without buying coffee!)

United States Of Ametrica

While surfing the web last night I came upon the thesis project of Amy Wang. Very interesting project. Makes me want to go to gradschool!

“Ametrica!” is an awareness campaign to help convert the United States to the metric system. No one thinks about an act as routine as measuring, much less the impact it can have on education, economy, and health. Through bold numbers and subtle humor, viewers are initially invited to interact with the pieces and their environment such that they experience metric units directly, rather than through comparison with customary units (which perpetuates the problem of dependency on the old units). Those intrigued by the issue are then directed to visit the Ametrica! website for more information, interactive components, and motion graphics experiences.

Boredom and Ustream.tv

Its friday…im home alone and bored…what better thing to do than broadcast myself…doing nothing? ha… well not nothing. I’m working on a few designy projects. Broadcasting with Ustream was pretty easy…signed up and i clicked broadcast and it worked instantly with my mac’s built in camera. Could be an easy solution for people needing to broadcast video and audio via the net. It even lets you record and instantly upload to youtube. Pretty snappy!

And now…for your enjoyment:

My mandolin solo via arcade fire….and yes… i am wearing a helmet!

Bananas And Coffee

I’ve been tinkering with this site for a while but now its time to officially “Launch it”. Bananas and Coffee is all about data and the different ways it can be displayed (information design). Each month I pick a new web technology to learn: css, jQuery, Google Charts, etc and then implement a visual display of the data. The inspiration for this site was taken from the amazing information design from Good Magazine. So please check it out!

(if you are already following me on twitter you know all about this site so please disreguard this blog post!)
