Chatroulette Piano Improv

For those of you who are not well informed in the culture of Chatroulette.. be warned and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

For those of you who are you know that it’s a brand-ish (Nov 2009) new service for one-on-one text-, webcam- and microphone. You can basically chat with randoms and click through to the next person if you aren’t impressed. Normally along the way you come across hairy vigilantes dressed up in ladies underwear or people pressing their knobs against the webcam.

That’s about it really…. oh yes. The site receives about 500,000 visitors per day and there are about 35,000 people on Chatroulette at any given time. Also it was developed by Created by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow.

What’s more… I love the creativity that is coming out of it… a perfect vehicle for comedy I reckon. I love this capture..BRILLIANT!

Times editor James Harding outlines plans for online charging

I’ve had my eye on this for some time. LINK

Being that my design agency Picture, do a lot of e-commerce and being that “we” the general public, have been getting “free” content, online for far too long.

I’m looking forward to seeing the take up on this, I imagine that the Times will start to offer so much more versatile content, film, more rich images, like the Boston Big Picture do etc… I think it will be a multi-platform offering (my speciality). Offering what the Economist does, BBC, CNN and ABC do.. Essentially the Times could become a broadcaster. Ohh to think….

It’s always simple and obvious when you see it. I love the low-fi aspect of this.

YouTube opening up its API

Lawrence Garwood — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:25:35 +0000

Being that I am working on a job for YouTube at the moment, it seems appropriate to post this. They have the most amazing statistics on usage.. for example if they were a country.. their population would put them 3rd on the map. China, India, YouTube… the United States follows. Now apparently they are more sociable.
Link.
YouTube has been getting more social lately, using activity feeds to make it easier to find cool videos and channels that your YouTube friends are favoriting, rating, subscribing to, etc. But what if all your friends aren’t on YouTube, but rather on social network / site XYZ?

Guardian and Observer stings

I recently just art directed a comissioned for the Guardian and the Observer to produce a range of “artistic and a slightly abstract” stings to be projected at the entrance of the new and very swanky Guardian offices. They are projected onto 10 very large and tiled flat display screens. Click on the images to play the stings
