ON A MOUNTAIN TOP

Under the headline ‘The Future of Social Media is Here’, Alex Fuller presents us with his latest project in his personal website. Together with Noah Bernsohn, he developed a new social network which denies the popularity contest-driven character he finds in most social media platforms.

But just in time for midsummer solstice, you can finally find a spanking brand new redesign of their cyberspace presence, featuring an extensive online archive of previously published [...]

DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY

While reading about Web visuals I came across this article from designer and critic Max Bruinsma, for Eye magazine, about The 1st International Browserday, a design student competition which took place in 1998, in Amsterdam, based on the concept of reinventing Netscape’s browser, from its roots to visuals.

iPad

Some say it’s nonsense, some say it’s years too late. Others say it will be way ahead of the pack of tablets. Make yourself a key-note here. And imagine those long flights with even more films to really watch, doing real mailing whilst up and away or imagine just wanting to have it without needing [...]

Listen Up

Since our new calendar for 2010 isn’t really suited to make daily plans, why don’t you check out TeuxDeux and get a bit more organized? It even features a “someday bucket” (as in “finally do an interview with Vincent Gallo, one that’s just as incredibly awesome as the one Sir David Michael conducted for the [...]
