From The Cool Hunter, Etienne de Crecy performs live in London with a stage setup like none I’ve seen before. It left something to be desired in terms of feeling connected with the music and some of the camera work is annoying BUT the concept is phenomenal:

A Small Bit of Funny

Sometimes you see something so simplistic and funny it makes your whole day seem better. Snagged from XKCD:

HBO Intro: Behind the Scenes

nebuchaknezzy — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:16:36 +0000

What strikes me as incredible about this video is the drastic simplicity graphics developers and designers have these days in comparison to a scant 20 years ago. This intro, all of a little over a minute long, was in production for months with dozens of people working on it. Nowadays, an intro like this could be created in a couple weeks by one person.

My respect for pre-digital designers is only growing the more I see how creative and hard-working they had to be to do things that seem cliché and obsolete now. Kudos.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Noticed this on Scott Hansen’s blog over at ISO50. Had heard Anderson was working on something new but never heard details. I am very intrigued:

Vortex Cannon

Awesome video of a “vortex cannon”. I don’t want to even try explaining the physics behind this because it’s a bit grey for me too, but this is pretty amazing:

Latté Art

I realize this isn’t fantastic, but considering I’m using a fully automatic machine and had to quickly sneak the pictures before handing off to the customer, I don’t feel too bad.
