klamauk – or hullabaloo, in a good way
April 6, 2009
check out the music label klamauk (which basically means hullabaloo) from mainz, germany. founded by tilman schwarz, michael fluhr and karsten brommenschenkel in august 2008. the label focuses on techno and house (or as they’d describe it: microfunk) releases.
not only do i actually like the music but the guys running the show came up with a cool web device. because the first vinyl release was a black and white print with individual hand coloration from each artist the guys from klamauk wanted to keep the individual element to their releases alive even for mp3 cover art. the website was realized by euro rscg 4d in duesseldorf, germany.
design your cover at klamauk.net/digital and listen to their music at juno or itunes.
g4tv.com commercials – old but funny

design a hoodie
March 25, 2009
hoodieremix.com is a fun and extremely smart marketing webpage done by the fashion label champion (actually nightagency did it but …). they basically created a website that allows you to design one or several hoodies you can enter into a hoodie contest. having that said you can only enter if you register and all of sudden they have your personal data and thousands of hoodie designs they don’t need to pay some fashion designer for.
and as the page itself states, there are 157277 hoodie designs so far. not bad guys. it’s a good page though and actually fun to throw a few patterns on the hoodie.
a photo a day
March 25, 2009
the fwa created a webpage called fwaphoto.com where they highlight one amazing photo (in some cases it seems like a very subjective decision to say the least but some are really good and fun) a day.
not only can you watch them on your laptop but also download a free iphone application via itunes. and that’s nice, because it does help to get through some bowring meetings. or just take a minute off, look for the right shot and dream away for a few.

the brick testament – lego bible, online
March 17, 2009
i don’t really know what to say but this is so insane that you have to take a look at it. reverend brendan powell smith goes nuts with lego to illustrate stories from the bible. he builds the sets, shoots them, created a website and published a book with over 300 stories. this is wild, take a look.
imagine one phone number – for life. google voice
March 13, 2009
this sounds to good to be true and work well. “In one of Google’s rather low-key acquisitions, they purchased a phone start-up called GrandCentral (founded in 2006) for about $50 million in cash mid 2007, GrandCentral offered a seriously valuable product; “one phone number for all your phones, for life“. Can you imagine how many contacts you loose changing jobs, switching carriers, houses, apartments, states? Well Google Voice is the answer, you’ll get a single phone number for life, that rings or texts any phone you own, with a single voicemail box… and best if all, it’s free!
So why would you use it? Simple, you’ll only ever give out one number, administer it online, and send calls or texts to different devices depending on who or when people are trying to contact you! Ok, ok, there are problems too, like how do I get my contacts to use the new number and throw out the old? Well, I’m sure there will be one of Googles famous FAQ’s for that!
But if it’s free, what’s in it for Google? Well if it takes off, they will effectively control millions of phone numbers, that (with the right strategy) could be monetised a multitude of ways! So get ready, go check out the Google Voice website here. Thanks to TechCrunch for posting a great article.” seen on digitalbuzzblog.com

huh, you think salvador never died
March 11, 2009
here is a digital artist called eric sin but some of his work looks like salvador dali was using his computer and moved his mouse for him. other stuff looks like joshua davis was over for a coffee and some stuff is i guess pretty cool and genuine.
then all of a sudden it makes sense to me. the guy is 19 years old. shit, that puts it into perspective. first of all he is still finding himself, second of all it’s amazing what those kids can do nowadays. over are the atari days!
have to point again to depthcore.com for some really good digital work. don’t miss looking into it.

be a photographer
March 10, 2009
check out this fun online piece where you slip into the role and view of a fashion photographer. you can shoot both a man and a woman and put the best shots into a virtual magazine, sending that off to friends pretending you are a hero.
downside is, the email that gets send off highlights mostly the JAG webspecial and it is actually hard see the link to your magazine. anyways, still a fun piece and the site works well.
