The new Web TV

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Jesse Newland walks us through how to use the new Democracy Player (OSX only) to subscribe to any show that has an RSS feed. The player looks promising, like an RSS reader for video content.

Flash meets standards

Friday, February 24th, 2006

These guys took the idea of SiFR and extended it to an XHTML page that gets parts of it parsed into a flash movie. So the page is valid, it has good SEO, but the content happens in Flash. I don’t love the Pontiac site they made with it, but the idea is interesting.

Freestyle Walking

This dude is one bouncy mo-fo. Like what Nike did for their “Presto” ads, but on speed.

Google Pages

Friday, February 24th, 2006

A new WISIWYG webpage-making tool. All your base are belong to Google anyway, so we might as well all just write our GooglePages here.

Natzke’s work

Friday, February 24th, 2006

I recently found Eric Natzke’s 2004 reel, as well as a showcase of HP work, largely done by him. Ridiculous talent.

Wayfarer

Wayfarer - it’s like Google maps, without the egregious HBO marketing!

Airtight mini-apps

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Airtight has developed a clever flash app that uses Yahoo’s Image Search API, called Simple Image Search. Go have a look, but don’t say I didn’t warn you the search is not “safe” (try searching “rock” or “stone”).
Another nice piece from Airtight is the free PostcardViewer. Similar to SimpleViewer.
