Things to click more than once:

The door to the left - starts with Katie Couric..then goes downhill fast each time you open it.
The Scales Of Justice behind her desk.
The right panel of the desk.

The person responsible for this project is Sean Ohlenkamp who owns the domain and is in the credits in the source code of the page. They will updating it until the election.

Plastic Logic Reader

The Editor — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:31:28 +0000

A new, yet to be named, device was introduced publicly today by Plastic Logic. The device is an electronic reader similar to the Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s eReader. The screen is larger than those devices, roughly the size of a letter size piece of paper. Its larger screen would appear to make it ideal for reading newspapers. The device features a wireless connection for downloading content, though it is unclear if this is to be Wi-Fi, 3G, or something else. The device will be black and white although the company plans to introduce a color device by 2010.

Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse

The Editor — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:33:59 +0000

This mouse caught my eye. The V450 Nano mouse is travel sized so it’s great for carrying with you. It comes in your choice of black, red or a metallic gray. Nice grippy rubberized sides. An accurate laser pointer. Most interestingly, it is cordless, but instead of using one of those typical USB dongles that stick out of the port, it uses a dongle that is barely larger than the typical USB male connector. I can’t begin to tell you what a fantastic idea this is. I have seen alot of those large dongles get damaged (and damage laptops) when people forget to remove them before throwing them in a laptop bag. Great job Logitech!

Just saw this credenza over at Design Within Reach. The use of tambour doors is attractive. And, at only $4000, it’s quite a deal.

Ikea ads made with super high-speed cameras

The Editor — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 18:12:20 +0000

These ads are incredible, they open with a Shuan Of The Dead type sequence and then switch to a super slow motion video (shot with high speed cameras). You can use your mouse to change angles within the video.

Ikea website with the ads

Deutsch Inc., handles Ikea’s US account but I’m trying to figure out who made the ads.

Apple Mac Air

When the original Imac’s were introduced they were criticized for not including a floppy drive. I assume Apple believes the future is away from optical media. Unfortunately right now, the Mac Air cannot play DVD’s, and with Apple keeping tight control of Fairplay, you need a PC to watch streaming movies from sites like Amazon Unbox and Netflix Watch It Now.
I will certainly give Apple credit in one area though, their machines are beautiful from all directions. Why do PC laptops have to have stickers all over them?

HD DVD Dead?

The Editor — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 04:00:01 +0000

Interesting article about HD DVD’s decline over at Crave. I’ve always thought Blue Ray was a better name for a next generation format. HD DVD has to many syllables.

With most of the major studios pulling their support, What is the future of HD DVD? DAT survived as a pro recording format even though it didn’t succeed as a consumer format. Could HD DVD survive as a recordable pro/prosumer HD format?
