While walking on 34th street today, I spotted a shiny new Tesla Roadster electric sportscar, with the license plate “OHM RUN”…. Cool!

Looking At Digital Agency’s Websites on Mobile
–
You’d think that any self respecting digital agency nowadays would have not only a decent website, but also a decent website that embodies all the ideals of their industry. Unfortunately, this is not always the case – but certain new elements are catching on. Specifically, more and more companies are producing mobile-optimized websites to compliment…

Wario Land destroys YouTube!
–
Although it looks like just a normal YouTube video page, this new Wario Land Experience Wii ad on YouTube is a whole page takeover. I usually hate whole page takeovers and persistent overlay’s, but this Wario Land ad is one of the cooler ones I’ve seen. After checking it out for the first time, be…

Shooting the Highline Design Book Release Party

Last week I took photos and volunteered at the Friends of the Highline Design Book Release Party. The party was actually underneath the Highline, and featured a great band, food and drinks. The new book, “Designing the Highline” showcases the Highlines’s design from Gansevoort to 30th street. I haven’t been up on that section of…

Visual Magnetic Fields – Magnetic Movie

Coolest video/cg I’ve seen this week. With a combination of science and 3d Animation, Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory made this nifty movie which brings to life complex magnetic fields.

Optimus Maximus Lives!
–
Great new Engadget video of Art Lebedev’s Optimus Maximus OLED Keyboard… It looks great, even though it’s still using beta software and firmware. I was going to say that I’d like to see this kind of keyboard on laptops (my Macbook Pro, for example).. but now I think that the self-lit OLED displays on each key would be a huge drain on…

Design Situation – Apt in Box & Bungies Shelves
–
Apartment in a Box A whole (small) apartment’s worth of furniture – crammed into a box transportable by two people. Sounds perfect for NYC. The box includes desk, bookshelves, chairs, even a full sized bed, all packed in there. I think the designers, Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser from Casulo have definitely one-upped and destroyed…

Designing a blog: What’s it take?
–
The Jeffzilla blog is new. Yes, I’ve had this domain for a number of years, and yes, its been used for other projects, etc (and it still is), but this is the first real time there’s been a blog on it. Designing and implementing a new blog can either be quick and simple, or a…
