World touristiness / Interesting remote places map

Based on information from people uploading travel photos to Panoramio, these maps show exactly what you would expect. Even better than being an image, they have the whole google map mash up thing going on, which is pretty great! How else could you get an idea to travel to the Tibesti mountains?

Interactive Diesel Collection

Interesting idea, an interactive video you can pause and examine the clothing the models are wearing. The price is of course omitted. Looks like this was inspired by the Bande à part dance.

Augmented-Reality Floor Tiling

ar floor

Researchers at McGill University in Montreal, Canada have developed floor tiles that can simulate the look, sound and feel of snow, grass or pebbles underfoot. Such a tool could perhaps be used for augmented reality applications, tele-presence, training, rehabilitation or even as virtual foot controllers.

What is American Power

http://www.whatisamericanpower.com/

This site askes everyone to look harder at their daily relationship to energy. We created it to help heighten awareness of the toll that energy production and consumption take on our economy, security, health, and natural resources. When we understand more about the realities of American power, we can make wiser choices about energy through conservation and civic action.

Great new website from Pentagram partners that attempts to show a portrait of communities living in the shadow of power plants. There are a few power plants near my house, but they are on a much smaller scale (and more disguised!) than the ones depicted here. The photography is excellent, and the idea for the website is good too. It tries to connect photos through a physical place through the use of a map. I lose my mental map of the images location when scrolling through them all, but they are compelling enough to give the location a backseat.

CS5 an Evolution of the Designers Toolbox

CS5 an Evolution of the Designers Toolbox

Amazingly well done walk through of the design process behind those Adobe icons we’ve come to know and love so much. Some of the new features of CS5 look pretty amazing, don’t know if I can afford the upgrade at this point tho…
