How awesome is this?! The guys that do the Sigur Ros concerts in Iceland built a bunch of audio stuff including a 20 foot speaker tower in the middle of Seydisfjordur in Iceland. Each morning the director (Juan Cabral – yeah that guy what made the Cadbury Gorilla thang) would choose tracks to wake people [...]

Here’s a little spreadsheet I made to explore the match-ups for next year’s World Cup. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlIPOY40CH-ddEtjNnVNWDNRVG1fRUtMWnJVQ2RZd2c&hl=en I reckon Spain can do it through their strength up front, but their defense is pretty shoddy.

I really think these kind of augmented experience applications have a lot of potential. It embraces the tactile nature of kids books, and layers on a dynamism and extensibility never before available. (Especially given that a certain little 5 year old friend of mine can get around my iPhone better than I can!)

I can pretty much operate my whole working life inside a browser window now, so this whole OS concept makes a lot of sense to me. Be nice to imagine an OS that worked the same on Macs & PCs too.
