Kicking It Up a Notch with Digital Magazines

This morning I was watching a video about an application for the digital version of Wired magazine for tablet computers. This app is the result of a partnership between Wired and Adobe to make a compelling counterpart to traditional print magazines.

Photos from Sacramento summit

The SEA office flew down to Sacramento before the holidays to meet in person as a group, plan the next year, and have fun together over 4 days.  My shoulder was (and is) out of commission (bike accident) so I missed this years ski trip to Tahoe; it sounded like everyone got along fine without me though.  Going up to Tahoe is sort of a BKWLD tradition at this point, I think this was the 4th or 5th time.   Of all the photos I took, these came out the least blurry, which is pretty sad.  If someone with more skills and a better camera has some shots, please replace mine in this post!

Happy New Year everyone, looking forward to an amazing 2010!

Augmented reality mobile game

Jeff passed this around earlier this month, showing a practical use of augmented reality that was handled very elegantly by AKQA.  This isn’t flash, but shows another huge leap for this emerging technology:

Your mom is on twitter

Seems every Tom, Dick and Harry these days is talking about and hawking their Twitter. I’m trying to figure out when I started Tweeting – searched my email and found a message from Eddie, dated March 11th, 2007 simply saying “http://twitter.com”.

I’m thinking then I’ve been tweeting for over two years, and to say the technology, support and people using it has changed drastically is an understatement, but I’ve been using it the exact same way from day one. Here’s an example of both of these concepts. I used the site http://myfirsttweet.com to find my very first tweet (there’s a friggin’ cottage industry of these kinds of site):

What did we do before Google?

Google has signed a partnership with Gilbarco Veeder-Root gas pumps to help lost drivers find their way. The pumps will feature color screen internet kiosks featuring Google Maps. Drivers will be able to find local landmarks, hotels, restaurants and hospitals, selected by the gas station

Can’t Tell Will Oldham Nothing

The new Kanye West album is getting a lot of air play at the Sacto BKWLD studio. I think it’s appropriate everyone revisit this alternate version of the Can’t Tell Me Nothing video.

The beauty of this video is that the majority of Kanye West aficionados may not be aware that the video’s supporting actor (yes, the creepy bald guy with the mustache) is one of the most respected song writers of the last fifteen years. To those of us who have danced our first dances as man and wife, birthed our children into the world, and paid last respects to friends leaving it to his music, this video is quite surreal.

Here’s some more Will Oldham for your would-be rainy day enjoyment:

Bungie is single again!

Does this mean we’ll be getting mac games again? I doubt it, but I thing this is good news nonetheless.
