One cashier, one hidden cam, one printer. Burger King prove that each sandwich is unique, made to order, especially for each customer.
Can’t decide about this one.

Snazzy lifestream interface by Experientia. Like it, but it looks a bit overblown and complex at the moment. Interesting though.
Blurb below:
Experientia designed and prototyped an interactive interface for visualising large quantities of information.
The first phase of the project created a benchmark document that presented a gallery of existing visualisation models and current methods of representing data.
After an initial design phase, involving co-creative workshops and concept generation, Experientia combined all their insights into a sophisticated visualisation prototype, together with a video presentation of the interface features, using software such as Flash and Processing.
“The deliverables are top-notch through and through — thinking, content, findings, approach, design, layout — everything is beautifully executed. I am so impressed. … [Experientia’s] are the best deliverables the Concept Development got in the year I worked there.”
Jenny Dunlop, past manager of the Vodafone Concept Development Group.

It’s so easy to forget about how much personal information we hand over to Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. My mind was sharply focused again today when I read today that MySpace has taken a bold step and allowed a large quantity of bulk user data to be put up for sale.
The truth is that we really have no idea how these companies will use our data for in the future.
Here’s a video which makes Google look a bit scary.
THE BEAST FILE: GOOGLE from Hungry Beast on Vimeo.
How cheap does it make YouTube and the video content look.
1/ Join Free, Flirt Now.
2/ I built a Free website.
The be fair the “flirt ad” is the main offender here, it’s pretty shocking.
At least the Yola ad has some design around the stock photo.
The only bonus is that someone has written a great little spoof “link building” comment underneath.

Feels like an age since I wrote about a nice “MPU” or “expandable”. The online ad world has moved so fast and into so many different areas that it’s nice to see to a piece of work that restores my faith in the art. I love the craft in it.
Showing that Vimeo will let you get a bit creative on their site too here’s a nice “takeover”.
There’s no snazzy interactivity jut sit back, press play, and enjoy the animation/code razzle dazzle.

To experience it properly you need to view it on Vimeo (hmmm. I’ve thought of a new ad format).
Right-click and it’ll help you figure out how they do it.
There’s a couple of little things missing, like a website link in the description underneath. Plus I’m not sure how people are finding it.
I find Vimeo a bit less social than YouTube. That’s not necessarily a bad thing on some occasions. But It’s made its way to me OK (3-times in fact) so I guess they’re doing something right!

Perched on top of an Atlas V rocket, on February 11 the Solar Dynamics Observatory launched into space. About a minute after leaving the Earth, the rocket did two things: it passed the speed of sound, and screamed past a sundog, a rainbow-colored optical effect in the sky caused by ice crystals. And when it did it was incredible.
Open in YouTube. Go full screen. Click the “720″ button.
Pay close attention around the 1min 50sec mark.
Those ripples were caused by the shockwave of the rocket going through the cloud, which quickly dispersed. Since the cloud had ice crystals in it, the sundog got literally blown away.

Vimeo have rolled out a shiny new mobile site – and yes it looks at gorgeous as website. All videos are served in H.264 goodness. I like the little touches, like the fact Vimeo removes the Safari “browser” shell. You’ll have to see what I mean for yourself.
Point your mobile to http://www.vimeo.com/m
The choice of H.264 encoding is significant because it means another prominent site is making video available in a non-Flash format. In a similar vein Vimeo also launched a beta of their new HTML5 player, and Google is now testing an HTML5 version of YouTube.

Stick in your URL. Codeorgan analyses the <body> content. Does some clever stuff. Then plays back a musical interpretation of your content.
Give it a go: http://www.codeorgan.com/
My song sounded a bit weird. Bad content I reckon.

Clavilux 2000 – Interactive instrument for generative music visualization from Jonas Heuer on Vimeo.
The Clavilux 2000 is an interactive instrument for generative music visualization.
The setting of the installation consists of three parts:
- a digital piano with 88 keys and midi output
- a computer running a vvvv patch
- a vertical projection above the keyboard.
For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and speed the way the particular key was stroke.
Colours give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations – and each key has it’s own color scheme and “wrong” notes stand out in contrasting colors.
Would love to see Les Dawson do his piano ‘routine’ on it.
EDIT
For people who have no idea who I’m talking about – here’s the man himself.
