Re-thinking

A wonderful example of a redesign (and more importantly, a re-thinking) of something that is so familiar that we long ago stopped questioning the efficacy of its design. I'm so glad there are people who can find creativity within something as prosaic as a traffic light. We should all surround ourselves with people like that.

Another great flash mob prank from Improv Everywhere.

Grand Central Frozen

You've undoubtedly heard of flash mobs. Here's a very cool version in New York's Grand Central Station organized by Improv Everywhere.

Hotel California - Cuban style

Possibly the most amazing rendition of the classic from The Eagles. Hit the play button and close your eyes. Then read the comments.

Newsmap

If you're like me, you probably wish that you could scan all the news headlines in a single visual glance and then decide what interests you. Most traditional news sites seem to have designed their online editions to map to their printed versions. Although this may insure a sense of familiarity, it's a model that bears exploration. A few years ago I fell in love with Google News, and that's been my home page since. Newsmap presents an interesting twist to the way we might consume news. Give it a shot.

Sidewalk art

Most of you have probably seen Julian Beever's artwork on the net. Truly amazing. Something I'd love to see in person someday.

Best use of a Segway

The Mariners get my vote for best use (and implementation) of a Segway transport.
