Trans Benchmark

For my term project - interactive screen for bus stops... benchmarks...

1. Front Row
2. Media Centre 2005
3. ATM Machines - I tried for a demo online, but i guess for security reasons they dont. First I thot of filming me withdrawing cash but at a second thought that might not sound a good idea - security reasons.
4. Blackberry
5. Pros n Cons of touchscreen
6. Guide

Benchmark

Yar har!

Hmmmm... benchmarks...

How about Penny Arcade and MacHall as examples of decently put together web-comics. Kiwis By Beat, Giant in the Playground, Thrilled and Dayfree Press as examples of sites that combine multiple titles. Also, Neostream for the just plain coolness.

Oh, I guess my current site should also be a benchmark, seeing as my job's really not done unless I get a better result this time.

PS. Looking For Group is another well-put-together comic, and their front page setup is rather interesting. Also, Leo Burnett is another website for the "cool" pile.

PPS.-Leo

benchmarks: a catalyst of desire

the fact is i could go for a very long time listing
benchmarks that i believe are pretty strong. In
some cases it is not the site itself, it is what is
inside the site that must be considered. What
do you see that holds value.

you may have seen some of these benchmarks
already, however there are quite a few are you
may have not seen which are prety ingenious.

enjoy.

Zune commercial vs iPod

Craig Ferguson takes twice on Microsoft

oh boy oh boy... poor Bill Gates. Should we feel bad for him. hahaha! Seems like the world is after him. Craig Ferguson takes on Bill two times.

First against Microsoft's Zune MP3 Player
"Microsoft, Wake up and smell defeat"

Second, against Microsoft's planned Zune Phone.
"iPhone spanks Microsoft"

And Letterman too takes on Bill with his Tribute.
(this is old but still one of the best).

Cute... to the EXTREME!

I wonder, perhaps, if you've seen this? It's another little thing for the PS3. It looks pretty impressive, though let's be clear about this, not quite "$700+game" impressive.

DAMMIT! Double post.

Sorry

What do you mean it's a period?

Howdy...

Here's me postcard...

There's an issue with the narration on this. I've tried to figure it out but it doesn't like me. I can provide a transcript (as I have on the CD I've handing in) if required.

Anyway, cheers.

What do you guys think?

A combination of the Nintendo Miis, 2nd Life, The Sims..~

Update

Ok, here's the final of my postcard. I can't figure out how to upload to the student space yet, but I'll try for tomorrow, and I'll update this post with the new URL at that point.

-Leo

EDIT: So, here it is. On the student server space. Enjoy.

Hahaha!

I'm sure this is old news by now, but I just saw the first Mac vs. PC ad that both makes Macs look good, AND is firmly anchored in reality. Weird, I know, but check it out.

Gentlemen ... BEHOLD!

I've got a preliminary version of my Postcard done and uploaded to my own server space. For next week, I need to make some minor tweaks and put it up on the OCAD server.

Here's the link to the current edition.

Enjoy.

-Leo

PS, the title of this post is not meant to be sexist. It is a reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which features opening scenes with a mad scientist named Dr. Weird. Each such scene depicts him shouting "Gentlemen ... BEHOLD!" before revealing his latest invention or evil plan.

New Multi Touch Technology

I am sure many of you saw the clip of multi touch computer demonstrated by Jeff Han before, and this is a new video. Simply amazing.

Chair

This is the greatest chair in the universe, and interactive to boot.

I want one, and I'm pretty sure I'll never get it.
