Even if you’re not a gamer, you should take a look at this. When I looked at this the first time I was wondering how they (AKQA) did this, and now I found out that it’s actually a real diorama they created for it, it’s even more impressive.
If you are into gaming then take a look at these HD videos as well.

You didn’t expect me not to talk about this one right? Enjoy the ad and given the start of a new weekend, I would say enjoy a Stella as well. Or another one of the gazillion different Belgian beers ;)
Sadly enough, the world just lost one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) beer expert this week. Read more about Michael Jackson (not that one) at the Beer Hunter or on Wikipedia.

This is kind of funny. Most of the time we’ll see references on how realistic games can be. Remember these screenshots of racing cars where it’s very tough to say which is actually in game footage and which isn’t.
In this case, it’s the other way around. Today I noticed this image on a blog called Asfaltkonijn (don’t ask me to translate that). West of Antwerp (linkeroever) there is an abandoned school with a (crashed?) jetfighter on the playground. In itself this is already a pretty weird thing and if you want to see what that looks like, check it out on this map.
Yesterday these guys went to check it out and Tupid made some amazing images in colour and black&white of this jet, and looking at these you can only confirm that it might just have been a scene in some type of shooter game, but I can assure you it’s very real. Really cool pics Tupid, subscribed!

The title of this post references as both the art itself as the blog I first read about this. Andy Nulman’s Pow!Right between the eyes talked about this beatutiful piece ‘peggy’ created by Matt Bilfield. It’s a modern interpretation of ‘m-maybe’, a painting by Roy Lichtenstein. Very nice.

Pimp your Netvibes! The newest customization features for Netvibes include some new themes as well, one theme being designed by Veerle Pieter, a very cool Belgian designer.
“Named after its author’s name, Veerle Pieters, this theme shows nice rounded modules and elegant new tabs. Veerle did an amazing job by pushing the limits of netvibes skinnability. The result is an exclusive theme showing her talent and style.”
If you’re in design, there’s big chance you’ve seen some of Veerle’s work already. If that’s not the case, sign up to the feed of her blog as there’s some amazing stuff on there. Let’s hope we can have her to create one of the Live.com collections as well ;)

Last week in Vegas, Steve Clayton was so kind to give me a signed Blue Monster lithograph and called me out to show that to the world. Other lucky ones were Mike Hall and Jeff Sandquist. Yesterday Steve sold another on Ebay for charity at $300, but I’ll hang on to mine. Now just find the right frame for it.
Thanks Steve for the lithograph, and thanks Hugh for drawing it in the first place ;) I hope you enjoyed Redmond by the way. And now let’s change the world…

The problem with being in tech marketing… according to Hugh MacLeod. You got to love this man and his cartoons. Good stuff Hugh.

I know that this online campaign dates already from November last year, but I’ve seem to have missed it back then for whatever reason. I still think it’s worth to mention it here though, since I might not be alone and this is definitely a ‘must see’ online campaign. Click to see the video on this ‘blog’ ;) Great idea & great execution! If you haven’t seen it before, make sure you check it out. I won’t say more about it, because that would spoil it.

First things first, this really is a great book. I’m not done with it yet, so my review will be for sometime soon. This is more about a curiosity, as the book reminded me of a classic Stones album.
Was it the ‘stickiness factor’ of both products? Well, it wasn’t actually. ‘Made to Stick’ reminded me of ‘Sticky Fingers’ because of the 3D effect on both. You probably have to be thirtysomething (or older) to know this so as a reminder for the others, the ‘Sticky Fingers’ vinyl album actually had a real zipper on the front (designed by Warhol). The duct tape on ‘Made to Stick’ is not real (nor is the cover designed by Warhol) but the effect is definitely there.
It’s just a curiosity as I told before, most important, both the album & the book are rocking! Seems like Boing Boing likes the cover of the book as well by the way.
