Minority Report

subtielman — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:03:51 +0000

While the entire world is waiting for the iPad and other touchscreen computers to change our computing experience, some people have already moved on, further into the future. You’ve all seen or know the scenes from Minority Report in which computers are entirely controled by gestures. Pranav Mistry already presented us with a technology resembling it, and now Oblong Industries is going to make it happen for real with their G-speak technology. Multiple screens, 3d and all controlled by your gestures. Check out the future in the movie below.

Exit Through The Giftshop: Documentary by Banksy

subtielman — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:21:04 +0000

Banksy is hitting the movie scene with his new documentary Exit Through The Gisftshop. The movie was added at the last minute to the main program of the Berlinale, and tells the story of the talentless street artist and Banksy groupie Thierry Guetta. After meeting Banksy, who forces him to make a documentary of the footage Guetta shot over eight years. After Banksy re-edits the dramatic results Guetta shoots to fame, starts calling himself Mr. Brainwash and becomes a phenomenon. Check out the trailer below.

Question is whether Mr. Brainwash is real or is Banksy moving into acting too? Mr. Brainwash didn’t help much when interviewed for The Wallstreet Journal…

A piece of inspiration todayt in the shape of this powerful message by Gabrielle Bouliane. Again it seems to be written for me at this stage in my life (and maybe you too). Especially when you know this was her last public performance before she died this January, you realize that this is a precious piece of advice. Listen and memorize:

Square

subtielman — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 08:36:23 +0000

Turning your iPhone (or other mobile device) into a credit card terminal. Some things are so incredibly simple, but so incredibly smart. Square, which I posted about earlier, is a beautiful example of marketing how it should be; finding an untapped market and making an easily accessible product to serve it. Now the idea has moved on from concept to the real deal, as the movie below explains:

I am sure the technology behind it is incredibly complex, but it seems to be such an easy product to use. Looking forward to getting my hands on one these and test it.

Lemonade

subtielman — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:29:40 +0000

Pretty funny how things sometimes seem to pop up right when they apply to your personal situation. Lemonade is one of those things.

The movie evolves around what people who were once paid to be creative for a living do when they’re laid off? They get creative with their own lives. Lemonade is an inspirational film about 16 advertising professionals who lost their jobs and found their calling, encouraging people to listen to that little voice inside their head that asks, “What if?” Check out the trailer below.

Check it out and get inspired. So will I!

As you all know I am convinced of the social media revolution, and that it will be an important influence in our near future. Currently a lot of discussion is rising on the topic whether or not social media is a fad, a hype, a bubble waiting to burst. Just check the movie below, and let me know what you think.

What do you think?

Today I learned that you mustn’t throw away your old, re-useable calendars.Why? It turns out that you can use the same calendar every 28 years… Everything is recyclable nowadays! Just so you know.

Euro RSCG Milan has turned this fact into a campaign for Italian environmental organization Legambiente.

Turbine Power Lights Highways

subtielman — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:55:43 +0000

I love great design, and when our world a better place it’s even better. These turbine powered lightposts do both. These could light our highways in the near future by using the wind generated by the cars rushing by. Is this smart or what?
