From Nicolas @ Castro in Argentina comes this awesome digital updating of the blow-in-the-tube-to-make-the-horse/car/boat-move fairground classic.
This time using the microphone and some heavy magnets you get a levitating Nike Air to race against other online or instore opponents.
It's a great level of interaction with, what is, at the end of the day, a shoe. And interesting to see Nike playing with a digital/physical relationship rather than a image-based platonic hero-marketing - but then maybe it's just Argentina.
There's also quite a lot of rather interesting and scrapeable data coming out of the usage patterns and conveniently supplied by TFL...
and a cool Earth visualisation:
Missing TFL Apps I would (probably) pay (a pound) for:
1. Bus Tracker App with live GPS updates from buses.
2. Bus App that let's you use your Oyster card RFID signature to tie 'rate-this-driver' votes to the bus you are sitting on at that time.
3. Tube App. You know, with a journeyplanner and an alternative routes planner and a 'body-on-the-tracks-at-Vauxhall' alert and a 'northern-line-normal-service' alert.

Really nice to see a YouTube takeover that doesn't rely on the "surprise" of breaking the fourth wall of the YouTube player - but actually integrates the product into the story line in a way that is genuinely interactive, and cute, and funny.... Smart smart stuff. Big like.
David is a pioneering form of journalist. He describes himself as a data journalist and this talk is a great introduction to his work and to the emergence of a whole new frontier of journalism - in other words the communication of news to the world.
In David's hands, screaming tabloid headlines, giant unseen data sets and the myth-building nonsense propagated by 24hour rolling news are contextualised and transformed into visual opEds - editorialised but truthful - visual information allows us to instinctively analyse and contrast in a language we all understand.
As the data explosion challenges our ability to communicate huge data sets in a clear, compelling and factual way it seems obvious that this problem is far beyond the limits of language and our limited attention spans. Visualisation is the news medium of the future and I think David is a genius at this new art form. Mainly because he is a journalist first and an artist second.
And Neville Brody can suck eggs.
Singing Fingers lets you fingerpaint with sound. Just touch the screen while you make a sound, and colorful paint appears. Touch the paint to play back the sound again.
