The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons
licensed sounds. Freesound focusses only on sound, not songs. This is
what sets freesound apart from other splendid libraries like ccMixter. You can find collections, geotagged sounds and remix the sounds. Great stuff if you want to build geotagging environments.

Acces the search here, I found also very interesting the exploration by tags!

enkin supports users not only in map, and 3D mode but also in live mode. Basically you can walk around in your environment and take the camera view to look at and see the placemarks embedded. This gives interesting option for seamlessly integration annotation information in the live environment.

See http://www.enkin.net/ also have a look at the enkin blog http://enkinblog.blogspot.com/

so interesting question but what is this about: today I bought a fingerboard ever tried that, my seven year old was keen on it, so what can you do with that thing ??? going online and using cooliris to search for videos on youtube with fingerboard so you find countless videos of 6-18 year olds doing tricks with their fingerboards, they even create lectures about how to do it? create nice quality movies with slow mo and and stuff.

So did I learn to do an ollie? In any case they learned a lot beside doing an ollie

I am reading Scott Berkun’s Book “the myths of innovation” Book. One of the nice citations I like is from John Cage: As a general advice for being creative “It does not matter where you start, as long as you start”. So most innovation develops in a process of making experiences and failure. You can check out Berkun’s presentation on those topics at:

I came across this webpage when browsing some rumors about Apple Tablets in early 2008. There is a really nice design study about a conceptual tablet design here. Furtthermore some intersting ideas of how to apply multitouch to a mouse device is discussed here.

Unter Retro-Futurismus (http://www.retro-futurismus.de/) das Design von Gestern für Heute. Das ist ein schöne website die die Zukunft von Gestern abbildet. Eine schöne Refernz um RFID Tags, Navigationssysteme, verschiedene Visionäre und deren Visionen im witschaftwunder zu reflektieren.

In den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts dachte man über die Zukunft der Welt
optimistischer als heute, wo vielen Menschen dazu als erstes die Wörter “Globalisierung” und “Klimakatastrophe” einfallen.
