PRIME Burger -> thismustbetheplace

PRIME from thismustbetheplace on Vimeo.

This beautifully captured short documentary left me feeling bit home sick for NYC, and also a lot hungry for a good ol’ fashioned burger. Well worth the view.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Prime Burger Restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan. For many of the guys that work here, the restaurant is like a second home – [...]

Simon Harsent -> Iceberg Portraits

Photographer Simon Harsent’s thought provoking ‘Melt’ series of iceberg portraits fascinate me. At first glance they feel powerful and have a sense of permanence, but then those feelings are soon replaced by a darker reality, making them seem dismal and fragile. Aside all of that, they are amazingly captured and processed. Be sure to have [...]

Android -> Digital Standards

It’s not easy for companies to keep track of their brand presentation across all the platforms, screens and devices that exist these days. Especially when you’re in the app space, and you have hundreds of third party app designers and developers out there creating new experiences specifically for your device. How do you keep it [...]

Seattle 2012 -> Snowstorm Photos

I haven’t had a lot of free time to post this week. I’ve been shoveling snow and taking photos of all the wild weather that we’ve been experiencing here in the Pacific NW. I’ve got a bunch of photos that I will be processing and posting over the next few days, and another good night [...]

realtime projection mapping -> Sony PS3

The above images are out-takes from the production of an interactive projection mapping viral for Sony Playstation. The whole story was shot in one take and in one room with an impressive amount of supporting characters in seamless white suits to help assist with the overal effect. Pretty cool concept, pushing the bounds of what [...]

Percival Menswear -> Boutique Design

If you haven’t stopped by the Percival menswear boutique site yet, you should do so. Not only is their menswear collection pretty fresh, I dig the product photography and the super clean design. All together it makes for a nice branded shopping experience. Sophisticated + simple and a bit edgy.

Great gift idea -> Eli, no! by Katie Kirk

If you’re looking for a great gift idea for someone who’s a dog lover and also loves and appreciates beautiful illustration and design, look no further… Eli, No!, illustrated by Katie Kirk from the award winning eighthourday.com is a fantastic option. The book features super upbeat illustration, a clever re-tellable story and one of the [...]

Reveal Project -> Personal Data Mirror

Reveal Project – Personal Data Mirror from NYT R&D on Vimeo.

I’ve seen a few flavors of mirror screen concepts coming from different tech companies in the past few years. Most notable was a Yahoo! powered experience I saw at the 2006 CES (I almost got in trouble for taking that photo)… This version by the [...]

Quiet Camp Vibes -> Poler Camping Stuff

Quiet Camp Vibes from Poler Camping Stuff on Vimeo.

A friend of mine at work turned me on to Poler Outdoor Brand today …very cool and clever collection of outdoor products and clothing. I like the simple honest presentation of the brand. Have a look.

Jawbone -> UP

Jawbone is releasing an exciting and innovative new health tracking device and mobile app. It’s reminiscent of the NIKE/Apple partnership but not attached to an expensive shoe, and not specific to one activity, opening the door to a much larger customer base. You can now toss your old heart rate monitor and pedometer and that [...]

Facebook Timeline -> First impressions

I’ve got to say, things were looking pretty grim for ol’ Facebook when Google+ rolled out. G+ seemed to offer up some pretty nice enhancements to the social networking space with ‘circles’ and being able to follow non-friends, similar to Twitter. For me though, it lacked in the area of visual presentation, other than the [...]

Evolution of the Web -> Interactive Infographic

This is pretty interesting, that is, if you’re like me and many others who are actually slightly moved by reminiscing around the old gui graphics of web browsers past. From Netscape to Chrome, this interactive infographic allows us to rediscover those old browsers that we all criticized, cursed at and at times even celebrated. Yes, we [...]

Elizabeth Gadd -> Flickr Photostream

Vancouver based photographer Elizabeth Gadd has a terrific Flickr photo stream full of great outdoor scenery and other amazing moments. I really like her latest landscapes, full of light and sometimes accented with human figures. Have a look for yourself via the link below.

Painting Reality -> Pieces of Paper

This is a pretty fun and interesting environmental art piece, or public art project by ‘Pedazos de Papel’ (Pieces of Paper), or at least that’s who I was able to track back to for a source from Vimeo. I may be wrong. Regardless, the paint is released onto the pavement by bicycles and the rest of [...]

The Burning House -> Shared Collections

Let’s face it, people love their stuff and they love to document and show off that stuff. This Tumblr blog asks one simple question, “If your house was burning, what would you take with you?”. Nice concept, it will be fun to see what people share as time goes by.
