linkbizkit vol. V

As I said, I had a bit of a crazy week, and another one is lining itself up for me. So I will leave the links as such this time. No words just little phrases. Sorry about that, I know it’s boring. So instead of holding on to them and wait until I find the times to share thoughts, facts and fiction, I am just clicking publish this time, without the normal bla bla.

Be the cause
Interesting ad to attract talent. TAKISADA NAGOYA - Textile Specialists are using the web to attract new talent. Yet another great use of video. The loading time is somewhat of a turn-off, but still, I like.

If expando - then EXPAND it
Stunning banner campaign to promote rum. Especially the Curtain and Phone banners are must sees.

PicTaps
A completely useless site as such. But I could not resist in creating my own private dancer. Can you?

Portfolio of Desmond Arsan
Nice use of Flash’s new visual filters. Setting aside the ‘pretty’ work of this designer.

Javier Ferrer Vidal
Another portfolio. A photographer this one…I think. The only thing that is somewhat disappointing is the way that the images open up once clicked. But that might just be the spoiled brat in me…

backward engineering?
Very funny stunt I found, essentially moving the first-person shooter craze back out of the screen. It’s a crazy world out there…

Two videos that I found amusing:
No need to actually to see them. You can just listen to the talk, while working, which are interesting as such. Much like Loose Change. Conspiracies, always fun, are they not?

The Occult World Of Commerce
Jordan Maxwell and Jason Whitney How commercial law applies to the U.S. people.

The Naked Truth
Exposing the Deceptions About the Origins of Modern Religions’.

waiting for a new linkbizkit

it is in the works. Just taking a bit longer this time. Lot’s of things have been going on, so I need just a few more days before it is ready for publication. Rest assured though, you are not the only one to wait…

Stephen Wiltshire: Memorize Rome

the human brain, it is capable of some amazing things. Especially when it is focused on one thing.

Check out Stephen Wiltshire’s website

linkbizkit vol. IV

It is that time again, and there is a few links that are worthy to share. Sites are becoming more and more rich in the multimedia experience. And, even if some like to ignore it, the 30-second spot is dying, a slow, and unnoticed death, something that I am really really happy about. The only thing that scares me is that there is many in our business that still are in a state of denial, but even they will wake up and smell the bandwidth very soon

Georgia Pacific Time Machine
The use of video is getting more and more common on Flash sites. It is essentially becoming the cornerstone of any flash site that is trying to push boundaries. This site sells green building materials. And it sells it in a rather convincing manner. I have to admit though that some of the scaling seems somewhat off. Especially the in bathroom. That counter looks huge with the two characters next to it, doesn’t it? But still it’s well worth a visit….

an agency formally known as Diesel
Diesel is dead, long live sid lee. The Montreal based agency just changed it’s name. Honestly I am somewhat amused by the change they chose. Essentially they did not go far enough. I do understand that they had to change, their unfortunate similarity with a heavy pollutant as well as the Italian clothing giant always baffled me, but choosing the name of a convicted Sex offender is not exactly what I had in mind when thinking of a name change for those guys. Mais bon, le choix est faite. So I whish them the best of luck. And I am sure that they will be winning many more awards, even with this new name…

Sort your life out
Not exactly up there with their previous realizations (like come into the closet or the 2 kitchen sites) but they still are stilll staying true to themselves, slick animations presenting some good photography’s.
so this new micro-site is still well worth a visit.

Explore Ibsen
In celebration of the centenial of Henrik Ibsen, his works are being re-published, and displayed where never seen before. This site gives us a whole new experience of this (the second most published playwright after Shakespeare) productive creative mind.

Thanks for this video poutch

Honorable mention: Own your C
I would assume most of you already know this one, but I never really spent enough time here. An educational site to prevent kids from smoking…

facelift

Well it was time. I have been experimenting with new plugins, new sidebars and other wordpress-goodies. So what better time to update the theme of this site that is my blog. So enjoy!
There are still some hickups to the new theme, but it ain’t nothin I can’t fix during the weekend…

I got meebooed
Well after spending some time on digging through Jocelyn’s Ajax suggestions, my winner is meebo is the winner. Meebo essentially allows you to access all of the major instant messaging services through one slick interface. This comes in handy especially when (like myself) you are working at a place where instant messaging software ports have been blocked by your friendly sys-admin. Meebo is, by the way, also included in the wonderful online app. Netvibes. I have added the meebo widget to the blog as well for now. This is more tentatively though, cause I have to admit that the lack of visual customization is somewhat disappointing. So I will leave it on for a bit, see if I get used to it. If not, it’ll have to go again…
