A Journey through Asia

rog — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:11:37 +0000

Late this year or early next year i’m going to be travelling on the trans-siberian from Moscow to Beijing and then i’ll be travelling around asia. I just found this beautifully edited video that excites and inspires me. Whilst I can’t guarantee that mine will look as good as this, i’m definitely going to be documenting the journey all the way.

Links for 06/01 – 13/01

Right, its a new year so i’m going to write lots of useful things on here. I promise this time.

So to get the ball rolling here are my links from round the web over the last 7 days.

Christopher Niemanns weather predictions for 2010 courtesy of the New York Times – Niemann doesn’t post all that often but his posts are always of a high quality. I recommend subscribing to the feed.

Some pretty cool hacked billboards, these aren’t done with photoshop, they are actually printed and pasted over the billboard.

Some things that you never think of could be designed with a little more thought to make everyone’s life easier. One of them is boarding passes. I’d like to see something like this used, but judging by this article, there’s probably not much chance of it happening.

This site from the icanhaz network is pure gold. Say no more.

Oh, and by the way. Happy New Year!!

NinosKika at The Poly

I recently finished building a website for a band called NinosKika. They are good friends of mine and recently kicked off their tour at the poly in Falmouth. It was a beautiful, intimate homecoming gig with a great audience. I took a few videos of some of the songs. If you ever get the chance to see this band, you should definitely take it.

Catching Up!

Just had a little catch up on Layer Tennis as I have unfortunately missed both weeks 1 & 2 due to my slightly busy life right now. This post however, isn’t really about that.

As always, I had a little look at the website of either competitor to gather a little bit of information to make the match more enjoyable. It was really nice to see that Jeffrey Kalmikoff had written on his blog his reasoning behind each layer even though he apparently lost. I’ve never seen anyone go through each post in as much detail as this.

Also, I’m not really sure how he lost, in my opinion his layers were far wittier than Brendans.

Maybe it was for slating flash?

Roadsworth: Trailer

A trailer for a documentary about a stencil artist from Canada.

He was facing thousands of dollars in fines but it seems because the people in toronto liked his art, it was accepted. From what i’ve found it looks like its still there today.

Mike blogged about this a while back but I didn’t realize there was a video or a documentary being made.
