Imagine yourself sitting at the bus stop, missing buses and busy creating digital graffiti with your mobile phone. It’s a working citylight by Mark Ecko. via engadget

Now I Feel
A self expression website which you can logon to create an artwork expressing your current mood. Put it for a vonting session and win prizes. Cool huh. But I’m pretty surprised with the stable backend of the program. Neat.

Ai Interactive Media
One of the pretty advanced flash site from the east I’ve came across. What’s good and amazed me is the amount of details are put into the transitions and 3d environment, it’s a wholesome dynamism.I wonder if I’ll have the chance to stumble across them in Taiwan. Yes, they’re from there. or only one person?

Envy New Media
Coming from Taiwan as well, Envy New Media is an interactive agency which works on various interactive websites that are highly refined and motion graphics as well. But I guess they’re worth to be checked out. Especially I feel in love with their Shu-Uemura official company profile.

Designer Slash Model
Are you beautiful? Design can change the world? Definitely. Upload your headshot to their gallery.

Highest Escalator In The World
I wonder what will happen if there’s power outage while being in the middle of the escalator? What can you do with old magazines. Some illusion perhaps? Ever thought to search for your information, in a weird way?

How to become an authority blogger
Upon browsing randomly, I came across an article on how we might able to practice one of few tips inside this article. Interesting read on how people react to a people presenting/blogging in the front row.

Tafiti
If anyone could ever remember Microsoft came up with a solution to fight against Flash, Silverlight is the name. But I guess none of us has really seen the program itself in action, but upon browsing Webware, a really interesting site that keeps track of the latest web application news, comes Tafiti which powered by Live search and Silverlight. Will it live up to the expectation? According to the site, it has pretty nifty interface for you to fiddle around.

There are only 12 Types of Ads in the world
Interesting insight from Donald Gunn which determined that there will always be a pre-defined style in a TV ads. Worth read for inspiration. Thanks Oswald.

Twitter : Bravia
If there is any web application that would boiling the hot soup now, I guess I would nominate Twitter in the line. You may always let your friend to keep track of your presense with the web application, and this time around, the Sony Bravia ad team utilize this application to its benefit of creating publicity and promotion for the ads itself. Being rather successful for its previous two commercial “colour” and “paint”, I wonder what will turn up this time around. Putting that aside, I would like to emphasize that there might be a big “Boom!” from the public of Twitter’s usage soon. Right now, even from webware itself, I saw MTV has even endorsed it for MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS itself as well! Whoa, I smell of aquisition.

Bumblebee in…paper
That is really some die hard fan will do if I tell you that it’s made of KFC boxes? via engadget

The Super Chick Sisters
To talk about KFC, this is one has a hell of a refined graphics inside the whole game. Though not being entirely original, it sure does try its best in conveying the horror of the story.

Condomnism
Though this might be something different. It does suggests something about recycling.

Uni
This is certainly a cool concept from Richard Choi where we would always had frustation on upgrading our computer parts by tearing up the casing apart and risking destroying other parts in the process. This one plugs new one in as time goes. via engadget

Conceptual Yoga Mat
Conceptualized by designer Hui-Zong Chen, I guess it’s rather a good try to see if the idea would work but personally it does contradict probably on what is yoga normally does to the user? Isn’t the person are into meditation where they would want more peace than distractions? Perhaps I still couldn’t imagine a person watching a 2-hour Transformers videos while doing Yoga. Hm. via engadget

Singapore’s Floating Tower
Still a concept, but it will be fascinating to create it.

DHTML Demos Gallery
And if you’re looking for some cool stuff to fiddle around, here is one site to look at, Dynamic HTML. Which uses Javascript to move text on screen around, in a cool way. No it’s not Flash. Thanks tuckloong.

Blanka - 50 Years of Helvetica
A pure coincidence or just beauty just bound to happen at the same time? To some of our beloved Helvetica typeface are celebrating its 50th birthday this year. Did I mention that our country’s independence is 50th this year as well? Beautiful posters for sale.
