Radiohead’s House of Cards. The song is already a work of art but I have to say this is one of the few instances that the video made it better for me.
Makes me want to learn how to use Processing so I can create things like this as well. That might take me a few years though!
—-edit—-
No Processing used. I should read articles more thoroughly. ):
A friend of mine pointed this gem out to me and it seems to be floating around everywhere. I love it.

Wanderlust
Damn. I finally got my hands on some (Hannah Montana) 3D glasses to watch Bjork’s Wanderlust video. AMAZING!
Now I need to put Yonis’ projector to use and play this baby on the living room wall.

Designers & CMYK
Just because you’re a designer it doesn’t mean you have to use straight up CMYK on everything. It’s not imaginitive. It might just be taking the easy way out.
The only time I use straight CMYK in my designs is when I’m being lazy. LAZY.
Break out your swatches and get creative.
Five Mistakes Band & Label Sites Make | 43 Folders
I found this on the Sleevelessness blog and I’m so happy. Finally, someone that has written down what I’ve been thinking for so long. (This article is actually a few years old but it’s the first time I’ve stumbled upon it. I think.)
Your flash isn’t going to trick me into thinking you’re a great artist/band/what have you. In fact, it’s probably going to make me click away from your site without bothering to look at anything.
No, I don’t have a slow connection. No, I’m not afflicted with ADD. I just don’t have the patience for unnecessary smoke and mirrors. All I want is your content. Content keeps people coming back. Flash makes people think twice about trying to go to your page more than once.
UPL8.tv
UPL8 TV is an ingenious way to waste time when you should be doing something more important (like I should be right now) than watching odd yet hilarious youtube videos. Just slap your spacebar to change channels.
Created by the people at POKE NY. Now that’s one agency I wouldn’t mind working with at all. Their projects are fantastic.
Found on Vi-R-Us.
Interactive ‘House Of Cards’ Screensaver
Just downloaded this screensaver. It includes music and it’s also interactive! Pretty cool if you ask me.

Made with Processing, “an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.”
Yonis and I always talk about doing things with it but we never get around to it.
One day. One day.
Esquire's September issue, which celebrates their 75th year, is going to have an electronic cover.
E Ink, whose technology is used in Amazon.com’s e-book device, the Kindle, is responsible for producing the cover. Of the 720,000 issues Esquire has in circulation, 100,000 of them will feature this electronic cover. It comes with it’s own battery pack and is expected to run out of juice in 90 days.I almost peed my pants when I saw this headline. We need a copy of this, even if the cover will die in 90 days. This is very exciting to me as a designer. The possibilities are endless!
