DLD +1 Tabdump
I’m back from Munich, ex-DLD, putting this final edit of Laura W’s test shoot online, deep in cunning plans, and preparing to cook the notable gourmand and fine food writer Graham Holliday dinner on Friday. This is obviously asking for trouble. I thusly offer you the finest of linkage this week, which in the spirit of my brand-dropping co-conferencee Tyler BrulĂ©, are mostly culled from my new Gmund notebook. The new moleskines, I tell you.
All of DLD is on video here, which is awesome watching. Although, I’m not alone in thinking Martha Stewart was really bad, but, hey, at least it was funny. But perhaps not as funny as the no-show of Naomi Campbell, who was meant to be interviewing the President of Rwanda - no, I have no idea why either - and instead decided to lock herself in her hotel room and have a strop. At least this is according to one of the organisers, who proclaimed that “she iz scweeemink und scweeemink” and that they were going on without her.
Much better was Richard Dawkins and Craig Venter getting totally badass (and teaching Dawkins some new stuff) on the Monday morning. The one I’m waiting for - it’s not online yet - was Bjarne Ingels of the Bjarke Ingels Group architecture firm of Copenhagen. Utterly great.
Also lovely, at least by the underlining in my notebook, Neri Oxman, Patrik Schumacher, Greg Lynn coffee cups for Alessi, You Are Not Here. Battlefield Heroes, 19,20,21, Nine Million, and RMB City, by Cao Fei - China Tracy in Second Life - with whom I’ll be working later this year, as part of my ongoing projects at the Serpentine Gallery.
Not speaking, but mentioned in passing, www.addmagic.de puts adverts dynamically into the scenery of online video. Zero Punctuation - the best online video games reviews ever made, PP Live - a Chinese Joost, only 2 years and 20 million people earlier, and LiquidMac. Not to forget ZooZoom’s Blue Angel and John Maeda’s Laws of Simplicity.
Most inspiring? Taryn Simon’s photography.
This week’s tabdump
Continuing the great tradition of emptying my browser bookmarks onto my weblog, this spiffy new design gets its first load of linky goodness today.
Icon magazine asked 50 of the most influential designers, architects, and thinkers for their Manifesto - here they are. Flash-based magazines are the new black as Magwerk shows. For those of you more audio-based, Ira Glass is interviewed here. For video people, the wondrous Adam Curtis explains what has gone wrong with TV journalism. Overuse of the online teleprompter, perhaps.
Disassociation from pain? Runners know all about it. Here’s a lovely typeface, a really interesting data visualisation for your site tool, and a great guide to podcasting gear. Meanwhile, Richard Sambrook is obviously stalking me.
Moderating large IRC channels with a bot that only allows you to say things that haven’t been typed in the channel before - a very clever technique indeed.
