Don’t Click It
Re-condition your mind and experience a cool, and painfully obvious, interface idea. A good little example to show folks as a demo if you wanna try a more ‘intuitive’ approach…thanks to Leon for the link!

Watchmen Arcade Game
Waiting for the Watchmen movie is making me physically ill…I’ve stopped eating until Ozymandius kills <spoiler deleted> and Dr Manhattan blasts <spoiler deleted> and they find out that <spoiler deleted> killed the Comedian! Until then, I’ve been playing this game wearing my original Watchmen smiley button.

Krezip Music Mixer
Competition to keep the music and the beats right, nice twist on ‘interacting with the band’. Spin that record right round baby! Thanks to Karen P.

Esquire Interactive Cover Gallery
Instant inspiration, all the Esquire covers (from some tasty designer heroes), all in one place. Thanks to NotCot.

Hyrdochromatic Umbrellas
Get wet, still look cool – these umbrellas change colour and design when they get wet – must be an ad in here somewhere….

KERN – The iPhone Game
I’ve been looking for a reason to get an iPhone, this is it. Anyone who knows me has seen my inner type-nazi…for those who have felt the pain of me whining about letterspacing, you can now play a game about it. NICE!!

RadiologyArt
Ever wondered what your TV dinner looks like as a 3D movie….from the inside? Find out with this nifty technique…art buyers, hurry up and use these dudes!

Interactive Ad Environments
Very cool new interaction technique for banners and beyond…look past the shonky demo video and check out the samples on the site.

The future of social networks…maybe
A really good tip from Peter Mangin in our AKL office – cheers Pete!! “In this presentation (link below), Charlene Li (Groundswell) makes the point that in the future, Social Networks will “be like air.” Thanks to universal identity and sign-in, your friends will be wherever you need them… literally their recommendations and thoughts will be at your finger tips. Just as important, this social graph will help marketers provide more relevent information and advertising to consumers when and where they need.” Take a TV break and check it!

Leyio (or…if you don’t already have enough stuff to carry around)
The Leylo is a new gadget to share and carry-around, with a groovy fingerprint scanner to keep everything secure. Bye Bye USB? Me likey…

Social Networks Evolve: Facebook Connect
Thanks again to Peter in the NZ team. Facebook Connect is going to (hopefully) change the way we, er, connect using social networks, mobiles and maybe, everything. A good little video overview from the crew at Razorfish.

TouchGrind iPhone Skating Game
Thanks to Rachid for this tip – very cool iPhone game.
