Those Japanese! A really neat video of a bunch of turntablists using Nike Free Run+ shoes as instruments. I have no idea how they made it, but I really don’t care, just enjoy it!

Inspired by Pete Cashmore’s column this week on CNN, I started to think about banking and social media, a thought I’ve had several times before but never publicized. One thing is for banks to enter social media with blogs, profiles on Facebook, Twitter, etc, but is it time for them to really enter the social realm and deeply integrate their services with already existing networks like Facebook? I have been waiting for a easy way to pay back my friends after a ski trip, bar round or any other activities that may include shared expenses. Now the usual pattern involves a serious round of gathering receipts, calculating everything in a spreadsheet based on who payed what, who had 3 beers and who had 7, etc. Then you have to email everybody your account number (probably not safe) and the amount they are facing, and they have to log in to their online bank of choice in order to finalize the transaction. It is cumbersome to say the least, there simply has to be a better solution.
The 3D Wizards over at Transparent House has made a really nice 3D Video in celebration of the iPad launch, featuring a few hand selected icons from Apples over 30 year old design history, icons they believe led up to the iPad. Noticeably both the iMac and the iPod is left out, I really think they should’ve included the iPod because it was the first handheld device from Apple that enjoyed a massive success, the Newton on the other hand did not.
