Walk Across America

Bendik Heiberg — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:48:20 +0000

By now you’ve probably seen the pretty awesome video of a guy that appears to be walking across America, if not I’ve embedded the video here for your convenience and viewing pleasure.

According to Thought Gadgets the whole film is sponsored by Levis and is one of their latest virals. In my mind the video showing off how they get the whole thing done is more interesting then the video itself, embedded after the jump.

Fantastic Timelapse of Eyjafjallajökull.

Just saw this beautiful time lapse of Eyjafjallajökull (yes, I copied/pasted the name) by Sean Stiegemeier. Everytime I see a well done timelapse they strike me as far more powerful than “regular video”.

iPad Unboxing in 5 Seconds.

My iPad unboxing in 5 seconds, complete with ridiculous sounds. “Why” you might ask yourself? “Why not” is my answer. There is plenty of other unboxing-clips on youtube, but none of them is like mine! And I had some spare time…

Nike Free Run Turntablists.

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!

Anatomy of Apple Design in 3D.

Bendik Heiberg — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:45:37 +0000

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.

Spotify Music Video, can you see it?

Bendik Heiberg — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:35:08 +0000

Over at the Spotify blog there is news about a first for Spotify, music videos in the player. However, there seems to be some confusion around what this really is, and I quote:

You can view the video within Spotify Free as a pop-up on the homepage or if you are a premium user here on the blog.

So, if I understand this correctly, I as a Premium user cannot see the music video in the player, I have to watch it on the blog, whereas all the free users can watch it in their player. Ok, I think it is fair to say the music video is a normal, good ol’ fashion ad then, and in my mind it is really nothing to boast on their blog as being “the first ever, full length music video on Spotify”. If you browse through the comments you can see it has created quite some confusion and disturbance amongst the Spotify users as well.

So I can watch a full length music video on their blog? As one of the commenters said, we got Youtube for that. As much as I love Spotify, this was a rather strange move, could we call it a fail?

Can you see the music video in your player?

Augmented-Reality Map demoed by Blaise Aguera y Arcas.

This is a really awesome TED Talk and demonstration of Bing Maps and the possibilities with photo and video, even in real time. I’ll let the video speak for itself, it’s definitely worth watching.
