Just stumbled upon Atmosphir by Minor Studios. Atmosphir is a free downloadable video game. So what right? Well get this, Atmosphir is a platformer where you can create your own video game advventures which you can share online. So what this means is that its a user created game. You can create levels, share it with friends or collaborate with other users to create different levels and games. Now imagine what can happen if we apply this type of thinking to other things… hmm, the possibilities.
Check out Minor Studios’s presentatio on Atmosphir at TechCrunch50.

Found this wonderful photographer working on large scale projects. And when I say large, I mean LARGE! The above photos were taken from a recently completed project in Kiberia, Kenya. 2000 square meters of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera. This new work, by far JR’s most ambitious to date, can be seen from space and will be seen in Google Earth.
Check out more of JR’s work.

Found this interesting organization called Common Cents, the organization that created the Penny Harvest. The Penny Harvest is an ingenious and simple program which gives children the power of philanthropy. The program is simple – gather pennies throughout the year and at the end, donate all of your collected pennies as a cash grant to the orgtanization of your choosing. But how much can a penny really do? Let’s just say that in the 2007/2008 school year, the Penny Harvest students across the country raised an astonishing $799,033.35
Now that’s a lot of pennies!
Check out what Teddy Gross, the founder of the Penny Harvest, has to say.
Its just come to my attention via John Custer that Skittles.com just ripped off Modernista’s concept (and design?) for their corporate site. Wow, talk about being unoriginal and unimaginative.
Oh and here’s the funny part, people are mocking skittles for their blatant rip on Twitter and some of those comments are making it on skittles’s site…. HA HA!
Ain’t no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. Nice try Skittles, but try again!

One free interaction
originally published by Chris Noessel on January 27, 2009
“One free interaction” is a prospective design pattern that gives software and hardware a more humane feel. It exists outside of task flows and the concept of users as task-doers. Instead it sits in the “in between” spaces, suiting users as fidgeters, communicators, and people who play with things.

The above article is from Chris Noessel who has seen a trend in what he calls “free interactivity.” Its basically the digital equivalent of a doodle to pass the time. In essence, its a way of connecting the machine to the user in a an emotionally way.
