Some things I agree with
(or not as the case may be)

Tuesday, February 28 So, cool stuff? What's been keeping me interested in the web these past few days... Wordcount is a rather clever experiment cataloguing our usage of words in the English language. Words are presented from left-to-right, the more important the word, the further to the left and larger it is in the line. You can scroll sideways or search for a particular word (for example, 'Christopher' comes up as the 3,898th most commonly-used word). In other news, Absolut.com has an exclusive track by Lenny Kravitz available to download, and more music coming (as of Wednesday, the site has a live countdown until the global launch of their ad campaign, with a bit of teaser material and the first track on the web site as of... well, just now). If you like Lenny Kravitz, it's worth a listen. (Hell, it is free at any rate.) Art Lebedev are constantly innovating, with some of their latest concept designs really impressing me both stylistically and in terms of features they manage to squeeze into their elegant concepts without making them look stupid. Case in point: The Determinator. In case you can't figure out what it is, it's a Caller ID display which looks OH! so sexy it's almost ridiculous. So the site's in Russian, I'm sure you'll figure it out. They also have a rather smashing (and clever) gallery of barcode-related wallpapers (I especially like the cunningly-done Abbey Road photoshop). Check em all out at artlebedev.com/posters... All of them are free to download, and all of them come in at least three resolutions. And finally for today, TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) shows us a particularly witty parody of what Microsoft might do if they were branding the iPod packaging... Watch it on their page (what makes it funny is that it's all pretty much how it would be, I'd wager, if MS were actually doing it - right down to the tiny little details - and as it has been oft-said, the truth is stranger than fiction). Hmm, time for some sleep. Night :) Technorati tags: Cool stuff Dragged out of Christopher's memory and pasted into his blog at 2/28/2006 04:35:00 AM. Roughly.
