LastHistory – interactive visualization your Last.fm history, obviously

Takes a while to initalise the first time, but once the data is in there it’s loads of fun to play with. It’s also got a really nice ‘personal mode’ that hooks up to iPhoto to display pics taken at the time you listened to the music.

Brilliant little short film where “a boy uses his imagination to connect with a girl on a NYC subway”.

Brutal.

What if YouTube closed down for the night?

A hat-tip to the “good old days” of late night tv.

Back when the BBC used to close down for the evening – and handed over to Ceefax.

Spot on.

Digging in the Crates from WE AIN’T PLASTIC on Vimeo.

Digging in the Crates is an interactive installation by designer / developer Roland Loesslein which attempts to explore Sampling as a production technology of modern music using modified turntables and information graphics to understand the relationships between the sample and composition.

Created using Flash Actionscript3/Adobe Air as part of his diploma thesis in the Department of Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg.

Really nice work. And I get to post photos of 1210’s. Double Win.

Nice bit of geekery here. I’ll try and leave Chatroulette alone now. I’m in danger of boring myself. 😉
