Interesting presentation on our willingness to share and the concept of collaborative consumption.
Wired founder Kevin Kelly has written a new book What Technology Wants, which funnily enough on my reading list. I am still in two minds whether Kelly sounds like a burnt out hippy with neurons fried by too many psychotropic substances, or an academic trying to make sense of technological development.
Sometimes you come across a design touch that gives a real idea of the people who made the product and makes the product even more valuable in your estimation. I never owned a Nokia 5110 because at the time I rocked Ericsson in the late 1990s; but occasionally I used one of the office pool [...]
Nice humourous video for Cîroc vodka by Sean Combs. He is smart enough to use his own persona as a foil. Kudos to Lulu Chang posting at WWYMD By the time is published I should be landing in Hong Kong and will then cross the border to Shenzhen. Looking to catch up with interesting people [...]
Back in 80s and the early 90s there was a time when logos were transformed and parodied. Desktop publishing tools and Photoshop opened up whole new areas of creativity and empowered satirists everywhere. Stüssy did the linked back-to-back double-S logo as a riff on the iconic Chanel logo, market stalls had ‘adinuff’ t-shirts, Coca-Cola was [...]
I think that this was shot at an art exhibition on Shenzhen, it also explains where the Silver Surfer came from ^_^

I have had a number of people ask me questions about Delicious and what the hell has been going on at Yahoo! following my post Why I am sunsetting Yahoo! which was linked to by The Guardian website on their Technology Blog. I could spend forever doing this over coffee with people so here is [...]

Service is going to be a bit slow for the next few days, I have a tripped out post going up later today and a bumper post dropping tomorrow which should keep you all going for a bit. All the best for Christmas and the new year.
Donald Tsang is the chief executive and president of the executive council of the Hong Kong government. If Hong Kong were a separate country to the People’s Republic of China he would be a head of state. He has released this Christmas greetings video in association with MC Jin; an American-born Chinese rap artist who [...]
Awesome spot by 7Up that is currently doing the rounds in China. It was watched online over three million times in just three days. It’s a very different take on the 12 Monkeys idea of time travel.
