SOFTlab has just completed the website for our good friends Frank Gesualdi and Hayley Eber at EFGH.
The site was conceived as a pulsing array of pixels that contain the projects. After a while, it looks like the site is breathing, almost alive.
Go check it out.
Guess who has a new site? The cool kids at Diller Scofidio + Renfro. It only took them this long to get one, but they did come out in style. Awesome site, using -what looks like- Papervision. It seems like it also went up quietly just recently.

Paris Hilton’s energy plan actually makes more sense than both McCain’s and Obama’s. I’m voting for her. oh wait, I can’t vote…
I recently received -not for the first time of course – this message requesting help. For the first time though, I actually sat down to read and redline it. Poor Miss Sandra does sound like she’s in a lot of distress, so much that she’s writing from Ivory Coast, yet the reply address -which is different from the outgoing mail address- is from India. Maybe she commutes to write emails from India. She must be spending her 5.6 million dollars flying between the two contries to write these emails…
I also appreciate the fact that there is a rose next to her name. That just tilted the balance and prompted me to -almost- help her. Or be sorry for her.
It’s all in the details folks.
The website for Joe MacDonald’s studio Urban A&O was recently launched. The project was led by Mike Szivos at SOFTlab.

The group LAIRE (Live Action Interative Role-playing Explorers) is one of many groups that have been getting together for over a decade (!) at a Girl Scouts camp in NJ for LARPing (Live-Action Role Playing), exploring imaginary worlds, fighting goblins and completing quests.
Makes me wonder if they have the honey why don’t you go hunt for some baby food instead of fighting your friends with imaginary lighting bolts quest.
Hopefully none of my MMORPG playing friends will show up at the studio dressed up as an elf…

I’ve just come to discover Flock a new social web browser which is based on the Firefox technology. It allows you to have all those apps you don’t really want to have so easily accesible at hand: Flickr, Facebook, Picassa, RSS feeds, Del.icio.us, Twitter, etc etc etc. The can all be opened within your browser window and, heres the coolest (for me at least) you can post directly to your own blog through the web interface. It has a bunch other cool features that I’m just starting to check out.
This is the Beta release (it’s been very recently launched) but it still handles very well. This will be my first blog post directly through it so I’ll let you know how that worked out.
Workers at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees have designed a game where the players play the part of a refugee. Among the challenges are escaping a war ridden town, getting asylum in foreign countries and starting a new life in a new place.

It took me only 3 years…
Looking through our SOFTlab visitor statistics (nerdy I know) I stumbled upon FFFFound, an image bookmarking site which allows users to post and share their favorite images. It also recommends images dynamically based on user interests and tastes.
More design and arts based than pictures-with-my-puppies based, looks like it could become an interesting resource for cool images.
