I kind of forgot this lovely bit like 2 years ago here inside the womb of
beersandideas.com - and I don’t care. The only reason I post it now is that I want to
watch it one more time and I have no clou where I found it.
So the headline in this case is quiet telling.

I’m increasingsly amazed what new inventions and creativity 2.0-ism shoves our way. We all knoe Remixes and Mashups, but they also mature over time and here comes one that has so many connotations, implications and interactions, you actually need to be “old enough” to get them all. Enjoy the snipplet of things to come in the near future:

The golden age of video

I was in the beautiful city of London the other week. My friend introduced me to the best cash machine of all time… you could select the language as ‘English’ or ‘Cockney’. Brilliant, so easy to bring a bit of charm back into banking.

Well, long time nothing happenin’ here? Seems we’re all in the economic-downturn-struggle-cha cha cha. So here’s a linkdump with all good ideas and thingies. Since I don’t have any time to format them or shit, you’ll have to check them blindsighted. But no worries, they’re all good or awesome!

My sister sent me this last week, and i forgot to post it. It’s an awesome gig, with a variety of well-known bands - but you can’t buy tickets, you have to earn them. You have to do 4 hours of community service (cleaning off grafitti, planting plants(!), halping old ladies etc) and in return you get a gig ticket. What a great idea, improving lives for everybody.

A collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.

This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale.

For all of you, who haven’t figured it out after 150 blog posts: I’m greek! And we invented everything. Starting with the Olympics. Plus anal intercourse, bad breath and overexposed, unjustified self-esteem. Then suddenly a Jamaican boy turns up and tries to tell me how to run a 100 meter dash? I don’t stink so! 9,69 seconds in your face, USAIN!

Here’s a simulator for all that want to race that pretty boy on the track, but don’t have the time or money to fly over to the Caribbean.

This is my Fotofinish-Screenshot proof that a greek stud can beat anyone. No matter how many meters size-difference lie between us:

BTW: I achieved a new world record with 9,67 seconds!

Picture below shows “The view of Oklahoma from 104,000 ft (20 miles straight up). Photo taken with a Pentax k10d DSLR attached to a sounding balloon launched by Oklahoma State University. The camera was exposed to near-vacuum pressure, and temperatures below -60F.” Take a look at their flickr page HERE for the whole story and bow in awe. It’s just another proof for the power of geek-ism. And if your client demands another cheap video to spread via Youtube (or not), slap him in the face. It’s all about storytelling.

Thanks to the flawless folks at Werbeblogger.
