Mac FAIL Group on Flickr
I created a group earlier this AM for the ultimate in life imitating art for Mac users… its called Mac FAIL and is an homage to all you mac users who have crazy things happen to your screen whilst working… This arty color strewn screen capture inspired me to do something about it!
My flickr photo group was link checked by my good friends at Wired Blogs
QR Code Laser Engraving on iPhone
I was at the 2008 Web2.0 Expo last week in San Francisco and stopped by the Instructables.com booth where they had a Laser Engraving Machine setup and were doing engravings for FREE for conference attendees. You could get either your laptop, iPod or iPhone (or any other device for that matter) engraved, as long as your provided them with vector art or high enough resolution bitmap art.
I provided them with a PNG file of a QR Code I generated (via Kaywa QR-Code Generator) with my entire email signature file, postal address, with links to my blog and twitter pages as well. It was a very large QR Code to say the least, in real world use it would not work on many handsets as it is too complicated. But, as a digital graffiti piece on my iPhone it was just fine.
Note: This article and QR engraving was mentioned recently on the Kaywa Blog as well… and I have since met a guy on Flickr who also engraved some QR codes on his iPhone as well!

MoMode Globe Clock Flashlite Screensaver
I found this Flashlite screensaver and site MoMode by mistake while searching for some top notch design and animation examples for a mobile research project I was working on. Turns out the person who runs this shop is one guy and his brother and they have a couple of other equally cool designs for Flashlite screensavers. The MoMode screensaver runs on any mobile phone device that supports Flashlite. I installed it on my Nokia N80 handset (running Symbian series60 rev3 OS) but it works on the Nokia N95, N73, etc…

This is a very cool DIY kit to make a speaker out of the plastic container your Apple iPod Nano or Shuffle comes in. Its available from a Japan based iPod accessory shop called B-Shop.

Edushi: Pixelart Map of Hong Kong
This is easily the most dope pixel art based illustration thing you can scroll and zoom with EVER…
Think eBoy meets Google Maps meets Snap Shots and your scratching the surface… The graphic detail reminds me of the guy that does all those books on The Colosseum, Castles, Pyramids, etc… including reflections in the glass, driving directions from each building, and meta data like the name of the building on hover… oh lordy a mapping graphics to interaction designers wet dream…
Apple Spotlight… Motherfucker!
Searching for an MP3 track on my HD and saw the ‘Definition’ option in Spotlight… so I clicked it… and this is what I saw… Almost fell out of my chair laughing… I must say this is a very cool addition and very useful feature… I wonder what other curse words I can find definitions for?
BSOD on Leopard? ROFL!
This is the view of a PC on the network via the Leopard Finder. Its HI-larious that the PCs on the network are shown with a clunky old display with a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) visibile to boot! Pretty sneaky one Apple, but I like it!
Thanks to Luke for posting his screencap!
