Be ready for the next stage of interactive video. The Nike Jordan brand launches Chris Paul’s newest shoe, the CP3.V with this live action street court. Chris’s pace and game skills turn the situation into chaos and you can circle the action in a near 180-degree arc. Check out the site, it’s quite awesome.

Oh Expletive is a project of epic epicness. It is a series of illustrations about ass kicking and mayhem — from zombies to unicorns to knife fights to flame throwers — the series consists of some of the most awesome things life has to offer. Made me laugh

Chaotic Moon Labs’ “Board of Awesomeness” is intended as a technology teaser to show how perceptive computing can turn around the way we look at user experiences. The project utilizes a Microsoft Kinect device, Samsung Windows 8 tablet, a motorized longboard, and some standard and custom hardware to create a longboard that watches the user to determine what to do rather than have the operator use a wired or wireless controller.

It seems like Google has been pumping out a tonne of new ads recently… and this one, launched just a few days ago at CES 2012, again honours their famous analogue story telling style. The ad takes the form of the classic labyrinth game that you might have on your iPhone, but is re-imagined as a massive, physical, handcrafted version of Google Maps. Love it!

Some of you have probably seen this piece of work over the last week, it’s a campaign by the Israeli Anti-Drug Authority which has created the world’s first Facebook Timeline campaign. One of the better use of social media plaform. Love it.

My new year resolution is to spend less time on Facebook – and I’m not the only one. To make sure it’s not the road to hell I installed Chrome Nanny. If you find yourself killing a little too much time on sites like Reddit, it can help you keep focused by partially limiting or outright blocking distracting sites. The add-on is not brand new but it can help you out in the new year.

Polaboys are enlarged Polaroids to a scale of 10:1 (to 88x107cm) and backlit. They are 20 mm thick and use energy-saving LED area lights. The frame is wooden and they are made in Germany. Also good to know: The photographs can be changed at any time and you can even send your custom image. This is going to be the next thing for my new home.
