A Flickr photo to end the week! Super Balls released down a hill in San Francisco. Makes me feel like a kid again. Have a good weekend.
Echo Chamber Project
Posted by Andy Rush on 29 Jul 2005 | Tagged as: News & Commentary
Here’s something in which I am keenly interested in. The Echo Chamber Project examines how the media all served as an echo chamber in the run-up to the Iraq war. Kent Bye is determined to not let it happen again. Is there any end to the fascinating stuff that is out there right now?

I’m not sure if this will help everyone with their office environment, but this video from Belief shows off some hilarious commercials, and it might spark some creative ideas. It is rather long at about 40 minutes, but go grab some lunch, sit at your desk, and enjoy.
The Macintosh Answer to Serious Magic?
Posted by awrush on 11 Jul 2005 | Tagged as: News & Commentary
Videocue and its companion Wirecast tries to answer Serious Magic’s Visual Communicator. Based on the demo video, they’ve got a ways to go. Serious Magic has stated that a Mac version of Visual Communicator would only be possible if DirectX and DirectShow were supported. Does the Macintel announcement make that any more likely?
