What are people saying on Twitter

We have had a few posts about Twitter in the recent months. More and more i think people are seeing it as a valid place to get information from society as a group. I stumbled across this tool through a friend who ironically had a tweet about it today. The tool allows you to search [...]

Drugs….anyone?

This is a really cool site which gives you simulations of using drugs like marijuana, cocaine and heroin. I especially love the fact that the whole experience is done with only copy and your cursor.

Presidential Dance-Off

This is a pretty well done dance-off with Obama and McCain. Reminds me of one of my all time favorite commercial done for VolksWagen. Where Gene Kelly is seen break dancing to a remixed song of “Singing in the Rain”.

Patagonia – The Tin Shed

After all, all the looks in the world wont guide someone through your site effortlessly. Which is why a good system for your information architecture is a huge necessity. This site [...]

Honda Drive Every Drop

Just saw this one on the FWA today, really beautiful site by W+K Tokyo. The attention to detail here is really excellent. Every rollover is rewarded with cool animations and a killer soundtrack. Every section offers something visually unique. For example the engine stories feature some really cool type animations that make the story interesting [...]

About

A stew is a dish that is compiled of a bunch of different ingredients. Something that is slowly prepared with lots spices and stirring. This blog represents the stew of digital tidbits that live inside our heads. Its a place to document the things that call our attention as consumers, and something to inspire our students in our class at Miami Ad School. Hope you brought a big spoon.
