Kurt Halsey

In his own words, Kurt Halsey's work is "Shy and quiet, yet expressive and charming, my paintings use a sweetness and an innocence to tell the stories of heartache, love, sorrow, regret, confusion, and fear that each of us realistically feels in certain situations. The joy of success and the worry of failing, the humor, quirks, and frustrations of day to day interactions within relationships, and the endless yearning for a story book love are… Continue

Multi-layered music from Zoe Keating with her Cello and Macbook

Zoe Keating is a performer who (in her own words) "fuses information technology and classical music". She uses her cello and Macbook to create beautiful multi-layered melodies that sound more like a complete orchestra than one live performer. She is currently touring with Amanda Palmer and in March she appeared at ETech in San Jose (video above). Also in this video we see some cool LIDAR technology (like radar but with lasers).

Zoe was trained in classical music…

Steve Jobs in Typography By Dylan Roscover

How amazing is this? Designed by Dylan Roscover, a self professed design geek, this portrait of Steve Jobs is a typeface-driven design based on the "Here's to the crazy ones" ad campaign from Apple in the 90s.

Mime Epidemic? Or Genius Advertising?

"McDonald's has recently launched a new interactive sign where passers-by can interact with images displayed on McDonald's giant LED screen, and visitors can take an interactive role at one of London's most photographed locations."

McDonald's has seemed to pick up on the innate human nature to take "mime" photos (I mean, how many people can resist the urge to take a picture "holding up" the Leaning Tower of Pisa?) Cute idea, I think.
