• Polaroid Digital Mobile Photo Printer (Zink) – Oooh. Zink (zero ink) technology. The colour lives in the paper. [See also here.]
• Song Chart Meme – a set on Flickr – Wonderful series of charts which represent song lyrics.
• Virtual Worlds News: Disney’s Virtual Magic Kingdom to Close Doors – Read the comments for a glimpse of some passionate and dissapointed users. [via:waxy]
• FT.com: BBC chief quits to launch online service – Ashley Highfield has left the BBC to become chief exec of Kangaroo.
• Infochimps.org: Free Redistributable Rich Data Sets – “The infochimps.org community is assembling and interconnecting the world’s best repository for raw data — a sort of giant free almanac, with tables on everything you can put in a table.”
• The DEFINITIVE guide to Airline WiFi and Internet Access – In-flight wifi. It’s getting there.
• Aviary – Creation on the Fly – I like this a lot. Phoenix is an image editing tool (think: Photoshop on the web) while Peacock is a visual algorthmic patten generator (think: pipes for images). Lots lots more tools yet to be launched. Aviary is also a community. I have 5 invites.
• Musical Arduino – Aduino acting as a MIDI controller (sending serial data at 31,250bps, no computer required). I love the piezo elements as velocity-sensitive electricronic drums. Way cool.
• Whomwah.com » Blog Archive » More fun with QR Codes and the BBC logo – bbc.co.uk/programmes as a QRCode containing the BBC logo. Nice
