When people actually think...

I love when a product in it's simplest form bares evidence of the people behind it actually sitting down/taking time to think new thoughts.
Musicovery is for me such a product, and watching the simple but very intuit iv GUI of this app. is very inspiring.

Microsoft Surface

Microsoft Surface

I remeber seeing or hearing about something like this a couple of years back... it's was a vision about mobiles becomming so powerfull that their small dimensions of screens would become the biggest obstacle. Therefore some guy og group forsaw that in the future mobiledevices would be able to lend screen-space on large table-top or whiteboard like screens.

And now Microsoft went and spoild it all by saying something like... i love you ;)
Naa, just kidding - that is pretty cool - that's my new cofeetable right there!!

Merging Work and Family life

Share selected photos from the weekend trip to the forrest, child birthday or yesterdays party with your co-workers on a public digital photo-wall showing your photos alongside your co-workers.

This is done to spark co-worker relationships and a great way to get to know your co-workers in depth. Rather than just hearing about the kayak trip - see it. Use the photos as an offset to a much more personalized conversation with the person next to you.


So now i've put a feed from my own personal online photo-wall - look at the bottom of the page, or click here
Also i put a del.icio.us tag-cloud up, wich features tags from my favorite links - and a link to the collection. - to the right...

All done in the name of merging ;)

Visible work load

I'm a yes man... and that is not allways good, because i tend to have a lot of tasks on my table at all times.
But it's not always visible how many or if they are looked at in a timely manner...
Thinking about the red and green balls you see in a lot of "innovative" offices, where you put a green one in a bowl if you have a good day or a red if you have a bad...

Having a clear tube where you stack a ball for each current task , making it very easy to see how many you have.
The stacking of the balls makes a first-in-first-out approach to task solving easy to controll. Different colors can represent different types of tasks. A task can be worked on over a number of days, putting the ball back in the stack when done for the day. A DAY ball, making it visible how many tasks you have for that day...

Ambient photoframe on your desktop

I don't have the money for a real frame, and I don't have an office where I'd put up a frame... I'm not the kind of guy who has such things on my desk.

But nonetheless i'd like to have a picture of my girlfriend on my computer desktop, having the same features as the real life photoframes... does it exists ? I havn't found one yet...

closest was this guy:
Coin-operated

Spectator cam from Second Life to public website

Just a small idea of having a kind of follow cam, as you see it in shoot-up games today, making it possible for outsiders (outside of SL) to have a look and see what SL is and what is going on right now.

Could be a list of SL-residents wich you could follow arround, if they where signed up on some sort of list...

Favorite vote panel

Connect a panel with 5-6 (i don't remember how many they have) stars (as Ipod) to your Ipod, where you can push any number of stars during a number to give the current song a star rating.

The actual rating of any current song will be displayed while playing. Leaving the stars turned on does not alter the rating.

Playlist CD-cover holder

A CD-cover holder connected to an ipod, where the order of the cd-covers decides the frequence of songs from that cd. The higher placement, the more often a song from that cd will be played.

It's a buildt on the well known favorite-star function in Ipod.
