Neat boy band

w/o casting show.

So high

Ok, now it’s official, I’m getting old. I never ever would have thought that I’ll watch something like this.

Isn’t that insane?

Well, this video shows what it looks like when things don’t work as expected. Ouch!

Big air is awesome spectacular, but street is still more complex, with style and nicer to watch.

Stupid borders

Video only available in Germany, France, Guadeloupe, French-Guayana, Martinique, Reunion…

Why is it for some media companies so hard to understand that the internet is a borderless space?

And why bother and tease and let people search the site when it only leads to that message, instead of blocking “wrong” IP ranges instantly. Maybe the producers want us to find and view their content, but can’t do it because their legal department said no.

Ah, ok, now I get it, they want us to save bandwidth, go to YouTube and see if the TV show is already there…

Interactive light map video

Emanuel posted a short video clip showing how the map projection we recently did works.

We used two vertical menus in our interface: one to show static indicators and one to see relations between selected countries. The static indicators are basically triggered by placing a token on a menu item, then an animation starts playing without much interactive features. On the other menu the user selects an indicator the same way and starts then placing two additional tokens on countries to do comparisons among each other (or moves one token around as it is shown in the clip). The first chosen country is 100% and the value of the following country relates to it, visualized by scaling circles.

We submitted this project to the upcoming Art and Cartography Symposium here in Vienna and are planning to set up the installation there again. I don’t know who else will be attending, call for papers just closed and the program isn’t released yet, but the title itself does already sound very interesting.

Tales from the crypt

I find it pretty impressing – considering the non-mainstream touch of last.fm – that the old Modern Talking videos constantly show up on last.fm’s weekly top videos.

What an eighties classic!

Blog spot

Usually the German blogosphere isn’t getting tired of complaining about the lack of revenue opportunities on the German market compared to the US blogosphere.

But some German blogs definitely must generate some considerable income: I just saw an ad on TV for BILDblog.de, a watchblog about the infamous German newspaper BILD Zeitung.

I really don’t know how much the production and broadcasting of a 50sec TV spot can be, but I would suppose it’s slightly more than running an AdWords campaign.

If more TV spots would be of that quality, ad watching could actually be much more entertaining!

Hungry and undecided?

Then watch Mr Christopher Walken roast a chicken, maybe you get some inspiration for dinner…

I just love the detail that the chicken is standing in the oven, put over an Eiffel-tower. [via affectionista]

Google VOD

Video on demand without “watch it within a day or we blow up your computer DRM”:
Mashable provides a list of 50 full length movies available on Google Video, not quite legal though.

Obama Girl

Just imagine for a moment how this a video would look like if you exchange Barack Obama with the Austrian chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer.

Map rap

I’ll see on Yahoo! Maps to find the dopest route. I prefer MapQuest. That’s a good one too. Google Maps is the best. True that. Double true!

…and more in this hilarious lazy sunday skit!
