Ich lese gerade einen Artikel in der Frankfurter Rundschau über die Tatsache, dass der hessische Energieversorger HSE ein neues Logo bekommen hat, das es schon gab. Auch der Slogan „Das Ganze sehen“ war bereits vergeben. Interessant, dass es auch einer so renommierten Agentur wie Jung von Matt passieren kann, eben nicht „Das Ganze“ zu sehen…

This is plagiarism in two ways: The 5 items of something idea was sneaked from Carsonified’s blog and all the videos were first published on Computerlove. So, sue me…
Here are 5 videos now that will probably put a smile on your face:

I received an e-mail today that I participated in a poll at the beginning of this year. No, not what you think. It wasn’t spam, I really participated. I would like to recommend that you take a look at its outcome. It is called “Nen Rolli hatte ich noch nie” and is a Zwischenprüfungsprojekt by Alex Ketzer (I’ve forgotten from which university). There are some web design issues concerning the web site, but the book looks really great.

My friend Astrid told me about a sweet little shop run by her and a friend in which they sell some of their stuff. If you’re into nice and simple illustrations with a funny twist or warm scarves which look like a fox or rabbit, then this is for you.
Oh, the shop is called “Sonst noch was?“. Check out the blog, too.

Ok, so you like to use paint on your wall but your landlord won’t let you? Why not mess up the wall of some BBC studio? Enter Blast Studio…

It’s time for a new edition of Interesting Links.
Nick La has gathered some very nice Single-Page Portfolio Sites at his Web Designer Wall. Some interesting concepts and a lot of high end use of web dev techniques. I personally love We Bleed Design for its fancy PNG effects and Fröjd for its simplicity.
Then, there is the Reverse Graffiti Project. If you don’t know what reverse graffiti is, go and have a look at the video. Incredible!
For those of you who haven’t heard this already: NASA has their photos online on a new website called NASA Images (you would have guessed) powered by Internet Archive. If you’re not into astronomy, you will still like the trippy images anyway…
And finally, especially for my students, there’s the Opera Web Standards Curriculum, “a complete course to teach you standards-based web development, including HTML, CSS, design principles and background theory, and JavaScript basics.”
Well, isn’t there something here for everyone of you?

Every once in a while there’s an online application which really blows your mind. And here’s this while’s mind-blowing online application:

Wow, I just found out that Sigur Rós have published their full film Heima at youtube.com for free. If you have one and a half hours to spare, you should see it, it’s very impressive.
It combines the music of Sigur Rós with a lot of impressive images of their homeland Iceland and from concerts they gave after travelling around the world.

Some more I’ve stumbled upon in the last view weeks… Haha, sorry about this.
http://toda.com/ which is about design and architecture and all that.
http://www.varywell.com/ which has a nice navigation.
http://www.mariolombardo.com/ who likes to do stuff with his hands.
Oh, and there is a competition going on at Slanted. So if you are into typography and like to do some fancy sh*t, that’s the place.
Update: Heavy Backpack (the site you need to know if you’re a designer, you know…) are running a link drive (I didn’t know what that was before, but anyway…). So I just want to mention how very cool and necessary they are and that everybody should have a look.

I often asked myself in the past – as I’m sure have many many web designers – how such an ugly platform such as MySpace can have such a big success. Is it because it’s ugly? Is it because it’s easy to use? Is it because everybody does it?
Well, yes, some of all of that. But hey, wait a minute. Isn’t this Web 2.0? What about the wisdom of the masses. OK, or rather the taste of the masses 
I was happy to see that the first subversive pages are appearing here and there, like this one (news pilfered from de-bug.de).
I’m going to look for many more account which do something like this…
