Robin Sloan wrote a book and then Emily Cooper remixed it to produce some amazing 3D renderings

You can enjoy them in their original goodness or get a glimpse here if you have Silverlight installed.

To navigate around drag and drop using your mouse or you can select an individual image from the drop-down in the top left hand corner. Zoom in and out using the -/+ icons or your mouse wheel and you can select the full screen experience using the icon in the top right hand corner (just press [Esc] to go back to normal mode)

I’ve been a fan of Hugh Macleod’s (GapingVoid) work for a while (the Blue Monster helped me make the decision to join Microsoft and I even use one of his designs on my business card) so it was particularly nice to have an opportunity to purchase one of his limited edition prints – Wolf vs Sheep. Just got to be patient now while they are produced ;)

Meantime – thanks to the magic of Deep Zoom this is what I’ve just ordered (if you miss out on this one keep an eye on GapingVoid to see what other treasures come up for sale)…

If you’re wondering how much work goes into setting up the keynote room for an event like MIX well – here is the whole 6 days in 6 and a half minutes :)

Sit back and enjoy all the hard work (and don’t forget to check out the keynotes at a slower pace on the official site)

FrankArr pointed out it was Star Wars day, and Clone Wars are coming soon… but watching it projected from R2D2s head would be just perfect

I so want one! Shame it doesn’t work as a Media Center Extender ;)

The folks at Messenger Café have just got their direct line to Santa up and running and now if you add northpole@live.com to your contacts in Windows Live Messenger you can tell Santa if you've been naughty or nice, and argue why you really should get that shiny red bike for Christmas this year....

If you don't have Windows Live Messenger go get it here.

In what must be a very bizarre commentary on the times we live in early seasons of Sesame Street have been released on DVD - cleared labeled that they are not suitable for young children!

Is the world becoming such a sanitized, nannied place that Sesame Street isn't bland enough to feed our kids? No wonder Grimm's Fairy Tales have been sanitized to the point of Disneyesque mindless pap.

Yet in the same world we expose kids to violent video games and cartoons that leave them inured and unable to judge right from wrong.

It's that time of year again ;)

(Thanks Adam for a great, topical, sample)

For a man with his very own, um, thrusting edifice in the heart of Manhattan I was surprised to notice that Donald only has one prominent ball at the base of his tower ;)

Looks like he's a man with nothing to prove (though I have to wonder about the terrier on his head!)
