This is definitely one of the coolest and most useful examples of augmented reality I’ve seen. It allows you to go through some of the features of the camera, taking photos of yourself, videos and photo effects. It’s just cool.
Try it out for yourself here!
Get a collection of games including “World of Goo”, “Gish” and “Aquaria” and pay whatever you want for them. The idea is that the games will release their code, people pay what they want for them and they can choose where the money goes. The choice is directly to the developers, to charity or a mixture of both.
It’s a really cool project and you can read more about it / buy the games using the link below.
The Humble Indie Bundle
Chris-McGarry.com is one hell of a site. Created by Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks
Chris is a singer/songwriter and one of the problem with lots of musician’s sites is that when you click a link on the page, the music track you were listening to stops. Chris Coyier has cleverly avoided this problem.
It’s all technically one page but content gets revealed and hidden depending on what you click. It uses Javascript which will probably surprise most people as it could well pass as a Flash site. This means the music keeps going and you get to enjoy cool little animations to boot! 
Enjoy! (and click Gary’s face 3 times).
Darth Vader in a SoundBooth recording as a Sat Nav voice. Hilarious.

Cool FlashSite and pretty cool song.
Quality Irish song tbh.
Nice collection of Fonts perfect for logo designs.
4onDemand on Youtube. How have I not seen this before?!
Possibly the best WebDesign ever.
My new Workspace
I was at a lecture from Mark Swaine the Creative Director of Squire today which proved to be an excellent and informative class.
One thing I came away with though was a feeling that I should really delve into AfterEffects a lot more. I’ve messed around with it but Mark says that he loves using Flash and AfterEffects and, although it might sound a bit stupid, that was a combination I can’t say I’ve ever thought of using before.
He showed us how they can be combined to make some truly dazzling websites and videos. Granted, these companies have big budgets and years of experience under their belts but this stuff is just awesome.
And the absolutely hilarious Viral Site for the Pomegranate Phone.
There is no reason not to give it more of a go seeing as there is more than enough tutorial sites to help get started such as;
If anyone has any relevant sites to share be sure to comment.
Two of my friends (@rosmad being one) were looking at my site today while I was beside them and I was embarrassed by the theme. You know, it’s not even good and it was chosen because of a “it’ll do for now” kind of attitude.
I mean seriously, who likes half naked ladies?! I know I don’t but I’ll leave an image of the header photo in this post as a keep safe……
Buh bye crap theme!
New theme is called Notepad Chaos and can be downloaded free from SmashingMagazine.
Hey all, hopefully someone can help me.
I’ve a blog for a project I’m working on and I’ve a Facebook Page for the same. I’ve no problem displaying the blog posts on the FaceBook page’s wall, it’s the next step that’s gettin’ me.
I want the fans of my FB page to be able to see the latest update on their home wall’s. It’s nothing new. Lamebook.com and Komplett.ie both do it but I don’t see how they are doing it either.
Google didn’t yield anything for me and it’s something that’d be very handy.
Thanks, Sean
A Christmas Story told the Dubberland way.
Free Fight Like Apes Live album. Free is always good
Nice little photography project over at Boards.ie.
Amazingly unique Clock Design.
I’ve really been listening to a lot of The Beatles lately, largely because I got The Beatles: Rockband, and I particularly love “Here comes the Sun”.
Jason Mraz takes on Winter Wonderland. Well, might I add.
Alma is a fantastic 3D short film. Really fantastic.
Oxygen from Christopher Hendryx is another really groovy short 3D film.
That’s all for this week folks. Enjoy!
And do you lack an iPhone or one of those new fandangled phones that do everything? Fear not for this will interest you.. Enter: Ag Tweet.
This service is cool. It allows you to send a SMS or text message to an Irish number and that, in turn, updates your Twitter’s feed. If you have free texts then this won’t even cost you a dime.
It’s better than forking out for the English Number and it literally takes 20 seconds to set up (including putting the number in your phone)
And for those a bit weary, there is more info here and just to prove it actually works;
Have fun and happy Tweeting
