Kinected Conference from Lining (Lizzie) Yao on Vimeo.
I’m impressed with all of this technology, however the timer in the bubble next to the individual speaking really stands out. I’m sure it will do wonders for those who care not to be concise, thus making meetings/conference calls/webinars all the more efficient and enjoyable.

“On this day, the day he was assassinated, what I remember is the night we both cracked up drinking tea.” – Yoko Ono
Touching op-ed contribution by Yoko Ono on the day that would have marked John Lennon’s 70th birthday.
Vintage Tokyo Subway Manner Posters

I will give up my seat if you promise not to visit me in my dreams.
I remember seeing etiquette or manner posters throughout the subway stations in Tokyo and particularly recall a poster advising women not to do their makeup on the train. However, none were quite as interesting (or incredibly frightening and nightmare inspiring) as the one (above) from 1978 wherein “Marcel Marceau gestures toward a priority seat reserved for elderly and handicapped passengers, expecting mothers, and passengers accompanying small children.” More vintage poster goodness here.
Thanks to Rudy for sending me this.
Live From Daryl’s House: Lowdown
November 18th, 2010 § 0
The formula is simple, Daryl Hall invites various artists over to his house in upstate New York, they jam together along with his house band (pun intended), record it and put in on the web. I was just listening to Boz Scagg’s “Lowdown” (one of my favorite tracks) and was reminded of the episode of Live From Daryl’s House where he performs this song with his musical guest, Chromeo. Fast forward to 2:06 to go straight to the beginning of the song.
