Velcro can save the world!

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

I’ve written a few prior posts about the iPad. One that I particularly liked was about Andrew and Andrew and how they use the iPad as a wicked-cool extension of the DJ’ing system. It goes without stating that the iPad, in true Apple style, is a beautiful thing. The user interface and the platform as a whole will continue to evolve as new applications are developed and users continue refine what it “is” and what it is “good” for.

The consumer is always right and markets will develop that even the most savvy marketer would have never imagined.

All this is said as an intro to the video. It is one where low-tech meets high-tech. Bliss is merely an iPad and a few Velcro strips away…

So, drop us a line and let us know of unique applications on or of iPads and what your thoughts are on how this platform will change personal computing in the years to come.

Given enough time & good motivation…

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Just found this on Gizmodo…

CRAZY stuff here!! These guys, put together an incredibly technical solution, leveraging an iPad, a laptop, wireless local networks, TouchOSC, Ableton, a python script from Mono, which allows them to wander around amongst the crowd while they DJ and rock out…

What I dig…  Their passion, creativity, personality and their pure pursuit of the cool which is driving the project.  Oh, and their mixing together of a handful of my favorite songs in a way that could “never be done with vinyl” was pretty impressive, too…

I can’t wait to see their demo of the “shake box”.  This functionality looks like it will add an even more tactile interaction and response to the whole setup.

Get to the 5 minute mark to hear the pretty cool mix they threw together using this crazy configuration…  The details are not for the faint of heart; sounds like they leveraged some of the best and brightest to make this magic work.

Oh, the tools made available to you when you’re a celebrity… or you have minimal responsibility and massive amounts of time on your hands.  So jealous… :)

Great work, Andrew & Andrew!

The Tough “Pad”…

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

With all of the hoppla surounding the iPad, this was a refreshing and light-hearted way to reinforce Blendtec’s “Will it blend” concept. Over and over again, this concepts proves to be a winner.

Two quick thoughts.

First, only 3 days after the release date, this video ALREADY has over 2 MILLION views.  That is massively impressive!

Second, with all of the things that Tom from Blendtec blends and all of the wonderful gases and dusts that he gets exposed to, is he going to be the next Tin Man 20 years from now?

Sorry for the Wizard of Oz throwback, but did you see all of the dust from the remains of that “tough pad”?

While I haven’t gotten my hands on an iPad, YET, I have been thinking a lot about the impact that iPads, gestures and more mobile computing can have on our clients’ businesses and have developed a lot of thoughts about how this is going to change/affect things going forward.  Stay tuned for more updates as I’ve got more uncanny and sometime unconventional thoughts about the core affects these have for us all.  For a more direct path to the information, I’ve set up an iPad tag within the blog so you can follow it, specifically.
