We’ve put together a fun little animation for Guernsey and Jersey Gas to promote their latest heating offers.
Created in Flash it utilises a range of the animation tools available such as skeletal animation and each of the bees, the bird, frog etc have separate timelines meaning the motion is constantly evolving so each time it loops they will be in different places.

I love bikes. If I were rich I would have a museum of bikes. And if I were even richer I would invest in the development of this beauty. This concept bike designed by cycling legend Chris Boardman features puncture proof tyres which rotate around a fixed circular rim and finger print recognition to stop Mr Bike Thief riding off with your beloved machine. I just hope that by the time it becomes a reality I am still fit enough to ride one!

NMAP have visualised the 288,945 most popular websites (according to Alexa) in the world using their favicon — that’s the little picture that appears by bookmarks and in the address bar. Google dwarfs the competition. I’d like a bit poster of this so help me spot our site!

I blogged about Kinect — or Natal as it was know back then — a little while ago. The technology is truly amazing, it watches how you move, listens to what you say and understands you… it’s a massive advance in interaction and leaves everything else dead in the water. Even better it’s available for you to buy this this November for your Xbox 360. This is futurist technology that you’ll be able to own very soon. Peter Molyneux presented the first live demo of Milo to TED and the video of the talk is now live. It’s an interesting listen and shows how Kinect has the potential to create new experiences. The animation looks fantastic too. I might have to get an Xbox 360!

Continuing with giant theme for today is a new website by the BBC that allows you to superimpose events, places and things on different parts of the world to compare scale. Want to see how big the Glastonbury Festival would be in Guernsey, or scale of Pakistan’s floods? How Big Really allows you to do that and truly appreciate the scale. I think it works particularly well in Guernsey due to our small size and clear geographic boarders

Pylons draping their power-lines across the landscape is not something we have to worry about in Guernsey, but if we did I’d want ours to look like these. Still at the conceptual stage I’m not sure they’ll ever get made — there must be a lot of structural and performance considerations — but I think someone should try.

Want a new drink every three days (well nearly) for a year? Yeah? Then you need the new Freestyle vending machine from Coke. It has a whooping 104 flavours to choose from. I’d like to be able to truly ‘freestyle’ and mix flavours like a carbonated fizzy-pop DJ. Or you could buy a SodaStream, they’re back, and make any flavour you want.
