A pretty hectic week for us as we restore the blog section to it’s former glory. A ton of changes left before our new Joomla-based site is officially live for all the world to see, but we’re only a week away. If you’re reading this on the 20th of January 2008, you’re either a heartless robot, or an invited tester. With respect to the latter, you’ll be able to comment on these posts very soon. And without further ado, here’s a quick recap of the best creative news stories we didn’t cover last week.
At last week’s MacWorld, Steve Jobs pulled the world’s thinnest notebook out of a envelop, officially announcing the MacBook Air. The minds behind the viral Slush-O campaign successfully packed theatres showing JJ Abrams latest creation – Cloverfield. The movie and the monster did not disappoint. DecorCraft Inc. brought forth an amazing double-walled porcelain coffee cup, that resembles one of those disposable papercups they give out at AA meetings.
Suck UK unveiled their pixel and digit tape, which allows users to colour in custom messages and label everything from boxes to street signs. We also found an unbelievable small-scale solar powered air conditioning unit by Spanish-based Rotartica. Lastly, Paul Hollington’s ‘We Love to Build’ series amazed us with Photoshopped images of cloned concrete structures set on top of falsified surroundings.
