Friday Videos - June 23rd, 2017

posted June 23, 2017 #

Settling in during my first week back in Tennessee. If anyone has tips for how to make working remotely less isolating, I'm open to hear them. On the whole, it's great to see friends and I'm excited at the prospects of freelance work that lies ahead. Oh, and some nice announcements coming down the pipe for yk records as well. Been quiet for a minute but it's just brewing.

Enjoy these pleasantries! And many thanks to Jamie for a majority of the distractions this week, quite welcome.
  • Time for Sushi - remember Going to the Store? It's back and 100x more insane.
  • Guiness World Record: Team Skipping Challenge - this is mesmerizing. It looks like a Cyriak video but it's real.
  • Pink Windmill Kids - I don't care if this has already made the Internet rounds, it's new to me. Awkward child show intros with dance routines rarely stand the test of time but I think this one nailed it. You really just need the first 30 seconds.
  • BBC Breaking News - an amusing glitch in the BBC news system sends this intro into a tailspin. Ah, the wonders of automation. It's long and repetitive but there's a calming nature to it. Read more here.
  • The Day Today Intro - speaking of weird intros. Look at this thing! I know nothing of this show and refuse to look up if it's a parody show or not. I just enjoy the absurdity.
  • Title Drops - say the name of the movie. Say it! Okay. via Kottke.
  • 100 People Share the Weirdest Place They Had Sex - that title tells you all you need to know.
  • Frey Meyer Demo Tape - what do you do when you find a cassette from the 90's filming patrons of a Fred Meyer? Digitize the entire 26 minutes and put it on Youtube. Read more here and thank Jeremy for the heads up.
Need more treats? Enjoy this. Bad ass dance battle, albeit a short one. Or maybe you're more of a slow bridge kinda person? We got that too.

It's PRIDE weekend here in Nashville. Find an activity to celebrate some diversity and embrace it.

Sam Bosma Art Prints

posted June 22, 2017 #

There's a magical, other worlds, quality to the work of Sam Bosma. Many of the art prints being offered depict films and series you may be familiar with (ie Chappie surrounded by familiar bots) but they somehow manage to maintain a fresh, original vibe... even when you're intimately familiar with the subject matter. There are plenty of original pieces mixed in that carry the same color palette that hints at some other, vaguely familiar, universe.

See more on his official site and Tumblr.

Radio Social, Justyn Iannucci

posted June 22, 2017 #

I've enjoyed the illustration work of Justyn Iannucci for some time but this recent work he did for Radio Social bowling alley really grabbed my eye. It's not often that you see an alley take the time to have custom graphics made for their lanes, particularly some that take a old school tattoo kind of vibe. It looks great and I'd take that vampire teeth bowling pin piece as an enamel jacket adornment, thank you very much.

Made With ARKit

posted June 21, 2017 #

If you aren't familiar, ARKit is a framework for Augmented Reality put forth by Apple that gets introduced with iOS 11. The ultra simple version explanation of it (as I understand it) is that cameras on your device detect the space and light in your environment and then place various virtual objects "in the room" with the intent of them feeling like they're real. That's AR in a nutshell but we're a ways off from having it be an everyday experience.

However, progress is being made and we're going to see these kinds of integrations explode in leaps and bounds over the next few years. Keep an eye on Made with ARKit in the short term to see examples of how this technology is being used. Currently it's mostly just planets in your kitchen or a pile of LaCroix cans falling from nowhere but there's plenty of possibilities headed our way. I, for one, am quite intrigued.
