To recap: The screens with borders are from the PS2 version played on PS3; the full-screen shots are from the re-mastered game on PS3.

Magntize | Beautiful websites that introduce you to the world.

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:01:22 -0800

Magntize is a group of guys who have a dream: a dream of thousands of introductions. It all began at a small coffee shop in Texas where Dave Onkels began pitching the idea of personal websites for everyone. Sure we all have blogs and accounts with various social networking sites. There are places to post photos, upload videos, chat with friends, edit your resume, or update your status... These sites are fostering converstions among folks all over the world, but if someone wanted to know more than 140 characters about you where would you tell them to begin?

A little known entreprenuer from Austria gets it. If you want to get to know Thomas Marban check out his site - it's elegantly designed, simple, and hyperlinked like crazy. It's one of the best online introductions of someone we've ever witnessed. "Why doesn't everyone have one of these?" We wondered to ourselves." If the web is a converstion who is doing the introducing?

Now there are a few important elements to a good introduction, it needs to be clear, it needs to be brief, and most of all it needs to be authentic. If you're a small business consultant from Iowa with a passion for steak we don't want people thinking you're a yoga instructor from California with a passion for spinach. We think you'll agree that clarity is essential. If your first crush was a kindergarten teacher named Ms. Golf, that's great. However, the first time you meet someone may not be the best time to launch into your pre-pubescent love life. Brevity is a good thing. Finally, it would be awesome if you graduated first in your class from Princeton University before accepting the CMO position at Apple... unless you really didn't. In that case we'd rather get to know the real you, so be authentic. A good introduction can't do miracles or make everyone like you, but it should reveal the awesomeness that is you. When we first set out on this journey we thought we were making cool looking websites that gave people ego boosts. "Look at my hot site!" they'd exclaim, "Its completely unnecessary, but it's there just in case someone googles me!" Now we realize that's missing the point. This isn't primarily about people with self esteem issues... This is about making introductions. Magntize introduces you to the world.

An interview with the man behind the name "iMac"

From the page: "An interview with the man behind the name "iMac""

This is a cool interview over at Cult of Mac -- you've heard of Steve Jobs of course, you know who Jonathan Ive is, you might have heard of Rob Janoff, but do you know Ken Segall's name? He's a former creative director from TBWA\Chiat\Day, and he has two claims to Apple fame: he worked on the "Think Different" campaign, and he's responsible for coming up with the one letter that may have defined the modern-day Apple as we know it. That's right, he named the iMac.

From the page: "Facebook Design Easter Egg In The Upcoming Facebook Homepage Changes?"

Facebook is known for leaving subtle easter eggs around the site. Whether it's the contra easter egg, Facebook photo easter eggs, or any other small quirk, Facebook developers and designers like to make small changes to the site that only the most obsessive users would notice.

This morning while checking out images of the upcoming homepage changes, I noticed the slight shading of left-side navigation. The color used? #fbfbfb

Study Finds Social Media is Actually Social

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:25:36 -0800

In our society, there's an image of a computer nerd as this sad, pale, and lonely guy sitting in the dark gazing at a glowing screen. As it turns out, that's just an image and it's far from the truth.

The reality is that most technology users are perfectly well-adjusted and social creatures. In fact, those who surf the web and use their mobile phones may actually be more social and better connected to the world at large than those who don't.
