Electrovision
VJ Dr. Mo does some pretty incredible work. Electrovision is one of his latest posts on Vimeo showing a strong community supporting vj performance. In the coming months I will begin posting some experimental videos of my own showing the results that can be achieved using various vj tools and software. You can learn more about Dr. Mo by visiting his Vimeo profile here.The New Dork

I’m a big fan of Dr. Mo from England. He’s done some great work and I’m sure we will see his work in the U.S. soon.Trial Resource
Trial Resource was a new business entity created by HG Litigation, a national leader in litigation support services for the legal profession. Within the span of only 2 months and a corporate launch date set for January 2009, I was in charge of developing the identity system, website and marketing materials. Research was done in developing the company name and a niche was discovered that continues to keep them at the top of Google’s search results.MacJournal
I have started experimenting with MacJournal as a simple way to enter blog posts without the need of logging into WordPress everytime. With the exception of image formatting, I think this will be a much more efficient way to update my site on a regular basis. Let me know what your preferred tools are for posting articles to your own site.
Ulrich Schnauss – Einfeld
I’m a big fan of Ulrich Schnauss. A German composer from Kiel and Berlin, his music is ethereal, beautiful and always engaging. It’s difficult to find videos of his music, but he has such a strong following of fans across the globe that they create homemade videos to go along with his music. I created one of my own below.@anywhere
Posterous
Psssst! I’m using Posterous.
iPad & The Future of Everything
I have been trying to understand the potential of the iPad since Steve Jobs announced it to the mainstream media in January of 2010. At first, I thought it was a pretty lame device. But the more I began to unravel it’s tight integration with media, applications and corporate partners and the incredible intuitiveness and simplicity of the device, I began to understand what Apple had created and I had to buy one. Apple is leveraging their distribution models in a way that has the potential to revolutionize the way we relate to media and conduct business on so many levels.
Fortune posted an article on 5 iPad Competitors. All are compelling devices to purchase, but I made the following comment and observation below for the iPad.
The 5 iPad Competitors are all great and well-designed “devices” but the most obvious things these tablets are missing is access to iTunes, the App Store and iBooks. The iPad will be revolutionary in that it will offer a fully integrated media experience with direct access to millions of media assets available at a competitive price point.
The tight relationship Apple has created between it’s products, software, developers and media partners leaves these competitors playing catch-up or not being able to compete at all. Apple has already established a significant lead in software development for these mobile devices that no one can touch for at least another year or two.
If you factor in those distribution channels available to an Apple device, then it’s obvious why the iPad will succeed on so many levels.
Creative Brilliance
Drew Wilson of drewwilson.com continues to expand his portfolio of work into many areas by creating great designs, code, communities and artwork that blend together so they are seamless, intuitive and a sight to behold. In a previous article I wrote, I mentioned how Drew is easily one of the best designers in the interactive media space. Below is a list of what Drew Wilson has created. I’m not a coder by any means, but I have the fortitude to continually learn more and implement ideas when it’s needed to enhance the user-experience. I hope you will be inspired by these projects as well.
Drew Wilson Personal Projects:
Web Applications
Open Source
Corporation
Learning from others is a big help and I hope Drew Wilson’s passion for great work sparks interest in you as well. Check back often as I will be updating the list with background information for each. I’m anxious to see these projects grow in quality and size as Drew’s style of design, interface and code becomes more ubiquitous throughout the web (note: I’m linking to an Objective-J article until the Titan framework becomes available.)
