Jason Fried of 37 Signals talking about marketing by sharing.

I have just updated our pianos and keyboards website. It has a new theme and new things that can be done including social marketing buttons and more.

Have a look and let me know your thoughts.

We have a new theme for the blog! Today I found a great theme that looks great and also has some social plugins that should help the blog get more links.

A new prototype from Honda that aims to aime people get around has been shown off. If you thought the segway was good, then check this out.

It is like a mini uni-cycle that can not only move forward and backward, but also sideways.

The link has a video of some people trying out the prototype. Looks like fun.

The new Google Chrome OS is an opertating system that is just for accessing the interenet. It is said to have a 7 second boot time and everything works through the browser, so everything is stored and runs online.  While not for everyone it does make sense for people who just want to use the internet with their laptop for example. Watch the video below.

Here is a video of me playing with the new augmented reality technology

Here is a video that shows what augmented reality could bring to video games and actual life interaction.

This talk from Pattie Maes about how they are testing new ways of interacting with the world has a glimpse of what future human computer interation could be like.

Who says that mouse and keyboard are the only ways to interact with a website. I found an interesting website project today that had interaction via a webcam. It was a small game for Criss Angel.

Heres how it worked. You print a page off hold it up to your webcam and then, you could use it to move a projection that is on the website. You probably need to go have a look at it. Here the video from the guys who made it.

Criss Angel Augmented Reality Game from Circ.us on Vimeo.

It show that thinking outside the box can produce some interesting results. It’s worth thinking about how other interactions could be used, for example speech or sounds, or other webcam video methods.
