Madeloud.com recently launched its new site to the indie music community with some unique new ideas. To begin, they’re offering unlimited digital upload space for the first 300 bands to sign up. That in itself is something unprecedented in the independent music arena…underground bands and solo artists can also promote and sell their digital music direct to fans in one place without the red tape and high percentage fees required by other music portal providers.

Very cool concept using the iPhone’s built in gyroscope.. the “iHologram” animation apparently updates dynamically depending on the orientation of the phone, giving the illusion of a 3 dimensional holographic image. Enough already, watch the video.. you’ll get it.

Okay, in my book, this is the first really useful app I’ve found on the app store for the new iPhone. The DataCase app by Veiosoft adds some much needed file storage capabilities to the iPhone. I’ve heard of others out there, but have also heard lots of grumblings about the lack of features or other issuses. I spent the $6.99 on the advice of my friend Carl and grabbed the app. I have to admit, I’m really glad I did.

All really first class designers are both artists, engineers, and men of a powerful and intolerant temper, quick to resist the least modification of the plans, energetic in fighting the least infringement upon what they regard as their own sphere of action.

Another good read by Mindy Wagner over at Web Designer Depot on mood boards for web projects..
- #As the ubiquitous (and crappy) IE browser begins to wane in popularity, it's increasingly more important for developers to focus on cross-browser development. "Works on my machine" just isn't a suitable answer anymore folks.
- #Wow. I'm amazed at the "process" the SDSU logo designers had to endure and just how little they were paid to deal with it. A designer's nightmare for sure.
- #I always wondered, but now I have confirmation that baking is gay.
- #Who knew the history of the "Honka Hoota" bike horn was so compelling? Those Australian synthetic material trees must have been a godsend...
- #I don't know what the point is or why I even found it noteworthy... maybe it's all the hoopla around the cheese carving or maybe it's just the dork that's carving it up. Is it art? I guess. Either way, it was an interesting way to kill a couple of minutes. Watch the video.
- #Sadly, Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch passed away this week. If you haven't already watched his "Last Lecture" you're missing out. I would definitely recommend taking the time out to watch the video or maybe buy the book. It's great stuff.
- #Who would have thought you could have so much mindless fun playing with a spider? I'm so easily entertained some days...
- #I've always been annoying, but a chance to make an easy $350 to be someones nemesis is just too hard to resist. Sign me up please..
- #Okay kiddies, turn on the way-back machine and lets go back to 1989 for a look at the original Photo-Shop version 0.87 icon.
