A whole new time! (Neolog´s design watch)

The German company Neolog have made this really cool wristwatch, called NEOLOG A-24 II. Rather than showing the time with numbers or a dial, the digital watch shows time as line.

NEOLOG is based on dividing time into intelligible units: Hours, units of ten minutes, and units of one minutes which are arranged in vertical blocks.

It takes a bit getting used to (at least for the first hour of having the watch..:) BUT it is so sexy... Christmas tip of the year I say! (too late for most countries, but if the gifts are given on the Holy 3 Kings Day there is still a chance!)

Check out the site (and order it) http://www.neolog.cc/english/ Ahh... and the site has some widget downloads too :)

The rapping 3 kings

The Spanish ad agency, La Despensa have made a really cool website:

Its the 3 rapping kings battling out Papa Noel, or Santa Claus if you like.

And the coolest feature is being able to choose a king, upload your face photo, spray a msg on the wall, choose who this rap is dedicated to and get the king to rap to your friend, lover, or whoever needs a rap the holiday season!

Hoho.

PowerPoint Tip: AutoFit (automatically resize text)

AutoFit Text in PowerPoint

In PowerPoint AutoFit intentionally shrinks the size of text as large amounts are added to a slide. The top complaint about PowerPoint slide presentations is text that is too small. PowerPoint Design templates were originally created to force good design by setting font size automatically. The AutoFit feature defeats this purpose and actually encourages too much text on slides by shrinking it as you type, allowing people to use fonts too small to be seen.

To turn AutoFit off:

	Choose Tools from the pull-down menu
	AutoCorrect Options
	Click the tab for AutoFormat As You Type
	Uncheck the 2 options under the Apply as you type section: AutoFit title text to placeholder AutoFit body text to placeholder.
	Click OK. The change applies to active and future PowerPoint presentations, old presentations are not affected. from: http://www.createthefuture.com or check out: http://office.microsoft.com
