Touchless wizzkids Elliptic Labs are on Engadget (again!) and this time they have teamed up with Opera Software. They have created a touchless photoalbum interface. Check out the video:

Ah, and if you happen to be really interrested in testing it (or just in Amsterdam), meet them at IBC 2009 and try their prototype at the Opera Software booth – 3.C11.

Nothing better than to see a client doing great.

Want your photos to look like Polaroids?

» 06 September 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

Quite funny, I downloaded loads of Polaroid images some time back, so that in case I wanted to create Polaroidstyle photos with Photoshop I could. Then suddenly get an email from the lead developer at Rollip.com telling me about their website and web-application.

Its an easy 3 click manner to create images like the one you see on the left. Its free too!

One thing Im missing though, is the ability to choose the position and cropping of the photo I’m uploading to the Polaroid template. Hope to see that in their next release.

Went to Pecha Kucha in Oslo and Magnus Larsson presented his Dune project. He proposes to build a “green wall” longer than the great wall of China across whole Africa to stop desertification.

It looks great, its innovative, (apparently) evironmentally friendly and not too expensive.

Now theres thinking outside the box!

Most common web-banner formats in Norway (mest vanlig banner formater i Norge)

» 27 August 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

After some research, I (believe) I have found the most common webbanner formats in Norway.

Both the ad agency McCann Norge and webproduction company Jucicy agree that these are the 3 most common sizes: – Board: 468×400

- Topbanner: 768×150
- Skyscraper: 180×500 (can have different heights)
Microsoft Advertising Norge say they use mainly

- 300×250

- 234×60

But, they also have: 728×90, 160×600 and 180×150

This is the overview from VG banner formater
Format Pixler (bredde x høyde) Maks kB
Toppboard 768 piksler 150 piksler 50 kB
Nettboard 468 piksler 400 piksler 60 kB

Olark, previoulsy known as Hab.la (which was a MUCH better name btw), offers easy and free webchat functionality to your website. When you are connected on Gtalk it will show on your website without revealing your username.

Really great if you have a webshop for example and want to chat with your customers.

Great work Olark!

Download Youtube videos easily

» 06 August 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

Gazzump (previously known as Farkie) downloads and converts Youtube videos, MySpace playlists, movies, audio, images, and much more into several different formats such as mp3, avi, mov, etc. Its kind of slow at times, but still usefull if you want to for example check out a video offline or listen to a song as a mp3 that you cant find anywhere. (Example: The fantastic song “Bonkers” by Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden is not available on iTunes, nor have I found it in any shop, but its on Youtube…)

Only bad part about Gazzump is that you have to register.
