Unhappy Hipsters

February 7, 2010 by Melvær

This blog is great! It basically uses images of modern architecture or furniture that have people in them and makes a witty remark like: “At this point, the womb chair was played out — so he created his very own womb room. He just knew Eero would have loved it.”

I also find the existence of this blog humorous with regards to its readership. I dont know this for sure but I supposedly hip people like myself posting tweets and blog-posts (just like this one) proclaiming how great “Unhappy Hipsters” is. I guess the joke is on us, but who cares when its so good?

At the end of the day its nice to laugh at oneself, I always try not to take myself to seriously, but must admit that i often fail to do so.
Stuff like Unhappy Hipsters help.

Know your memes. A Study of internet virals.

November 15, 2009 by ultramagnus79

Picture 3

I came across this site; Know Your Memes. It is really good, and a must see for people wanting to understand the cause and origins of online virals. I had a good time this sunday going through all these mini dokumentaries (about 4 mins a piece), giving me the back story on virals such as; the keyboard cat, starwars kid, rickrolls, lolcats, numa numa etc. They also coverd some virals that I hadn’t caught on before, which was very interesting. But what I found truly interesting was when they explained how the market and the media tried to get in on the virals and make a profit, and how this affected the different virals. For example the Christan Bale Rant. This viral was heavily pushed by the media and thus peaking very quickly but then again fading away equally fast. This shows that in this example, for a viral to be long lasting it has to come from a more underground independent source.

A must see, for all online marketing people.

One of the reasons we use Away 3D over Papervision 3D

October 7, 2009 by Melvær

Ralph Hauwert annonced his departure from Papervison on Flash on the beach. As we are doing a lot of 3D projects at the moment we where happy with our choice of using Away 3D rather than Papervison. We started using Away 3D in september, to us it has been easier to work with than Papervision, for example we used it to create the augmented reality on Sunnivasverden.no (augmented, marker). I just hope they get a new website soon, its hard to recommend someone with a wesite like Away3D.com. However i feel obliged to give Papervision credit for their open-source development of a technology that has allowed so many great websites!

Here is a really nice example of the technology by Toyota IQ.
