The embedded video doesn’t work (as you need the related videos bit), so you’ll have to click through to play. It’s an interesting use of ‘responses’ as a way to create an adventure, add interactivity and enable the viewer to decide what happens next.

I like things that are a ‘craze’, maybe this might be one.

Or not.

Like The Day Today, only American, probably not as smart and some time later.

“Having grown fat and lazy myself since the release of Grand Theft Auto (couch time so far: 73 hours, 14 minutes) I’ve decided to join the three million Americans who Nintendo will whip into shape. I unpack Wii Fit, which consists of a Wii game and a scale that will probably be used to measure how fat I am.”

The daily musings of Tom Chick (editor of Fidgit), as he battles the urge to play more GTA, in an attempt to prove the validity of the ‘Fit’ element of Wii Fit.

Good luck Tom.

Jive is a range of ‘devices’ that you can buy for your grandparents. Apparently acting much like a ‘social network’, these products are seemingly responsible for keeping old people up to date, and enabling them to stay in touch with you.

Lucky them. How thoughtful of you to buy them some irrelevant technology, rather than actually popping round or phoning them up.

You selfish bastard.

DScratch is an audio manipulation software that enables you to play with a .wav audio sample, a recorded audio sample or even audio streaming from DS’s embedded mic; you can pitch, scratch, rewind, mute and apply effects.

DScratch can also send MIDI through a wifi connection, enabling you to control external applications, like a VJing or audio sequencer.

Here you’ll be mostly looking at touchscreens that simulate the decks on a more conventional DJ style system. This dudes goal in making the ATTIGO was to create equipment that would allow DJs to play MP3 the same way they would play old skool rekka’s.

Nice.

SpotCrime is a mashup that plots criminal activity onto Google Maps. The site has been around for a few months now and they’ve just introduced an iPhone version. Enabling the middle class to ‘contextually’ shy away from hives of scum and villainy.

Crimes are tagged with icons that relate to the type of incident, clicking said icons presents the user with more detailed information (when available). The site/s currently only support a select number of cities, but apparently that it is expanding.

“The launch of Google News on Google Earth is a milestone in the evolution of the geobrowser. By spatially locating the Google News’ constantly updating index of stories from more than 4,500 news sources, Google Earth now shows an ever-changing world of human activity as chronicled by reporters worldwide. Zoom into areas of personal interest and peruse headlines of national, regional and, when fully zoomed in, even the most local of interest. From school menus to global warming, there is now literally a world of information at your fingertips.”

So there.
