Hubero Kororo designed this interactive CD cover for the band Uceroz. When you open the CD packaging on the side, ink is set free and bleeds into the cover, creating a unique cover for each CD. Really nice.

Discovered a new framework for creating creative and dynamic solutions a la processing via Fabio. If you're into illustration or just into to creating some very cool looking flash works of art - I'd say the HYPE actionscript framework is for you.

Coolest CD case I've ever seen, I might just buy it, though it is a bit expensive at 50$/31£ for US delivery and 60$/37£ for international deliver. But you can get a "Pocket" version for around 21£ international delivery. This is how you sell physical CDs. And the music is pretty good as well!

 You can buy the Moldov CD here.

Wow - this looks pretty awesome.

"Can you tell what it is yet?"

I was very excited to find out that a trip to the Kent coast coincided with the launch of test runs of the new service linking St Pancras with the Kent coast.  The High Speed One line was built to carry Eurostar in super fast times to Paris but, unlike on the French side, you were not allowed to board in London and get off in the same country which meant the only option was the super slow local service.  The new line is something to be truely excited about as it's the first line to be built in the UK in... well ages.  All investment usually goes into boring safety upgrades so it's nice to see something like this going ahead to finally bring Britain into the 21st century.  I won't go on about this but France, Spain, Japan and China have been investing in super high speed trains for ages and their benefits are clear. Anyway here's the link to high speed one:

 Anyway - about the journey - i filmed the whole 37 mins from London to Ashford but I won't put that here..

Quick first impressions: 

• it's going to cost a bit more, but not loads - I paid a 4.40 surcharge on the 29 quid journey. 
  
• The new platforms are lovely at St Pancras. 
  
• You can feel the G-forces when accelerating and the leaning when turning in these Japanese trains (Hitachi). 
  
• 20% of the journey is in tunnels as you exit London and as you go under the Thames near Dartford.  
• We did make it to the olympic site in 9 mins as promised by the government
  
• The interior of the train feels cheap and rattles a bit. 
  
• A can of beer makes the journey very enjoyable.
• High speed trains are the future of UK travel

This is what I really want though: roll on ultra speed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Ultraspeed

Lovely piece of industrial design…

"Generally trees are pretty comfortable to sit in. They are made that way for monkeys. Monkeys sit in trees and just hang out because trees were made for monkeys to hang out in. Because we humans were never meant to climb tall trees to sit in, the seat portion of the tree is generally higher than most people can reach. That’s where this chair comes in!"
