Fantastic presentation and argument on the next step for true gamification experiences and how they must evolve. Insightful.

(best if you watch it full screen btw - it’s the little button in the right hand corner)

Lurv this. I think all cities need moar of this.

Also, love the leap of faith while the oblivious passerbys walk over the chasm.

So impressed with the black and white art and aesthetic on this game video. Sadly, thought it was an iPad game but is only on the XBox Live Arcade. Sad panda. Just look at it though. Really.

Anyone played it? Really need to get myself some consoles at the house to keep up on these things.

Just yesterday was talking with someone about how important injecting humour into the Canadian political debate was now. For example, the tongue-in-cheek political pressure ads prevalent in Australia (and prevalent from my last gig at GetUp) are great examples. Love this ad the Cancer Council in Victoria piut out for plain packaging on ciggies taking off of a product recall announcement.

Cool short by Chris Abbass set to music constructed from images of the Cassini mission.

If you’re interested, there’s more info on the ongoing Cassini Solstice mission .

Frightening infographic from the always poignant Information is Beautiful on the effect overfishing has had in the last hundred years .

And a fantastic point about the phenomenon of “shifting environment baselines”. Find it’s probably as true of the sea as land based issues like climate and air quality.

Forgot to mention it, but Amnesty International hit their 50 year mark.

Despite my issues with how it is run, they are an incredible organization that does essential work preventing torture, freeing political prisoners, working to abolish the death penalty and making sure the human rights of all peoples are respected. They deserve your support . The world was a much darker place 50 years ago before their candle. Happy Birthday Amnesty.
