One of the cooler home projects I’ve seen in a while coming from the Mind of Magnus, posted to his Twitter and Instagram feeds. Magnus put together a short sketch/cut-out on a Post-It® note celebrating the gifts outlined in ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas.’ Some truly impressive work here
Tom Jenkins presents this very well put together stop-motion short film made using Google Street View and the sounds of Cinematic Orchestra.

Developer Loud Crow Interactive has created this adaptation of the timeless “A Charlie Brown Christmas” special in an iPad friendly format. Impressed with conventional books on the iPad, and the well accepted quality of iPad video, I’ll definitely pick this up for myself. Say what you will about Christmas hype – I’ll always love watching this, and the animated Frosty The Snowman Christmas special.
A short bump promoting the app is below

This one has been making the rounds lately, and it has been a while since my last update – I felt something a little more light-hearted would be a good segue back into some new content.
Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by Ron Garan, Satoshi Furukawa and the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km. All credit goes to them.
The most fun I’ve had working for any company was during my time with Apple, Inc. Thanks Steve, for the culture you created there – and the inspiration you leave behind.
In space, nobody can hear you scream – however radio transmissions seem to work fine. Sample nerds get ready because yesterday NASA launched ‘NASA Sounds‘ a new section of their multimedia page featuring downloadable content in mp3 as well as ringtones for iPhone and Android based smartphones.
The sections are broken up into sounds from Shuttles / Stations, Apollo missions, and a section of what they describe as ‘beeps and bytes’ so there is clearly plenty here for the producers, sound designers, or the run of the mill space geek.
A new art installation now on display in France is utilizing 60,000 compact discs sewn together to create a physical landscape spanning 500 sq. meters or 5381 sq. ft for the metrically challenged.
The installation remains on display at Paris’ 104 Centquatre gallery at Halle d’Aubervilliers, through September. Assuming you cannot make it before then, feel free to enjoy it through the video below
