For some reason I missed this:
I haven’t even installed Chrome on my computer, so I’m not exactly a Chrome fan. I have seen it in action on my colleague’s computer and it looked interesting, but I didn’t post this link to promote Chrome, but simply because I like Scott McClouds stuff. What stuff?

Understanding Comics e.g. …

Or just read the Chrome Comic. The first comic about classes and virtual machines

Hmm a proposito Google, I guess resistance is futile. I’ve been working with Google’s Android platform for a couple of weeks now and it is awesome

…is German for Rock Paper Shotgun which is a great blog about games which I recently discovered and started to read on a daily basis. I just added it to my blogroll.

RPS is also where I learned about Gravitron 2, a great old-schoolish game. It is kinda hardware-hungry, though. While it runs fine on my laptop, but is really not playable on my work PC, but I guess that’s how it should be

The full version is only $5 ( that’s probably about 1€ at this point *grrr* ) , so head over there and buy it.

Come on guys, a beer will maybe give you about 1 hour of fun – this game a lot more!

Da kommt mir doch gerade so ein Gedanke… Es müsste eigentlich Stein, Papier, Schere heissen. Und dann müsste der Titel dieses Blogposts “Stein, Papier, Schrotflinte” heissen.

Aber: Johannes 19:20

… or do you?

I stumbled across the online version of YDKJ before and it brought be back about 10 years and from English back to German. I remember the German speaker having a slightly higher pitch and being a LOT more annoying than his American counterpart. I really really like this game and I think its remarkable that the Flash version is still very similar to the CD-ROM version.

The presentation of YDKJ is a great example of the beauty of simplicity and how contstaints are a lot of the time beneficial for a work of art. I still like the animated typography in the game. Works great in Flash, too.

Ok, this is about 2 years old but I just found this and I think it’s an amazing idea:

Payphone warriors!

… also in politics. Just found a cute post article in the NYTimes about the logo design for presidential candidates . Head over to the NYTimes.

Jaja schon klar, typisch Designer ist:

- visuelle Exzellenz

- black is beautiful

- Moleskinmanie

- Typofaschismus

…

Typisch Designer ist aber eben auch :

- Fullscreen-Flash Sites ohne HTML-Alternative.

- Aufforderung zum Email-Feedback ohne Link ( Oder bin ich einfach zu doof…?)

- bewegte Flash-Elemente sind wichtiger als Usability.

- Leider keinen PDF-Direktlink, um das Ding in der angemessenen Print-Auflösung laden zu können…

… denn die Diplomarbeit sieht ja ganz hübsch aus
