Hotel 626 10/13/2008
 

Hotel 626 is clever online puzzle game presented by Doritos just in time for Halloween. You can only enter Hotel 626 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (though you can change your computer’s clock if you want to cheat the system), and you’re not allowed to exit until you have gone on a harrowing journey through the haunted hotel. If you have a webcam and microphone you can enhance the experience,  you can also skip sections if you get stuck. Have fun, but keep in mind this may be too frightening for younger children.


 
 

 Keith Loutit a Sydney, Australia-based photographer created a few very interesting tilt-shifted time-lapse short films. These short film clips give the viewer the impression that these are scenes of small models...very interesting and fun to view. " You can see more of his films on the Keith Loutit Vimeo page. Dave Allen is another creative person who used the tilt-shift lens filter in Photoshop to create a time-lapse video of three days  at the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.


 
Wind Sculptures 08/26/2008
 

Very clever medium to illustrate the life & death of an endangered species. Ogilvy New York was commissioned by the Environmental Defense Fund to bring attention to their cause and taking it to the streets, creatively done.


 
 

Giving new meaning to the word Typeface, Jeremy Mayer brings new life back to old typewriters using the parts to build interesting human and animal sculptures. In my opinion definitely worth a look. BTW: I often see old typewriters sell for a buck or 2 at auction...inspired anyone?


 
 

A well done PSA (Public Service Announcement) video created by an Aussie agency (Colman Rasic Carrasco ) for MTV Exit Foundation & Radiohead. The song is Radiohead's "All I need".


 
 

Well, I know I am. This dangerous walk is located in El Caminito del Rey, Malaga, Spain. Built in 1901, construction of the walkway lasted four years. In 1921, King Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name. Unfortunately, as you'll see, it hasn't been maintained for many years.


 
 

A house designed to challenge the inhabitants to be healthy in mind and body. For Arakawa, 71, an artist who designed Bioscleave House with his wife, Madeline Gins, the structure, floor and environment are not meant to be comfortable but more of a daily test of balance.  Don't forget to sign a waiver before entering.
