Just enjoy. And think about it.

As Michael @bigspaceship said last week: we’re barely scratching the surface of what games can be – The Graveyard . This work by Freedom Partners is showing one of the paths that will be trailed by interactive the next few years. Remember that teenagers that spent their high school years playing X-box and PS2 are now becoming the workforce and expect to find the same playful experiences on the web.

Oh, and i missed listening to Pearl Jam.

As an extra,  the best Portuguese album in 2008 for Deolinda – Canção ao Lado.

The criteria is totally subjective, based on my listening habits, both online and offline. If you have your own list of best albums of 2008, feel free to share them in the comments.

If you wonder what’s a album list doing in this blog, consider yourself warned: music is a source of inspiration.

  After a fast and furious brainstorm yesterday on Twitter, here’s the full list of The 10 Social Media Commandments:
  1. Thou shall not publish partial RSS feeds.
  2. Don’t follow anyone, before starting to follow Scoble
  3. You shall not use n00bie aliases like pawn3d_1982
  4. Remember to renew your domain every year

  10. I am Google, your Lord …
• I’m finally attending a Sigur Ros concert tonight. For those who couldn’t make it, enjoy their MoMa concert video.
  
• As promised on my latest Alt.Prt.sc videocast (portuguese only), here’s the link to podcast #5 of The Age Of Conversation, where i team with Efrain, Ernie, Mark, Mike, Cam and Angela, trying to sound interesting with sayings like:
  

  We have to realize that most of the jobs that will be here in ten years haven’t been invented. So it’s hard to set up a curriculum for these new kind of creatives.

  Great work on the podcast, Jay.
  RSS readers have to visit the site to listen the audio

Have a great Tuesday.

Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.

Quite appropriately, it was done by a group of friends who work for internet video startups like Vimeo and CollegeHumor. And the girl at the beginning (Amanda) is really cute.

Liked it? Here’s a few more videos:

Digg Dubb: Groove Is In The Heart from Trammell on Vimeo.

and another famous one with Jessica Alba and the iBeatYou team:

More famous people, with the CW‘s Reaper crew

with a few more replies from the USA,

before we head to Europe, starting at my old office:

and jumping to France:

to meet an “American Boy” in Paris:

Down to Italy, with the Diregiovani team.
and up again to Germany:

or Brussels and the StepStone team (great recruiting idea):

A bit more to the East, a Russian agency dubbing Pet Shop Boys.

and crossing the continents to India:

and Australia

ending with one funky Celebration at Guerlain:

As you can see, these videos have become a global phenomena, and there’s a even a company doing “professional” (??) lip dubbing.

UPDATE: When looking for video samples i missed the most obvious place. Which is, as i’ve just found out, http://www.officelipdub.com/

A great idea to boost the creativity and team spirit at the office, so try it yourself and if you happen to have one already, please comment this post and share it with us.

The video was around a few days ago (love the tablet power), on the best infomercial tradition, with the website pushing the corny aesthetics to the limits.

Now i get the video reference to “any time is Kanye time in a absolut world”. The cheesy graphics and flashy rollovers, introduce us to the countdown of what seems a new product launch by Absolut. Of course i’m gettting a few bottles of vodka, and become a totally different person. Like a drunk one.

If you’re a juvenile groupie, with no self esteem and let yourself be amazed by celebrities and their endorsements, this might just work. If not, what a bad move by Absolut and Kanye, pretending that vodka might turn you into a famous person. Or Lindsay Lohan.

Ok, it’s not actually a nerd, but rather N.E.R.D. (standing for No One Ever Really Dies), headed by the small genius Pharrell Williams. He and his team release this June the 10th their new album “Seeing Sounds“, on what promises to be a summer hit. Have yourself some voyeuristic sexy footage for the advance track Everyone Nose … All The Girls Standing In Line For The Bathroom:

So, anyway, they’ve put up the really lascivious promo site Everyone Nose. Lots of booze, hot women and the advance track playing on the background .
On a great partnership with a blog, they plugged in Last Night’s Party and rolled their own party gallery. Or so they thought, since with great fame comes great responsability and (probably) people asked to remove their pictures (altough i still managed to see quite a few).

I guess the Internet is a different party.

The Belgian electronic duo David and Stephen Dewaele, aka magnificent Soulwax, premiered their documentary “Part of the Weekend Never Dies” at the Royal Festival Hall yesterday.

They filmed 120 shows with footage of 2manydj’s, Tiga, Justice, So-Me, Peaches, Kitsuné, Klaxons and tons of other artists. Check the trailers

and enjoy the weekend.
