Best CD cover ever

Monday, 25 January, 2010

Several times today this beautiful CD cover appeared in my reader and several times I read something about an “interactive” CD cover. The fact that you can trigger this (albeit amazing) effect only one single time upon opening, makes this sleeve just about as interactive as a firecracker, nevertheless I remembered what I intendet to post already a while ago. I do have a real interactive CD cover lying around here at home.
The CD cover of the Awesome Edition of Moldovers album of the same title is itself a musical instrument namely a theremin. At the moment you’ll have to settle with the video above, but maybe I’ll post a performance of myself here later.
The album can be ordered in the shop on Moldover’s website.

Readability

Wednesday, 13 January, 2010

Readability is a simple tool that makes reading on the Web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you’re reading.
1. Choose your desired style and font size
2. Save the bookmarklet
3. Click on the bookmarklet whenever you want to make the page you’re on more readable

They call it an experiment, I think it’s an absolutely convincing and truely helpful tool.
