plasticbag : The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is looking for a Sr. Interaction Designer - You have to be a temple-worthy church going and have five years web experience. That might be limiting the field a bit, so I thought I'd give them a hand. Thanks to Matt Jones for showing me the path.

plasticbag : Etsy's browse by colour interface is extremely entertaining and playful - Increasingly I think the nature of successfully exploring data on the internet is simply identifying your first order elements and then joining them together with absolutely any plausible data whatsoever...

cobra libre : ambient widgets - he's already written a widget that piles your dashboard with crap as your trash fills up #
plasticbag : Andrew Otwell's thoughts on Dashboard mirror a lot of the things that I've been thinking about (and talking about to Adam Greenfield) - It's a perfect environment for prototyping ambient informational devices around the home - like the orb that we were playing with a while back...

plasticbag : Foot-based mobile interaction with games - Intriguing one this, and really up there in the embodied interaction stakes I guess. Putting bits of yourself into the game. Blurring digital and real. Intriguing.

jkottke : Mouseradio doesn't have any buttons or knobs - Tip the speaker end up to turn it on and slide it around to control the volume and tuning.
plasticbag : The mouseradio is a fully functioning radio without buttons. The idea was to use the mouse navigation and to implement it in a radio. - "Moving the radio vertically changes the volume, moving the radio on the horizontal axis changes the frequency. The radio is on, when the black speaker points up in the air."
cameron : Mouseradio: buttonless radio - I like the dramatic pauses in the video

Andy Baio : Blendie, the scream-controlled blender - also: ScreamBody, the wearable scream recorder [via] [via]
plasticbag : Kelly Dobson's Blendie - as mentioned in Tim O'Reilly's keynote at ETech 2006 - The Blender's speed and power is controlled by the pitch of the noise you make at it. The woman's noises sound a lot like my colleague Simon Willison when he's in a funny mood.

plasticbag : An interesting article on a dream cocoa client for del.icio.us - So this is a bit of a follow-up to a post I did a while back on tag-based bookmarks in safari which has had some interesting feedback. This article has some of the most interesting ideas that I've seen, and I'm definitely going to be thinking around this

Andy Baio : iPod Photo - 60 GB of music and photo storage for $600, plus AV out [via] [via]
Ethan Marcotte : iPod Photo - 60GB of music and...photo storage? At any rate, the display's lookin' sexy.
jkottke : iPod Photo turns your iPod into a portable photo gallery thingie - Conceivably you could do crude movies with them...play an mp3 soundtrack as you scroll slowly through the frames of the "film". (Comment on this)
Rod Begbie : Apple - iPod Photo - Is is just me, or does the photo-browsing seem to be tacked-on as an excuse to do a nice colour anti-aliased screen on an iPod? #
plasticbag : Apple release the iPod Photo - And I have to confess that I'm slightly non-plussed by it. I mean it's nice and everything (presumably the switch to Myriad as the font is a consequence of having a better screen that can handle anti-alliasing) but it's just a bit, well, odd...

Kayode Okeyode : Semantic Web is a Program
plasticbag : Richard MacManus reposts comments by Tim Berners-Lee on the Semantic Web - "The Semantic Web is just the application of weblike design to data; it will be many more decades before we will be able to say we have really implemented the Web idea in the full, if ever we can."
