iPod + Yahoo Maps
Another cool mash-up, this time allowing you to use your iPod as an interactive map. Enter your current location and destination online and then get the map on your ‘pod.
US only (of course), but expect that to change. ipodiway.com

31.01.2006 by Zoltan The Beastie Boys
At first glance, the Beastie Boys seem like unlikely candidates for being at the vanguard of ‘open-source marketing’. However, they’ve just released the vocal layers only of all their tracks as downloadable MP3’s.
Why? Quite simply, to make it easier for fans to make their own music (of course). They call it ‘democratization’. Whatever. Thing is, it’s fantastic to see someone not only realising the potential of digital, but having the cojones to actually act on it - profit et al. be dammned. (I guess that’s the benefit of owning your own record label isn’t it?)
They’re also doing the same thing with video.

This is such a simple idea, and beautifully executed to boot. Click the image above to launch. You’ll need Quicktime.

31.01.2006 by Zoltan Banned Xbox 360 Ad
A brilliant ad, with not a screen in sight - it gets right to the heart of gaming = group interaction. Ultimately deemed unsuitable by Microsoft’s lawyers.

My guess is that they’ve used the BulletCam technology from the Matrix, but this may not be true. Anyone know better than I do? Anyway, you’ve seen it before, but see it again…

“BannerBlog started in June 2005 to showcase* online advertising, much of which goes unnoticed. It was also seen as a good opportunity to pimp our own work too!”
This comes courtesy of the crazy kids at Soap in Sydney, with contributors from Glue and Dare in the UK. Enough said.

27.01.2006 by Zoltan Write to your (future) self
Such a simple idea: you choose the date you want to receive it, the system sends you an email - from yourself.
Kinda like a time capsule for the attention-strapped obsessive emailer in all of us. Also far more practical for apartment-dwellers with no backyard in which to dig a hole.

26.01.2006 by Zoltan Welcome
Hi, my name is Zoltan Csaki, and this is my addition to the blogosphere.
I hope you enjoy it.It’ll be an amalgamation of content from various sources, as well as original photos and musings on the future of advertising, design and the creation of identity in an increasingly digital world.
Please comment on anything and everything! Ultimately, I’d like this blog to be a dialogue. Hopefully together we’ll make an interesting resource for designers, art directors and anybody else interested in the visual world in which we live.
