Moodstream

So last night was the big Webby Award debut of Moodstream, our new project with Getty Images. Last night it debuted at the Webby Award Film and Video Awards after party here in New York at the Angel Orenz Foundation down in the LES.

This thing is so awesome. It’s so awesome! You gotta try it.

What is Moodstream? It’s a concepting tool. The modern version of the fireplace. An interactive art piece. TV for the future. It’s a website we created for and with Getty Images to showcase all of their offerings – still, video and sound – and inspire interactive creatives. And it’s really, really fun to use.

Oh, AND, it’s in .NET. I mean, come on. How hard core is that? Anyway mad props to Kim and Mike P and Shelby and Renee.

CNN shirts and The New York Times

Nice writeup in the New York Times today about CNN Shirts, and they name-checked us! Many of our projects have been featured in the Times through the years, but rarely do they actually mention us, so this is an honor!

Plainview Update

Hey all -

Just a quick note to let you know we updated Plainview to fix a few of the bugs you found. You can check for updates, or it should update when you next run the browser.

Also, we didn’t mention this before, but Plainview does have a locked kiosk mode for kiosks. Type Command-/ and enter your password to enter it! We updated the Faq on this one.

Thanks for the comments. We’ll fix things as we find them. Still checking in on the Oracle bug that was reported.
