Locals and Tourists - a new kind of maps on/by Flickr from Eric Fischer
"Some people interpreted the Geotaggers' World Atlas maps to be maps of tourism. This set is an attempt to figure out if that is really true. Some cities (for example Las Vegas and Venice) do seem to be photographed almost entirely by tourists. Others seem to have many pictures taken in piaces that tourists don't visit. ..."
Blue - locals
Red - tourists
Yellow - unknown

IDEO | BBVA - a short video about the future of the ATM
In early 2007 the Spanish bank BBVA asked IDEO Munich to re-think their self-service channel from scratch. The question was not how to further automate the teller, but rather how to humanize the machine. ...
The result of that work is the vision for a totally new self-service experience: an ATM built from user up, rather than components down. ...
Today, that vision is reality. It took 2 years of time and a team of committed companies to develop this ATM.

IDEO Labs » Bluetooth Classic / by Coulter Lewis
"... Although it was produced for 30+ years and in quantities of millions, this handset is now a relic. My eight year old nephew has never seen it before. Technology has progressed and phones are now designed to facilitate ever increasing levels of functionality. As is often the case, with all that is gained, something is lost.
...
The next revision will employ an accelerometer to allow the user to answer a call by simply picking up the phone, further emulating the original experience. ..."

#HackFwd for Lars Hinrichs - Case Studies - proud work of #IDEO
A very exciting project we have been working on in Europe over the last half year:
"Lars came up with the idea for an early-stage, pre-seed, evergreen investment company for top technology talents across Europe. His vision: free the best developers and coders from their day jobs and help them build their own game-changing companies. He also wanted to unleash European talents, to enable European innovation to go global.
He tapped into IDEO to turn his vision into reality and help him design the business from scratch. ..."
Congratulations to Lars and the impressive team!

Mandelbulb: The Unravelling of the Real 3D Mandelbrot Fractal / just beautiful!
for us visual geeks: "... The original Mandelbrot is an amazing object that has captured the public's imagination for 30 years with its cascading patterns and hypnotically colourful detail. .... It's found by following a relatively simple math formula. But in the end, it's still only 2D and flat - there's no depth, shadows, perspective, or light sourcing. What we have... is a potential 3D version of the same fractal. ..."

Humanize tech: Automatic Napkin Sketching of Maps by Bing Destination Map
we're getting there!
via infosthetics.com: "... Bing Destination Maps [bing.com] seems quite interesting as a new way of rendering geographical maps in a more visually simplified, understandable and accessible way. In other words, imagine one can now create a sort of information-optimized summary maps, similar to those you would quickly draw yourself on the back of napkin. ..."
The funniest story in the world - makes your day, promised.
Thank you, thank you @spreeblick: "Listen to her story for two minutes and your day is saved..."
