I have just finished moving herrklein.com from Surftown to Hostgator to save a few bucks by being on the same server as abductionlamp.com.
Please post a comment to let me know if something is not working as it should after changing to a new host.
This brilliant little video should feel very familiar if you are a graphic designer.
And if you are a client and you are tired of “tiny-logo-loving designers”, you can try to order some Make My Logo Bigger Cream today!
Eirik Solheim asked me to provide a list of five favorite blogs after listing herrklein.com as an awesome blog on eirikso.com.The rules are as follows: no community blogs, and they must be written in English. Here are the five blogs that I ended up recommending:
Eirikso.com has been mentioned earlier, otherwise he would surely have been on the list. And I would like to second Eirik’s recommendation of Øyvind Solstad’s brilliantdays (and the Norwegian blog NRKbeta).If we put the rule about listing only non-community blogs aside, there are many others that I would recommend. And without repeating the ones already mentioned elsewhere, here are a few of the community blogs that I subscribe to:
There are of course a lot of great blogs written in other languages than English, and these are some of my favorites:
Since no list is ever complete, I would be very happy for suggestions to other great blogs to add to my subscription list.
Buttons by Sascha Pohflepp is a “camera” without a viewfinder or a lens. Instead of taking a picture as you press the button, it shows you the last image shared by someone else on Flicker.
I think this idea is really great, but also quite disturbing. It should make you think one more time what you can do to personalize an image before taking it.
When I first heard about this camera at Siggraph, I thought the camera was a little more advanced, and that it contained a GPS allowing it to seek out an image taken from the location you are at, at more or less the same time of day in the past.
Take a look at this great demonstration of “attention blindness”
If you like the Alien Abduction Lamp, I am sure you will also like Pixar’s short Lifted. I had a good time watching it at Siggraph’s Electronic Theatre this summer.A high quality version is available from iTunes.
The response to The Alien Abduction Lamp has been overwhelming since I first posted it here two months ago. I have been very busy following up on it since then.
I have received more than a thousand emails from people wanting to buy the lamp. I am afraid there is no way that I will manage to personally reply to all the messages. So I wish to thank all of you who have posted a comment here and on abductionlamp.com for all your enthusiastic remarks and constructive feedback. You are in my database, so I will keep you informed of any major updates (and only that).
If you are interested in the lamp but have not sent me a message yet, please do so at abductionlamp.com to stay updated about the progress on getting the lamp produced. The more messages I get, the greater the chance of the lamp getting produced! You can rest assured that your email address will be kept safe, and that you will not receive any spam from me.
The Alien Abduction Lamp appeared in hundreds of blogs in the first few days after I published it. I wish to thank all the bloggers who have written so many positive responses to the lamp!
The lamp has also been featured in printed press around the world, including La Repubblica in Italy, Il Mundo in Spain, WENN and Wizard in America, and Sydney Morning Herald, The Courier Mail and Penthouse in Australia. And FHM is featuring the lamp in their October issue, so make sure you grab a copy.
If you know of any other magazines or papers that have printed a story on the lamp, please let me know by commenting on this article.
I am currently doing my best to get the lamp produced, but it is still too early to say anything about the progress. Again – sign up at abductionlamp.com to stay informed!
