Indie+Relief →

Garrett Murray: All proceeds made on January 20, 2010 will be donated to Haiti. You get great software, Haiti gets financial help in its time of crisis. Buy any of the software listed tomorrow (Wednesday) and developers will donate the proceeds to charities for Haiti relief.

“What a beautiful, heavenly place you live in, with a very fine maritime museum.”

– Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy complimenting Auckland’s facilites at today’s Big Day Out music festival. But really, where else would he hang out? Crappy video of the gig here.

“Use it to find the photography you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you’ll like. You start with a set of pictures — if you authenticate, it’ll use 20 of your last 100 favorites — otherwise it’ll start with somebody’s favorites. Click any picture to load more.” Great idea, works beautifully. (via Jarred Bishop)

I mentioned Alex Roman’s work a couple of weeks back. Here’s what happens when motion is added to his beautiful stills: everything in The Third & The Seventh was created and animated in 3D software. I can’t fault a single frame. Watch it in HD. Update: Alex has posted that not quite everything is 3D modelled. Elements sourced elsewhere include the photographer (shot on...
