Deadvlei – the perfect place to get away from it all
Posted on 30. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
If you’ve ever been to the Northern Cape and Namibia you’ll know that there isn’t a lot there. But that’s what makes it one of the coolest places on earth.
Here are a few pics from the last time we were there:

Hamburg’s No.1 tourist destination is a toy city
Posted on 30. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
People are flocking to Hamburg Germany not to drink large quantities of fine beer, eat sausage nor gawk at prostitutes that sit on chairs in windows, but to have a look at the world’s largest model train set.
Weird as it may seem, people love to experience fake make-believe cities. That’s why places like Vegas, Disneyland and Canal Walk also seem to do very well.
The New Seven Wonders of the Natural world….phah! We’re all six year-old kids stuck in the bodies of adults.
Interactive 3D projection mapping on an iPad
Posted on 29. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
This application may appear a bit of an overkill for this demonstration, but the potential for using this kind of technology for other displays that could do with some touchy-feely is astounding.
It’s very acceptable indeed.
Extreme track skateboarding

We’re convinced that this will be a film insert in an upcoming episode of Top Gear. This guy versus a Subaru on some warehouse complex circuit nearby driven by Ken Block.
Nando’s takes aim at dictators
Posted on 25. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
What would the world be without dictators? That’s a scenario you’ll never have to worry about, because dictators in 2011 are just changing their stripes. Where once they looked like Presidents of countries they are now heads of central banks and global corporations. The last dictator? No. The last dictator to be individually recognised of as a tyrant – yes. Dictators these days have become a lot more anonymous and powerful.
Disney’s Times Square illusion
Posted on 24. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
While thousands battle pepper-spraying police and icy weather as part of the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York – movement members are lucky enjoy to take a bit of time off in Times Square with a new Augmented Reality billboard courtesy of the good folks at Disney. Stand in the designated area and Pluto, Mickey and the whole gang magically interact and play with you. Next instalment may even include Lt John Pike with his infamous red canister and a fresh supply of OC gas. Such fun. Soon there won’t be a person on the planet that has enjoyed the cooling effects of having this crap sprayed in their faces.
Justin Bieber / Macy’s ad sums up everything that is wrong with the world today
Posted on 24. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
You know, Mick Jagger is one ugly motherf*&^%$, but at least we can see how he would have some kind of street sex appeal – unlike Justin Bieber who’s popularity appeal remains a complete mystery. Perhaps this is a direct and sad result of the fluoride that we have in the drinking water, or radiation for that nuclear power station in Japan. So yeah – Black Friday in America is a day dedicated to consumerism. Black Tuesday in South Africa is a day dedicated to totalitarianism.
Saks Fifth Avenue 3D projection mapping
Posted on 23. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City have begun their annual 3D projection mapping project – and this is their 2011 instalment.
It’s an impressive production for a store that find itself in the midst of a recession in America. Then again…recession in America? What recession in America.
Puma’s Mar Mostro out of the first leg of the Volvo Ocean Race
Posted on 22. Nov, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
We’re bitterly disappointed to hear that Team Puma are out of the first leg of the Volvo Ocean Race to Cape Town thanks to a bust mast.
