As Camp Sisco was in session, The Birds, their friends and I went off to karaoke at Second on Second (Second Street, Second Avenue in the East Village). Aptly-named, this is our second choice for a hot spot for warbling as the drinks are easily 2x the cost that they are at The Carriage House, the denizens less amiable/eclectic, the seating options more limited and the songs aren’t free.

Flash File Uploader v3.11 – Details Bugfix

Due to old code in the the index.php file, the details checkbox wasn’t displaying file information and thumbnails for file lists in custom directories. This has been fixed and re-uploaded in a new .rar file of this project. The link is the same as the last one.
Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance and to [d]online commenter, TimD, for pointing this to my attention.
Complete FLA, PHP and file structure source files with options for Custom Directories and File Name Rewrite (with bugfix).
Musikal Chairs Launched

Radiohead’s House of Cards video
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.
Go to: http://code.google.com/radiohead to find additional pieces of data to create your own visualizations.
The Boys and the Subway
I came across these really wonderful illustrations (created by Christoph Niemann) by chance and thought you might enjoy them too.

BBH and the sheep
The ad giant BBH (http://www.bartleboglehegarty.com/) just launched a new site. They’ve always been on the cutting edge of clean, unique and fun web design. Their new site, though dizzying, incorporates a cute little interactive sheep which I found similar to our Lyrek, Inc‘s (http://www.lyrek.net) seaters. It’s worth a few minutes to check out if you have some downtime on this overcast Friday.
