StreetArt. Though my eyes.

Inspired by Streetsy: 40+ Street artists You Should Know Besides Banksy, I sieved through 1,761 photos taken during Fall 2007, to put together this set of streetart pics that I took in Europe. I might not know the names of the artists, but their artworks sure made the streets and allies of the cities I'd been to, come alive and a lot more memorable.



Here's StreetArt in Europe, through my eyes.

Twistori



I came across twistori today and it's really cool! Essentially, it captures the emotions going around the twittersphere via the key words: love, hate, think, believe, feel & wish. Mac users can even get it as a wallpaper. Such mashups are what make twitter and web 2.0 so addictive and fun!

I'm a MAC but these PC ads ain't too bad.

I got to say that this new series of re-branding ads from Microsoft is pretty good. They try hard to change people's stereotype that all the cool funky people are in the MacWorld (which is true), and the rest of the world are PC. Well of course this is NOT going to make me ever want to go back to being a PC, but I think from the branding perspective this is good effort. One would think it would be such a tough job retaliating against those really funny & cool I'm a Mac/I'm a PC ads, but hey, this is not too bad, PC.

MAC + Purple. The 2 things I love now.

I don't usually drink coffee, and the day I did a couple of days back, I spilled it over my tablet PC. That marks the end of my relationship with Windows and I'm embracing the MacWorld with lots of joy and excitement. It's awesome that the SMU Mac community is so friendly and helpful and it took me nothing to configure everything.

FYI Purple is my favorite color, for some reasons. That is why I have to say that when Yahoo starts bleeding purple, I'm really happy. Check out Yahoo's Start Wearing Purple campaign.

Being your web life together with Swurl.



Swurl is totally web 3.0 material. Started by 2 guys in San Diego, it is the place to bring all the things you do online together to share in a blog-like format. There's tons of such mashups popping out and I love it! I especially love the timeline where they aggregate all your web activities (Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Facebook, Youtube, Last.fm, to name a few) together into a nice visual platform. Check out mine @ lifeofpei.swurl.com !
