Khoi Vinh: On the Grid | The Color Machine

We sat down with Khoi Vinh, former Design Director of NYTimes.com, to discuss the subject that has made his work most noteworthy: the grid. And in his case, the “g” almost deserves to be capitalized. The result is an illuminating conversation about Khoi’s plans for the future, first interest in the field of design, and even the grid’s complex relationship with emotion.

Color Machine collaborators Jordan Alport and Raafi Rivero produced this piece, which was directed by Raafi. The interview was filmed at our Brooklyn studio, while the many grid-like structures of New York City serve as visual proxy for grids on the web and everywhere else.

Sending off Jacque

Today is a beautiful morning in Tsukuba. 

I woke up earlier than ever before, 6:30am. There is a reason I woke up these early, but I wasn't looking forward what I have to do next. 
It's the time, I need to say goodbye to one of my friend from Brazil. She been here almost as long as I am, my Tsukuba life had always a place for her.
Now, she might on a 30 hours journey back home. 

I might never see her again, the distance is just to great for us. Or it will take 10+ years before we met again. 

It is so sad that I might never see her again. 

Waving goodbye, tears holding up, lips bitting. This is IT. 

I know I will be able to facebook her easily, hearing from her anytime. But it is different.

I might not be able to see her again. The feeling of losing a friend just so strong. 

I will be missing you, Jacque

The identity of Vancouver’s famous kissing couple is revealed

Photograph make moment forever.

via Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports by 'Duk on 6/17/11

In the age of Facebook and Twitter, it was only a matter of time before the world learned the identities of the kissing couple from that now-iconic photo of the Vancouver riots.

About 24 hours after photos of the smooch was passed on through emails, IMs and blog posts, the Toronto Star and the CBC are reporting that the boyfriend and girlfriend in the photograph are Aussie bartender Scott Jones and Canadian college student Alex Thomas, who was injured just before the picture was taken.

The papers report that Jones and Thomas have been dating since Jones arrived in Vancouver on a "working holiday." They attended Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, which the hometown Canucks lost 4-0 to the Boston Bruins, and then somehow found themselves between the angry rioters and charging riot police later that night in downtown Vancouver.

The famous aftermath, as captured by Getty Images photographer Rich Lam:

The identity of Vancouver’s famous kissing couple is revealed

So how were Jones and Thomas ultimately identified as the unlikely "make love, not war" couple of Vancouver's embarrassing night of injury and destruction?

It probably won't surprise you to learn that Facebook was involved.

Though Scott's sister Hannah first identified her brother to an Australian news network, things really started taking off when  Brett Jones, Scott's father, posted the following update on his Facebook profile on Friday morning from the family's home in Perth, Australia.

(Note the funny response from Scott's brother, Ryan.)

The identity of Vancouver’s famous kissing couple is revealed

Brett Jones now says the couple is being besieged by media requests from outlets around the world. All, of course, are interested in knowing the circumstances that found the couple smooching as cars were burned and windows were smashed around them.

But despite some of our initial assumptions, the kiss seen 'round the world wasn't the product of a riot-fueled, uncontrollable passion. Brett Jones instead notes that Thomas was injured and his son was coming to her aid. An alternate angle taken from above shows other bystanders later attempting to help Thomas and Jones.

Combine that different angle with Brett Jones' story and it certainly dispels the rumors that the couple had intentionally staged the photo.

"They were between the riot police and the rioters, and the riot police were actually charging forward, and Alex got knocked by a [police] shield and fell to the ground," Brett Jones told CBC News. "[Scott] was comforting her and gave her a kiss to say, 'It's going to be OK,' and the photographer just took the shot at that moment."

Jones' mother Marie said she immediately knew it was her son in the picture because "he doesn't have a lot of clothes with him and he always puts on the same thing."

So where do they go from here? The good news is that Jones escaped the incident unhurt and Thomas only suffered a bruised leg. The bad news is that Jones is scheduled to leave Canada soon and head home for Australia after a trip to California. The Jones family says that Thomas plans to visit California with their son but that the couple's future after that is uncertain.

UPDATE: Jones and Thomas spoke with the Toronto Star:

Thomas said this morning that everything happened so fast that there was just massive confusion all around. "I was trying to understand what was going on. The photo was definitely not something we expected to happen," said Thomas.

The couple is leaving in three days on a trip to California, before Scott heads back to Australia. Thomas said the response from her friends and family has been overwhelming.

"When I saw that picture I couldn't believe it and then I looked at it more and realize it's quite artistic and really something beautiful."

IBM Software Executive Briefing Center | Iosa Ghini Associati

via plusMOOD by Jimmy M. on 5/23/11

I tried to configure a place conceived as a new agora, capable of encouraging and stimulating productive discussion, in a dimension of communication that gets away from traditional parameters, making virtual interface scenarios the protagonists.

Massimo Iosa Ghini

IBM Software Executive Briefing Center in Rome has been entirely renovated and has significantly expanded its area. The entire project, designed by Massimo Iosa Ghini and his studio, elaborates the famous “strips” of the IBM logo in an innovative and fascinating way.

Audiovisual advanced technologies have been carefully selected to provide guests, a comfortable and high value-added experience.

The new Software Executive Briefing Center in Rome is located within the same structure that hosts the international laboratory for the development of the IBM Software Group and provides all the tools to explore IBM’s technology and its innovative solutions in one new and exciting atmosphere.

The IBM Software Executive Briefing Program is designed to provide professionally managed events and to maximize the value of time that customers spend in IBM. Any “briefing” usually includes presentations and demonstrations to bring customers to run events which they participate. Listening, discussing and illustrating how the new IBM technologies can be helpful in facing and resolving technical and business issues, make people away from the traditional concept of communication, to get closer to a place of useful comparison: a new agora.
