Insane, Crazy and flat out cool

So, you know how fast the whole "web" thing is moving but just feel like you haven't had the time to stay on top of the latest, craziest, innovative uses of all the technology and creative thinking out there? Well, Google to the rescue once again!!!

The fine folks in Mountain View have taken the time from the Lab to put together the 87 coolest things that folks have done with access to the latest & greatest API's, clever thinking and flat out smarts to put together. The fact is that at this stage there is almost no limit to what can be done. That's not to say there aren't bad ideas out there... I mean, just because you can do it doesn't make it good, interesting or well, right. However, have no fear with this presentation from Google. After watching several times I'd have to say there is very little here that isn't worth checking out. It just might take you awhile. Oh, and don't forget... there's nothing stopping you (or us!) from being the 88th thing that could get added to the list.

So BE CREATIVE!!!!

QR codes hidden in video

Very sweet indeed. Remeber the Pet Shop Boys? Well they are getting some buzz again with their new video and the hidden QR codes within. For us Yanks, QR codes are bar codes that contain digital information and can be read by cell phones. (For now, just european cell phones) Driving those who scan the codes to different urls online. Pretty nifty.

check out the hidden codes:
