A group from Germany called Lichtfaktor captures crazy photos in the dark using long exposure with light to paint over the images. They have some great pieces, and credit to my co-workers Ben Watts & Meghan Gough at 76design who introduced me to their work and technique. Ben Watts posted some cool Lichtfaktor inspired photos on Friday, so Bex and I were dying to try. Tonight I think we got some pretty neat results.
A few more of are posted here on flickr.
People are excited about the web for different reasons. Some people are excited by the social interaction, some simply for e-commerce, others are drawn in by exciting design, and then there are those of us who are in to the technology which brings it all together. I admit it, I am a geek, and I am very interested in the latter. Well, lucky for me that digg.com has started a technology category on their blog where Joe Stump and other’s give you a behind the scenes look at the technology behind digg.com.
This is not just your run of the mill LAMP installation. A distributed computing dream, I would love to have this type of hardware to play with. Or better yet, google’s hardware to play with.
I was fortunate enough to catch a tweet about the live.37signals.com webcast, and I after catching the last 30 minutes and was impressed. These guys have solid web dev & business philosophy (but we all knew that), and they hand out some great advice. Inspiring for designers, developers, programmers & entrepreneurs.

Our short summer is drawing to a close, but on the bright side Demo Camp Ottawa is back on September 29, 2008. I can’t wait to see what everyone has been up to over the summer and catch up over a frosty pint. Space is limited, so be sure to pre-register. Also, check out the site for the roster of demos.
