[La Blogotheque #41 - Arcade Fire - Neon Bible & Wake Up]
Looking at the evolution of online video since broadband Internet became more of a standard than a luxury, much has happened in terms of presentation and usability. French filmmaker Vincent Moon is founder and director of La Blogotheque, a showcase of his “Take Away” shows. These are weekly videos of an invited artist or band playing several live songs, often filmed in random places around Paris. Watch the Arcade Fire video above.
Vincent Moon’s latest venture is a website called “Temporary Areas,” where some of his content is presented through Flash in a full-screen map. Designed by dzlv studio, the website doesn’t follow the traditional website form, but is more of an art installation experience. He calls it a “map of streams,” which is appropriate to the viewing experience.
Catch Gary Vaynerchuk’s keynote speech from the Web 2.0 Expo. He discusses success and happiness in life and business, and how to connect to your audience.
If you enjoy him here, check out his show Wine Library TV. His energy and enthusiasm in infectious!
I’ve been searching for a great web host for quite a while now. After the GoDaddy fiasco, I vowed to do as much research as possible to discover a simple and (more importantly) reliable service. Dreamhost has been fantastic, allowing me to focus on creating content rather than solving technical nightmares.
Use the special promo code “KWWPHOTO” when signing up with Dreamhost, and you’ll get:
Designer Niki Brown has an interesting data visualization and CSS experiment online called Bananas & Coffee. Quite a unique way to present a set of otherwise unexciting data…something to keep clients on their toes!

I was browsing the strobist.com flickr group before going to bed last Friday night, and I came upon a bizarre and brief contest of sorts. Someone had “sponsored” someone to write a Speedlite kit review–the person with the 18th comment on the thread gets to write the review, and then kit is complimentary.
I got into a “bidding war” with another photographer, an attempt to keep count in the actual comment failed and I ended up winning by a 50/50 chance. Check it out here: [link]
What an interesting idea to engage the community. So much better than more traditional ways of building a brand. Check back in a week or two and I’ll let you know what happens…
Are you curious about Adobe CS4? Check out this free 70-page superguide, published by Creative Studio (CAFE). It always seems like Adobe makes their Creative Suite software as polished as possible, yet every 18 months they release a new version that always surprises and delights.

Watch this reel produced and featuring production company Shilo. Almost surreal, their work–especially their “about us” reel with stills posted here–shows a deeper, emotional connection with their content. The cinematography and editing encourage this jaw-dropping work.
Check out the work of German photographer Martin Klimas. The entire high-speed photography series is gorgeous, and little eerie. Makes me want to try my own!
If you have a Netflix account, then you know what it’s all about. If you don’t, please reconsider subscribing if you love movies, or just easy to access video content. However, not even every Netflix subscriber may be taking full advantage of their accounts.
Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ works best when you have a large flat panel monitor, or have your computer connected to your TV/entertainment system. Like Hulu.com, but without commercials and more studios/networks backing the content. Top videos include: Heroes, 30 Rock, The Office, Ratatouille, Superbad, Spiderman, Illusionist, etc. And now, an additional 8.21% of the market–Mac users–can enjoy their favorite entertainment content too. Check it out!
