How very creative. This is very fluid and cool.

Anyone have the video somewhere other than Youtube? it's banned here in Turkey and I can't wait until we get home (next month) to watch it!!

According to Ross, they used about 1030 individual pictures in the final version. Stop motion is a lot of work :)

That's priceless. Great job, guys.

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

I think they need to make a full stop-motion version of the Matrix in legos. Now THAT would be awesome. I wonder what bullet-time looks like in LEGO?

I saw an early alpha of the iPhone app. Looked good. I also saw an early alpha of Seesmic web and the way it advanced between the alpha and launch was dramatic - so I expect the iPhone client will track the same way.
- Steve Rubel

Robert that's really great. I definitely will consider switching back when the Seesmic iPhone app arrives.
- Vinko
Will get me,too, switched back to using Seesmic ;) Looking forward to hear from Loic soon
- Ali BULUT

- Thomas Power
This might just tempt me away from Tweetdeck...
- Andrew Terry
If they add friendfeed to the web app, I'll maybe use it instead of PeopleBrowsr. But then again, peoplebrowsr has implemented friendfeed in a very good way already.
- Svartling
Great News !
- Jean-Charles
You gotta keep an eye on Yahoo homepage. They have FB integration and someday may integrate Twitter (they have the 'what are you doing now'). Seesmic is way ahead, but Yahoo has mainstream adoption
- Jeremiah Owyang
Jeremiah, I agree. The new Yahoo homepage is impressive.
- Steve Rubel
from email
Im not sure it's impressive, as it's evolutionary, not revolutionary. When Wave comes out, it could dash the shine that Yahoo has.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I like ff's web design

Where do I sign up! I'm praying your web app will make my life of FF, FB, Twitter ETC more manageable!!!!! W/out crashing my puters AND still let me see my Home feeds!

I'm thinking that this is the type of post that would be good reason for FriendFeed to have a "Love" click option next to the "Like" click option so that we can register better levels of our emotion towards news we read in others' streams!
- Chris Aldrich
good news!
- Jeroen De Miranda
I have been using Seesmic from the beginning this is GREAT news!
- Robyn Hawk
Great news. Been looking for a good Friendfeed app
- Barry Howell
I'm quite excited for Seesmic's FriendFeed iPhone app.
- wiredgnome
yes yes yes
- Loic Le Meur
Don't forget Android when developing mobile apps!
- Travis B. Hartwell
I agree with Vinko; this would be a good reason to switch back to Seesmic
- Anne Mai Bertelsen
Might be late... but how is the Facebook acquisition going to effect this? I can't stand the way that app takes over Friendfeed.

I like the last position better, although I prefer the seat to lean back so my legs are raised.
- Bruce Lewis
Confirmational bias, but I'm really glad to see this. The third position shown is my favourite working posiition, but with feet up a bit. Now if chair manufacturers would see this too...
- Douglas
I sit in the last position when I'm at work.
- Derek Coward
I'm used to the first, but the third is more comfortable. The benefit of the third position is that the arm rests actually become usable for a tall person.
- Mark Trapp
135 looks good for back, but not for neck...
- Melih Bahadır Varol
Melih - it needs a headrest like a car seat has.
- Douglas
Get another office chair, remove the back, use it as a rolling, swiveling footstool. works pretty well. Also if you sit for hours, change position. An adjustable headrest of some sort would be good, sometimes I want my head held up a bit and sometimes not.
- Sue - Friendfeed is best
After spending an average of 8+ hours per day in front of the computer for the past 15 years, my neck is pretty messed up. My Chiropractor just took x-rays and informed me that my neck is bent 42 degrees in the wrong direction. I spent most the time in position 2 from the diagram above.

- Brent
My chair leans way back so I'm usually leaning back with my neck resting against the top of the back of the chair--seems close to #3. Though I have to be cautious, since I have indeed fallen all the way back...
- Kelly W.
I knew it! I've been slouching in front of a computer since the 80s and never had any issues with my back. I did have a shoulder problem for a while, but that disappeared once I got rid of the ergonomic keyboard tray.
- Ken Morley
I work in a leather recliner with a lap desk and feet propped up so I apparently knew this long ago. Hands down better than any desk chair and desk combo I've worked in ever. Elbows rest on the big soft arms of the recliner.
- Ed Millard
A lot of people spend maybe 2-3 waking hours on comfortable furniture at home compared to 8-10 hours of discomfort at work.
- Micah
I think it's not comfortable to work at 135° and it's not good for your back either. The Aeron chair (or a clone) reclines but also protects the 90° angle. So you sit straight in a reclined manner. It changes your center of gravity and distributes the pressure between your thighs & your lower back. http://www.hermanmiller.com/Product...
- Cem ARGUN
+1 for the third position w/ legs up slightly.
- Vaughn
That's how I sit, I mean the third position. I was so unhappy with the fact that I couldn't sit straight. Thank you for this link, I don't worry any more :))
- ؛ patrick
As it happens, I'm 60% of the way towards talking myself into a Freedom chair, which is equipped with a headrest that automatically swings into position when reclining.
- Andrew C (✓)
The third position looks a little too relaxed. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
This is the way I always sit, I was warned by everybody that this was bad for my back, that I would ruin my back. I knew it was bullshit.

Sonic Wire Sculptor is based on a musical instrument by Amit Pitaru which has been shown in museums and galleries world wide. A great effort has been placed in reworking the app to take advantage of the the iPhone's unique audio and input capabilities. The Sonic Wire Sculptor turns your 3D drawing into sound. It introduces a simple yet deep connection between visual and audio composition.
