What is "Web 2.0"?
最典型的案例，維基百科(Wikipedia)，是一「權力下放、去中心化」(decentralized) 的網路百科全書，不再由網站編輯主導內容，反而開放地由使用者協同合作編撰百科內容，這創新作風不但受到全球各語言編撰者踴躍參與，維基百科也建立起其權 威性和可信度。可惜，因其民主自由開放的作法，卻遭到中共的封鎖。另外，如亞瑪遜書店(Amazon)，以顧客售後經驗交流與回饋互動的開創作法，建立顧 客推薦機制，形成愛書人社群。

PROJECT: "MORE" design comps
AGENCY: Periscope
AD: Carmen Roselles, Rob Peichel, Kent Bishop
Sometimes, "More is More," which was exactly the case with this project. Periscope had a new pitch for their client and wanted us to help them get More out of it. Without a comp or skinny-line to use as a go-by, we were largely left to our own devices. Taking the project through our innovative process centered around SimpleCG, we quickly turned out their 3 key concepts: More Savings, More Green, and More Choice. As is often the case, we tried to take our client's request and give them a little More than they asked for.

史上最大的小熊軟糖
你想嘗一顆嗎?
我想吃完以後大概連飯都不用吃了=="
但是"鋸糖扒"的滋味應該目前只有這顆糖能做到...
拿來送禮也不錯!!!
大大一顆,夠體面!!!(人不是都覺得體積大的禮物比較好嗎?)
PS不過呢...
這應該打上兒童不宜的標示吧!
不然家裏每個孩子都嚷着要一顆...
家長也是時候該頭疼孩子將來的蛀牙問題了...
圓桌論壇:文化基建與城市發展-- 文化起動， 隱見生機……
講者： 陳冠中、李照興、 陳婉嫻、鄭炳鴻
評論： 朗天
近年香港人開始留意城市規劃、舊區重建政策與及環保問題，顯示出我城文化正在更生與轉變。藉著啟德河活水的誕生，牛棚藝術節協會與1a空間邀請了數位重量級文化評論人，對人文內涵與城市建設作深度思考，甚至作一些具體與前瞻性的提議，若能影響未來發展規劃上的微調，我城文化生活大可活出一片新天地。香港的起居生活與城市發展有密不可分的關係，文化從來就是人與地互相孕育而成，重新建立人與地持續互動的關係，注入藝術文化的關注，城市的可居性自然會提升，精神素質的孕育將能低減中環價值與石屎深林的枯燥與貧乏。
蔡仞姿 (1a空間副主席／香港浸會大學視覺藝術院助理教授)
講者及講題簡介：
陳冠中（作家／評論家／媒體人／綠色和平國際董事）
「原來香港還有這樣的一個BAY AREA」
．整片性的有意義地區
．九龍城塘灣區的整體後發優勢
．整片地區的編織精耕補養活化才是特色發展之路
．留舊添新，功能互補，階層共享，混雜是美
．不讓交通工程師主導——移除地面的穿越公路
李照興（香港文化評論人／影評人／作家／出版人）
文化區不是目的地
．拆解文化區的迷思
．文化區能否被打造
．文化區孕育的條件
．文化區為何不是目的
．比較國內海外及香港文化區的緣起及發展
．發展理想社區與城市生活之關係
陳婉嫻（工聯會副會長，全國政協委員，1995-2008年立法會議員。）
「在我喜歡的土地上如何參與城市規劃, 達到共構共建共享的理想？」
鄭炳鴻（1a空間主席／香港中文大學建築系副教授）
「人自地而生，地因人而活。」
．互為因果——文化生態與本土生活密不可分的共存
．啓德河——人文景觀再現
．社區持續的耕耘，及文化灌溉
朗天 (文化策劃及評論人)
評論：東九龍作為母土之不可能性
相對於由上而下，著重宏觀和外示式規劃的西九文化，我們在東九的在地文化發展中窺見另一種選擇。
「不可能」的事，就在啟德的地平線上隱伏著……

Lego Augmented Reality
In terms of attractiveness, it works. It further describe the information at a glance. It also stimulates buzz as in a guerilla approach. But finally you're going to buy or not is the product, not the advertisement. Will you let go the package at the end? Keep this in your mind, find your own answer for its application.

climate changing
We can feel the current climate is making a big changing compared to the past.Temperature? Humidity? And so on...both are very important to all the earthman for living.
For example, when there is a high temperature, people will open the air-conditioner and the others which can make them feel more comfortable. What I mean is... they must take some actions opposite to these changing. However, most of them NEVER consider why the problem stays here. It is really pity to see the next generation suffer from OUR disastrous effect.
Remember, love our planet, and plan a good future to OUR generation!!
Don’t do more ATTACKS to the Earth again and again.

不是垃圾「創意物料中心」第一步講座 Garbage Not Garbage Presentation
It's encouraging to see how people in the Community Museum Project have turned the word "Museum" into an everyday experience. While we are surprised by he way ordinary objects and settings are rediscovered and reinvented through reintrepretations and representations, it's time to rethink our position and adjust our ways of thinking in our day to day learning and teaching of design culture. You may be aware that the "Community" has three connotations: subject matter, settings and creative public interface.

Donald Norman on co-creation as a “transmedia” design challenge
There is another side of this new transmedia: co-development, co-creation, co-ownership. In this new world, we all produce, we all share, we all enjoy. Teacher and student learn together achieving new understanding. Reader and writer create together. Game player and game developer work together. This is the age of creativity, where everyone can participate. Everyone can be a designer. Everyone can be involved ...
... True creativity requires some thought, some work, some effort. It has to be reflective, even if only after the fact. Mindless creativity has its place, but the real challenge before us is to unleash the substantive creativity inside most people ..."
This article is very insightful and I hope you can read the full story (Don't be scared off by the length) to give you an idea of what a designer should do. Feel free to post your comments here.
The Impact on Global Climate Change
To highlight the effects of climate change, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo made a installation of 1,000 ice sculptures of sitting men on the steps of Berlin’s concert hall. The sculptures began melting in 30 minutes.
The Berlin installation was sponsored by the WWF. The action coincided with the release of a major report on Arctic warming by WWF entitled Artic Feedbacks: The Impact on Global Climate Change, highlighting that the consequences of the rapid retreat of ice will not only affect the Artic region but the planet as a whole.
Since 2005, Azevedo has been setting up her Melting Men in various countries around the world. Although originally intended as a critic of the role of monuments in cities, environmentalists around the world are adopting her work as climate change art.

Specializing in digital technologies, he aims to mix genres and ways of expression to explore the potential of audio visual media.
