Addictionary
Are you an executard? Need to take a faceabbatical? No idea what these words mean. Then Addictionary is the place to go. Packed full of words only the internet could produce, you can look up anything and even add your own words. It’s pretty too!
Word Clock
Word Clock is a typographical way of telling time by Simon Heys. Nice concept and you can download it as a screensaver too!
Pingmag – No More
It’s a sad day when decent design blogs die and Pingmag was one of the best of them. Brilliantly written stories covering the fields of art, design, architecture, fashion and many other categories all with a Japanese twist were what made Pingmag so special. Hopefully the site stays up so you can browse the archives (which I highly suggest doing). Farewell Pingmag.
I Took Photos
I Took Photos is a nice little photo blog depicting images of suburban and rural Australia.
Aaaand we’re back!
Having finally made it back to the land of Oz, I’m up and running with a seemingly decent (albeit slightly slow) internet connection. Posting will resume shortly although might be a bit slower than last year whilst I get myself set up here in Australia.
Interestingly while I’ve been gone Hip.Young.Thing. has been nominated as a finalist in the 2008 Weblog Awards in the Best Hidden Gem category. It would be awesome if you could all get over there and vote for us!
I hope you’ve all had a great Xmas and New Year and thanks once again for supporting Hip.Young.Thing.
Peace.

Props to Wolfiewolf for the photo.
Papervision: Augmented Reality
Damn, this is pretty cool. Using the powers of Papervision the talented folk at Boffswana have produced an Augmented Reality. You can even play with it yourself if you print using a specialised symbol and your webcam.
Taking a break
So, it’s been a little while between posts recently, but I swear I’ve got a good excuse! I’m currently packing up all my worldy possessions in anticipation of moving from sunny London all the way to my original home town of Sydney, Australia.
Since moving across the world is taking up so much of my time at the moment, I’m going to take a break from Hip.Young.Thing. until January 2009. But don’t worry there are plenty of good things in store for the new year and ’09 is going to be bigger than ever. So in my absence, have a great Xmas and an excellent new year and I’ll see you in 2009. Thanks for supporting Hip.Young.Thing.
P.S. If any of you aussies know of anyone who needs a front-end web developer, I’m looking for work!
