Everyone has a name for them: the excellent Phil Hawksworth calls them “delighters”, my friend Tom Knowles and I call them “showbiz coding.” They are little bits of UI that do something unexpected and fun. I’m going to jump to my favourite kind: 3D effects. They give your UI some depth and, much as with the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects those suckers. They also have the advantage of being GPU accelerated effects, provided all you do is scale, rotate and translate (or skew, if that’s your bag).

Seedboom your surrounding!!!

Seedboms are made with an explosive mix of peat free organic compost, coir and a selection of flower seeds embedded in a recycled paper shell.

Seedboms break down over time and biodegrade into the environment leaving only flowers behind.

This is simply brilliant!!
