Real Estate Application: It. Is. Alive!

Just finished up a real estate application for an awesome client last week! Due to NDA restrictions, I won't go into detail on this application until its official release, but I wanted to show you guys how this application came to life through a few photos. Hope you enjoy!

It's cool when the name of a store in Japan sparks a friend to snap a picture and send it to me here in the US :) - technology and friends rule don't they? Thanks Mike Thomas!!

Updated Sails Portfolio Pieces

Spent some time today updating our Dribbble and LinkedIn profiles and decided why not update tumblr with some sails goodies as well? Here are some awesome portfolio ready shots of some of our sails work as of late.

There's an App for that: Empathy

Just read this article about facial feature recognition and wonder what the implications of this really are...

The article talks about how subtle facial changes tend to be universal, yet also very subtle at the same time. That said, there are companies currently working on algorithms that actually detect your facial features and essentially read your emotions based on their findings. Pretty neat right?

So my question is - what does this mean? Especially for those professional poker players out there ;)! Will this help the world understand each other better, or better reveal how pissed off everyone really is all the time? I'm not sure I want people to know how I'm feeling all the time. What about you?
