From Wired.com:

What do you do after working for Apple, a company whose mission seems to be nothing less than disrupting entire industries? Easy. You start a company to create your own ding in the universe.

That’s the idea behind Push Pop Press, a digital creation tool designed to blow up the concept of the book. Frictionless self-publishing is a fertile new space, but this particular startup got a little help from former vice president Al Gore, whose exacting demands on an app version of his book Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis gave this would-be company its first real boost.

Developed by former Apple employees Mike Matas and Kimon Tsinteris, Push Pop Press will be a publishing platform for authors, publishers and artists to turn their books into interactive iPad or iPhone apps — no programming skills required.

“The app is the richest form of storytelling,” Matas said. “[Push Pop Press] opens doors to telling a story with more photos, more videos and interactions....”

Sat, 27 Nov 2010 05:26:00 -0800 3 design/tech gurus on Publishing in the future: iPads and onwards (we're not there yet) http://1001tales.posterous.com/3-designtech-gurus-on-publishing-in-the-futur http://1001tales.posterous.com/3-designtech-gurus-on-publishing-in-the-futur

Excerpt:

"Has a viable new medium emerged yet? Who's getting it most right, or least wrong, at the moment?

JL: There are plenty of interesting experiments but no clear direction. Digitally, the iPad has shown potential but little true definition of what might come next. It hints at how curated content might be better presented than it has been on free-for-all websites. The iPad social network aggregator FlipBoard is an excellent example of how material could be presented using algorithmic design to take raw words and lift them beyond a mere list. Some of the blog apps are interesting: Mashable, Coolhunting. Pulse News is another interesting app to watch. But there's also the business side. A key development will be how publishers manage to link print and apps.

JJ: Making our editorial content available on key platforms means we can be sure we are reaching as big an audience as possible. Just as there are several strong British and American news websites, there are several strong iPhone and iPad apps in the news category. It is no concidence that they have been developed on the whole by the blue-chip publishers on the US east coast and in London.

JLW: Who knows, but if we sit around waiting for the perfect medium, we'll never progress at all. Everyone who has made a start deserves a pat on the back, but it's probably the companies with the deepest pockets that are going to make the biggest advances and the biggest mistakes. It may get even more interesting when the smaller guys get involved.

Where do the iPad and similar tablets fit in with that? Are they the answer?

JL: They are only the latest step to what's next. They are excellent devices for enjoying video and browsing the web but have yet to definitively prove themselves as a workable home for magazine-type content.

JJ: The iPad is a fabulous piece of kit and still in its infancy; that is perhaps the most exciting aspect of it. Version one offers stunning opportunities for publishers and consumers alike, but what about versions two, three, four. . .? The iPad is just one way forward — and not the answer — for publishers as they adapt and progress in the fast-changing digital marketplace.

JLW: If tablets become as ubiquitous as the radio became in the Twenties and Thirties, so that even poor people have access to one somewhere, we may see a big change. There may be unintended consequences: Hitler, for example, wouldn't have been so effective without radio, nor would Bing Crosby."

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:01:00 -0700 Ah! we're beginning to see art! Making Future Magic: iPad light painting. Thnx RT @BBHLabs http://1001tales.posterous.com/ah-were-beginning-to-see-art-making-future-ma http://1001tales.posterous.com/ah-were-beginning-to-see-art-making-future-ma

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

We use photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, we play movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation.
