Their website has videos of all the demos online. As I the question on “what makes a good demo video?” is still open, maybe there is some inspiration there.

Apologies for getting still excited about these little DIY projects but isn’t this “How to build your own FM transmitter” just cute?

As I am looking over the Atlantic Station documentation once more, I stumbled over this: a theme park planned in China and using World of Warcraft as reference. Almost as good as my favorite theme park-video game reference: the Universal Theme Park Ride for the GameCube. In that one you have to pick up trash in the game theme park to collect points. The Chinese one has awkward parallels to the eternal gold mining discussion. Seems there is a continuing thread from work to park and back.
