Racer : A genuine new thing

Since working on Racer and launching it a few people have said, ‘oh it’s like such and such a game’ but I’m yet to find something that is truely as unique as this AND is in a browser. Racer is a multi-player, multi-device Chrome Experiment. A retro-style slot car game played across screens. On phones or tablets, Android or iOS. Anyone can join. No apps. No downloads. Just the mobile web. It’s now up for The FWA Cutting Edge Project of the Year. If you think it deserves it please cast a vote!

And if you’re interested here’s the making of video which goes into detail on why it was so tricky to build.

Here’s Racer being demo’d at Google I/O 2013 – live demos are always nerve wracking, thankfully this one went smoothly.

Also awesome and cutting edge is that there’s also an installation version that runs on the same code base as the mobile game. The table was at Google I/O 2013 and another Google event ‘Zeitgeist’. Here’s a couple of pics of the table:

In addition to the table version, there are two flight case boxes containing a line up of mobile devices ready to play. This version also runs on the same code base. Here’s a pic of the cases and me demo’ing it at Cannes 2013 in the Google tent :

One final plug to get your vote on if you like it thanks!

Crowd Sourced Music Video

Neat idea via Monika for a crowd sourced music video, around 40K people have contributed so far. If you have a webcam you can throw your face C-Mon & Kypski’s music video

Astral Breeze – Francis Infernal Orchestra

Great tune from Australian based Griffin James. If you have a soft spot for house check it out

It’s long been a favorite on FBI’s Sunset with Simon Caldwell.

Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen

Pastor T.l. Barrett And The Youth For Christ Choir do their version of the traditional spiritual. Also check Louis Armstrong’s version. Edited: traditional spiritual, not Louis Armstrong original, thanks for the correction, @jedws.
