The Week. #3. This week’s “The Graphics” is a quoted text from Signalnoise.com for Haiti earthquake. Updates every Saturday (Click image to read full post, works like that every week).
Signalnosie for Haiti – Graphics for a cause.
The republic of Haiti was hit with a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday, January 12th. Most of the necessities of life, such as food, shelter and water have been reduced to near nothing and the poor country is now struggling with rescue efforts and the dispersal of much-needed supplies and aid. They have very little to work with.
For the next week, artists like Chuck Anderson are donating all money they make from selling their wares to the disaster relief fund to help Haiti, and Signalnoise will be doing the same. 100% of sales from the Signalnoise Store for the next week will be donated directly in support of Haiti. Please note, all posters will be shipped out early to mid next week.
Big thanks to the following for their orders and support:
Ramon Thompson
, Andreas Ellwanger
, Emilio Bellu
, Brandy Byrd
, Franz Jeitz
, The Remakers

It’s easy to feel separated from things like this based on geography, but it doesn’t mean we’re not all in this together. Every bit counts. My heart goes out to you, Haiti. Link -> http://blog.signalnoise.com/2010/01/14/signalnoise-for-haiti/

Poken
Poken is an “online identity card”. Identities like Facebook account, Instant messaging accounts and your other identities of the numerous social networks you belong to can be stored in the Poken. Simply “high five” your Poken with another to transfer this data, a green light shows after a successful transfer. The appearance is available in many many variations, from Frankensteins to the limited edition Obama. Go get yours today. But.. there is one catch. The Poken is not that famous worldwide yet so it might not be as useful in the coming months. Link -> http://www.findapoken.com/
The fashionReebok PUMP
It’s the 20th anniversary for the Reebok PUMP technology. Started in 1989/90, the Pump was a pair of basketball shoes. It was phenomenal just by the fact that it allows users to inflate the tongue of the shoe, enabling a tighter and more customized fit. Later on becoming a pair shoes for tennis, and general exercise. In 1994, Reebok launched the Instapump fury, for running purpose. A pair of lace-less shoes using purely the inflatable tongue to keep the athletes’ foot inlace. There are now a vast range of the PUMP to choose from, from size to usage to appearance. Link -> http://www.pump20.com/

The last week
Nexus one
Tons of rumors about the “Google Phone”. Finally released earlier in the week, named Nexus One. Runs on Android. Weights around 130 grams, 59.8 mm think and 119 mm tall. Clean design, by HTC. 3.7 inch display, 800 x 480 px (for those of you who are thinking of wallpapers, already..). 5 megapixels camera WITH flash AND video function(, Apple..), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (More specs, click link below). Sleek and simple design to the appearance of the phone, hides the clickable buttons and ports really well, yet fitting all product semiotics. A Telfon coated back, not sure why.. but it is sure in my “next phone i’m gonna buy” list. Link -> http://www.google.com/phone
