It’s called LEGO “Life of George,” and while it may not sound like it has anything to do with Apple’s iPhone or iPod Touch, it just so happens the two technologies—yes, LEGO technically counts as “technology”—are joined at the hip. Imagine technology that could tell you if you’ve built something to spec, say a flag, or a car, or a person, LEGO style. Or don’t imagine and just give LEGO’s Life of George a go, though you’ll need an iOS device to complete the package. (MORE: Giveaway: Lego Universe Lets Players Build Big) LEGO’s tallish, rectangular box for the game (yep, it’s a game—more on that in a moment) packs in 144 LEGO bricks and something called a Playmat. You know how “green screen” technology works in movies, where actors work against a green-hued backdrop to allow video editors to eventually drop computer-generated imagery in behind or around them?

Get a coffee, give a coffee - Jonathan's Card. About Jonathan's Card Hi! I'm Jonathan Stark. You can download this picture of my Starbucks card to your phone and buy coffee at Starbucks with it. Seriously. If you're feeling generous, you can also add money to my Starbucks card by doing this and enjoy some serious good karma. Jonathan's Card is an experiment in social sharing of physical goods using digital currency on mobile phones.
Based on the similarity to the "take a penny, leave a penny" trays at convenience stores in the US, I've adopted a similar "get a coffee, give a coffee" terminology for Jonathan's Card. As it turns out, this is actually a new take on a wonderful old italian custom called Caffe Pagato, which translates to English as "Coffee Paid". For the record, Jonathan's Card, Jonathan Stark (me), this site, or anything else I've ever said or done is totally not affiliated with Starbucks. How to Get a Coffee Please note: This procedure works in U.S.

With Facebook and Gchat we can stay connected to our friends in Hong Kong and Hamburg, no problem. But how do we forge relationships with the people who actually surround us—our neighbors? A new app called Home Elephant puts neighbors in touch about their mutual concerns: the stuff that's going down in the neighborhood.
It's kind of like an online neighborhood-watch-plus-bulletin-board for hyperlocal communities. Once you sign up, you can exchange messages and alerts with people who live on your block, around the corner, or down the street. Home Elephant has a practical focus: Users share crime reports, lost pet announcements, notices about traffic disruption—that kind of stuff. So far, Home Elephant serves 1,039 neighborhoods in 20 countries and counting. Via PSFK. Birds on Twitter. German Billboard Dispenses Dog Food When You Check in on Foursquare [VIDE. GreenGoose - Play Real Life. Should Barbie Take Ken Back? Instagram and Creative Blindness. Over the last month it's been exciting to watch Instagram grow within Made By Many. Tim's post Quora is from Mars, Instagram is from Venus talks about the "simple pre-verbal delight of sharing something beautiful by showing it to other people" and that's the heart of the attraction. Instagram is incredibly casual, it doesn't demand you share your location, and the community is clearly encouraged to "like" other photos, rather than submitting comments, or rating pictures.
My first reaction to realising how much and how often I checked the Instagram feed was to start thinking about an API. Perhaps that's a natural reaction, wanting to build things on top of a successful, social application, but I'm becoming more convinced that it's also the wrong one. There is no official Instagram API, although there do seem to be plans to create one. Again, though, waiting for an official API before building something is the wrong approach.

Today the Greater Manchester Police are showing the world what they do by using the power of Twitter. Over the next 24 hours they will be tweeting all of the 999 calls they receive to highlight the complex social issues they face and that it’s not just about ‘catching criminals’. Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), wants the public, and politicians, to see what his officers deal with on a daily basis. “Policing is often seen in very simple terms, with cops chasing robbers and locking them up,” he said. “However, the reality is that this accounts for only part of the work they have to deal with.
“A lot of what we do is dealing with social problems such as missing children, people with mental health problems and domestic abuse. Often these incidents can be incredibly complex and need a lot of time, resource and expertise. There has already been backlash by Fiona McEvoy of the TaxPayers’ Alliance. The Feed | Orange.

Best Buy Launches Shopkick Automatic Checkins and Rewards at 257 Stores. Best Buy is readying 257 of its U.S. stores for a digital loyalty program that rewards customers who walk in and automatically check in via the Shopkick iPhone app and future Andriod app.
The Best Buy Shopkick initiative was announced earlier this month and will award offline shoppers with "kickbucks" — the Shopkick virtual currency — that can be redeemed in-store or converted to Best Buy gift certificates online. Shopkick has been integrated into Best Buy's point of sale system, allowing customers to give their mobile phone number to the cashier to redeem discounts. The program is set to go live tomorrow in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, New York City and Chicago markets, with 70 additional stores in Dallas, Miami and Minneapolis set to support the digital rewards program by October 1.
Shopkick's iPhone app (which also goes live tomorrow) is designed to automatically check shoppers in to retail venues; no manual entry or GPS required. [img credit: Ron Dauphin] Barcode Hero Attacks In-Store Shopping With An Addictive Social Game. You’re likely aware of Foursquare, the location-based service that turns checking-in to venues into a game of sorts. You may also be aware of StickyBits, an app that turns barcodes into message boards. What do you get when you combine them? Barcode Hero, a new product by Kima Labs, a startup founded by two Amazon veterans. The main idea behind the service is an app that attempts to make shopping more social. A user takes their phone into a store, launches the app, and starts scanning the barcodes of items they’re interested in.
Doing so unlocks points and rewards such as dukedoms and kingships — yes, the Foursquare idea, but here it’s for product categories. More importantly, this scanning allows Barcode Hero to build up a database of information and will help them to personalize your shopping experience. “We want to attack in-store shopping,” co-founder Blake Scholl tells us. What’s nice about the app is that it’s simple. You can find Barcode Hero in the App Store here. Pinterest: Catalog, Collaborate, and Share. Pepsi Refresh Project. Got a webcam?

Virgin Trains has created an online game that gets users to fight zombies anywhere in the UK by using Google Street View. The game is part of a campaign promoting rail travel by suggesting commuter traffic will turn you into a zombie.
