Toys


Dutch designers Stevijn van Olst and Johnny Slack' Cartelle studio site includes several online "toys" to amuse the web-weary designer. Among the delights on offer, you can burst balloons, bungee a skeleton doll, taunt sperm, and blow up fire-crackers, and programme beats using little blob creatures. Not involved or competitive enough to be described as games, the toys are more like a virtual version of those Newton's Balls executive toys.
Stevijn and Johnny's blog features thiis promo video for a Swarm Racer 3000, which I presume uses similar programming to achieve the "swarm intelligence" displayed by the sperm in their The Birds & The Bees game.
