Enrollment rates are reportedly soaring at Tokio Zokei University.

On the eccentric side perhaps, but arguably the most engaging university site going — see the UK version by way of comparison.

Tent Finder – Glastonbury – iPhone app

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

“Using the latest GPS technology TentFinder enables you to find your tent amongst the 1000’s of others at any music festival or other camping event. By simply adding a place (such as your tent, the beer tent, the main stage or even the toilets), TentFinder will then GPS stamp that location and you can name the place. You can optionally add a photograph and your stamped locations are saved and clearly shown across the screen. When you want to return to that location you simply press FIND and the app will guide you back using a virtual COMPASS and a directional line laid over the festival map (google maps). Also included in the app is a torch for added assistance in finding your tent. This is a superbly simple and effective way of NEVER getting lost when trying to find your tent.”

Cool name. Cool dot-matrix graphics.

Install a block of black pixels on your desktop and save the planet. Install a block of black pixels on someone else’s desktop and confuse them no end.

Also from Offworld. Ico was one of the most beautifully designed games on the Playstation 2. They manged to get a real emotional feel into the game and make you care about the world you were inhabiting. The new version looks equally amazing.
