VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUURRRRRRRRRRRRUURRRRRR.

Sorry about that.  This week’s issue was taken over by the World Cup’s digital vuvuzela, found inside, along with a whole bunch of other digital extensions to the planet’s favorite sporting event.  Also, we watch a digital behavior go analog as “Liking” something creeps into the real world, a classically-trained violinist playing the first level of Super Mario Bros. (not how you think), and the technology of today getting a decidedly-retro graphic design makeover.  Finally, New @ Denuo  recaps our involvement with The Betacup and how changing our coffee-drinking habits could save the planet from environmental destruction.

I was browsing the internets the other day when I happened upon the news that Nintendo’s releasing new colors of their mega-sized DSi XL in Japan. They look pretty fantastic (I’m especially diggin’ on that yellow one).

The video reminded me how much I love the smurf blue DSi. It kinda reflects my odd taste, and I dig that. Sadly the digital tool that reflects my odd digital tastes the most is boring on the outside. My smartphone. The 2010 smartphone is a decidedly black, white, and grey affair. Well consider this my call to arms. For color. My call for color if you will (clever, right?).

Issue 62 of Reflecteur looks into the deeper data behind photographs and video, whether its through Flickr decoding how tourists and locals photograph cities and how that data becomes a captivating image itself, or how history is revealed through Google Street View, where images from the past mesh with the present to tell a story through a digital map utility.

Also inside, the art of the font and the subcultures devoted to them, what YouTube does to a video when its downloaded and reuploaded over a thousand times, and the triumphant return of Denuo and Taco Bell’s purple, taco-dealing, free-wheeling truck.

Check out Reflecteur issue #61, where you’ll find the latest in our favorite photo blogs, like the one featuring a picture of the alarm clock your kids watered because “it looked like it needed it,” and other horrors of kids ruining things you own. Also, find out how easily it is for things to get lost in translation… when you translate it up to 56 times, see how “You and me put on a bad romance” becomes “I love you,” and, finally, robots. ‘Nuff said.
