    Uniqlo does it again, introducing yet another flash web app to help promote the brand, this time in the form of a calendar that shuffles time-lapse videos of tilt-shift style photos. Looks great, and they’ll release it as a screensaver soon too. Via Marxy.

Seems like the new plan to reserve Cafe Pause for the event was justified since we again ended up with a 30+ crowd, and the new table arrangement — a pixelated triangle, courtesy of the cafe’s manager — made for a better round-table discussion. We covered quite a…
