Better known as the "chalk man", Julian Beever creates anamorphic* illusions that look like amazing 3 dimensional passages. He's been working with chalk for over 20 years in all different corners of the world. I have only one question...how does he keep them from smearing?

Interact Seattle - Immersive Experiences Party

For those of you in web design/UI or development, I recommend checking out the opportunities to network. Interact Seattle is a group of industry professionals that host events that are meant to inspire and connect people. This month they're having an "Immersive Experiences Party". If you can get past the cheesy pictures on their site, the actual event looks like it'll be a great learning experience. They're going to have all sorts of tech from tablets to tables that folks will be able to get hands on with.
