Christmas Tweets – FWA site of the day for 25th Dec 2009

Pete — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 09:58:54 +0000

Just a quick post before we creep into 2010. On the 25^th of December Christmas Tweets – our twitter visualiser http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ – achieved the accolade of site of the day on the FWA http://www.thefwa.com. What I love about it is it’s not worthy, it’s a great use of twitter, it looks great and it’s fun. The competition is fierce on the FWA so well done to everyone involved.

While you’re there don’t forget to vote on the people’s choice award http://www.thefwa.com/pca2009/.

Without trying to sway you, I voted for the Soapbox Racer for Red Bull by Less Rain. It’s a lovely idea, beautifully crafted.

Happy New Year.

Magic Spoons

This morning I saw something that made me laugh so I thought I’d share it.

We have a problem with people tidying up after themselves in the kitchen. So much so that it gave rise to this post-it note.

Not only do I find the note funny because I like the idea of ‘Magic Spoons’ but, by the time whoever wrote the note – in the style of Gordon Brown – they could have put the spoons in the dishwasher themselves.

Brilliant!

87 cool digital experiments

Andy Berndt, MD of Google Creative Lab and Tom Uglow, Creative Lead did this presentation at Advertising Week in New York last month. The presentation shows the ways consumers; brands and Google are using technology to create new ways of engaging and interacting.

Many of the examples in ‘87 Cool Things’ highlight mashups, interactivity, unique data usage, and the fusion of virtual worlds and reality, all in combination with Google tools.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Pete — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:03:12 +0000

Last night I was treated to a preview screening of ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’ courtesy of lovefilm. I really enjoyed it but my wife thought it was weird. I think this might bomb commercially but will become a cult classic. Ewan McGregor’s American accent is a bit annoying – in a Sean Connery as a Spanish nobleman in Highlander kind of way – but his acting is great as is Clooney, Bridges and Spacey.
