Modern Man
I’m taking part in the Carnival of Modern Man over the next couple of weeks (because I was asked). It’s an interesting project by the PSFK guys and I thought it would be good to stretch out my blogging muscles a little bit. So you might…
Crackunit is One!
Hooray. This current version of Crackunit has made it to the age of one. That’s more than any of the other versions did… I was thinking about the history of Crackunit and my blogging and I couldn’t remember how long I’d had the domain for…
Shoes on Wires
I’d always wondered why you often see shoes hanging over overhead cables. I saw loads of them in the Lanes in Brighton at the weekend. Wikipedia has the answer (as always). But this time I’m not convinced about any of their stories, or any…
Birthdays
I totally missed Google’s birthday (28th September). But I picked it up today thanks to Mike at DigitalAgency Perhaps the reason that I missed it was that it was my birthday on the same day and I was too worried about being old. I like…

Mmmmm Crisps
As far as vices go crisps is a big one for me. I’m not a chocolate person. I like salty stuff. With fat. This ad haunts me. When I look at the lovely colourful packs I can’t help but think of drinking oil. It works.

Netflix Prize
This must be one of the most blogged about stories of the last week. But I’m going to do it anyway because I think it’s really interesting and it spans the worlds of geekery and marketing perfectly… Netflix are offering $1,000,000 to…
Forrester: YouTube is goin’ down
A Forrester blog (Devices, Media, And the Future of Everything) has a post from one of their analysts that predicts that copyright will be the downfall of YouTube. He draws parallels with what happened to old-Napster. Certainly an…
Organic Blog
Not a blog about stuff with no pesticides. Stuff about the web agency Organic. Actually they might be pesticide free too, in fact they probably are. They’ve got a nice blog: Three Minds @ Organic. A smart blog with interesting things in…
M&Ms Dark
I like this. It looks lovely. It’s nicely produced. And it’s always tough to do something in the least bit interesting with chocolate online. M&M’S® Dark Chocolate But… It does owe a big debt to the Virgin Radio promotion from last year…
South Bank Show Podcasts
I’m highlighting these podcasts because watched the South Bank Show on Sunday night for the first time in ages. Specifically because Irvine Welsh was supposed to be taking Melvin Bragg around bits of Edinburgh. I lived in Muirhouse where…
