Strange Photographic Co-Incidence
I hadn’t noticed that the sign in this photo said “Dress Code?” on it in big letters when I took it. But oddly it ended up right next to this… It’s the totally bonkers dress code from Miyagi’s in LA. No Plain Tshirts – holy fuck! And…
The Unfinished Swan – So So Beautiful
This in-development game looks absolutely amazing. I love the art direction so much it makes me want to weep tiny black tears of joy onto a white thing. Via: Wired Game Blog
The Value of Really Big Pictures
Still at Webby Connect: Michael Zimbalist from the NYT has just said that the Big Picture Blog has doubled traffic to Boston.com year on year. Big pictures are in. ‘The fold’ is out.
What I’m Feeling About Webby Connect
It’s interesting. But through the sessions it’s becoming very clear that it’s a world of 2 halves. One half is people who believe that it’s just business as normal. Everything conforms to the old rules in the end. It’s all about talent…
On My Way To LA
Only airports have such odd novelty decorative power outlets… I’m on my way to LA to take part in the Webby Connect Conference and I’m very much looking forward to it. If you’re in the area or going to the conference drop me a line……
The Taxi Driver’s Question
I just lazily took a cab ride from the other side of town back home (and it wasn’t the taxi of the beast as pictured above – that was the first picture I found on Flickr). Anyway… The cab driver was a chatty and charming young guy. He…
Vintage Pole Position Advert – Playful Conference
I’m sure this has been featured a few places, but it is pretty awesome. I came across it whilst trawling around for various game-related things. Reason is… I’m really looking forward to it. Not because I’m speaking, but because there’s a…
Reusing not Recycling
Just realised I posted a dumb comment over on Ben’s blog. He’d blogged about how we should re-use our Amazon boxes and how it’d be better than recycling. I commented about how I’d cleverly thought of re-using some Innocent pots the other…
On The Hunt For a Technical Director
Anyone know any brilliant technical director types who’d be up for working at Poke? Our Igor is leaving to go to a super job at the Guardian. Being an agency and doing work for ‘the man’ we can hardly persuade him against going to work for…
Recession Blocker
Simple, but not really all that useful. Stick in your favourite news website and it’ll block out words like loss, crash, etc. Here’s what it does to the Guardian… Try it out for yourself…
The Worst Sign Ever?
The more I look at it, the more confused I get. I’ve got no idea what time it’s trying to communicate whatsoever…
Cissors Palace
I must have walked past this about 27 times in my life. And never once noticed the superior punnery of this particular hair salon…
