Orange Unlimited Interactive TV
There’s one unfortunate things about Interactive TV ads, not that many people really get to see them. Which is a shame when they’re sometimes as lovely as this: Thanks to YouTube ‘ordinary’ people without Murdochian Red Buttons can now see…
A Minor Update
I’ve made a few tweaks to the blog. A few bits might be missing for a while. But hopefully not too long. I’m trying to rebuild it in a way that I sort of understand. And right now I sort of do. Just. If there’s anything that doesn’t work…
Fire Video Gets Honours, But Why?
The video from yesterday of the fire got a link from the Guardian’s News Blog. Their embedding of the video in their blog meant that the clip had over 6,000 views yesterday which meant that it got the following ‘honours’ on YouTube. I was…
Minority Report Wii
Elaborate hack that makes the Wii work like that crazy fingertip Minority Report interface that everyone loves so much. It’s quite a long time before it gets to the money shot and it’s quite high in geekiness. via: PSFK

This Internet Will Never Catch On

Post-it Note Waterfall
Reminded me of the end of the new Guinness Ad (only much cheaper). They look like the Diet Coke / Mentos guys. I think they might be
How Stuff Dates
I kind of love this track. But it sort of doesn’t seem to make sense any more. And the video has aged really really badly too. The original (E2:E4 by Manuel Gottsching) has aged much better in my humble opinion. It might be the cheesy…
FreeRice.com
This is great. Improve your vocabulary and donate rice to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). Really simple interaction. And it’s double compelling: you want to play more (if you’re a word geek) and it’s a really easy way to give…
My Love of Spam
I have a strange obsession with spam. Now I can look at lovely illustrated lines from spam thanks to the skills of Linzie Hunter. Check the Flickr group right here. via: the excellent Core 77…
Sometimes I Just Want to Cry
Or alternatively just shout really loud bad words in public. This morning I’m not going to cry. I’m going to shout. CAMPAIGN MAGAZINE PARTS THE SEA OF ONES AND ZEROS AND LEADS THE ADLANDERS INTO THE NEW LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. WHERE THERE’S…
