WTF WWF – Massive Paper Plane and Boat Project
Here’s the short version of the story: With the WWF we’re building a massive paper plane and massive paper boat. We’re then going to fly / sail them (somehow) to the Houses of Parliament. If you sign up to the online petition your name…
Google Vanity Ring
Too good. An project that looks at jewelery and status in the digital age. The creator Markus Kison says: Update of the ring as a status symbol. It shows the number of Google hits you get, when you search for the name of the person who…
Free Dub!
I downloaded an album from Boomkat earlier. It’s dub. Big shaky dub music that make everything wobble in a good way. It’s called Foundation Bit by Disrupt. It’s Boomkat’s album of the week and they say: Probably the most talked-about BASS…
Russian Dolls That Look Like Me
Just saw this thing about Paint Your Own Russian Dolls on PSFK. Now it’s unlike them to be so late to the game. Weiden+Kennedy had a window display of painted dolls back in June ’06. But ages before that. September ’05 in fact (for my…
Customer Service
Awesome. “Yes sir, you did ask for a pie. The quality of the pie was average. So I’ve given you a herring. The quality of which is also average. Therefore we’ve avoided your disappointment. Did you not read the sign…?”. From a tea shop in…
Flickr ‘Adult’ Content
Someone (who shall remain nameless) sent me a link to some images on Flickr that were perhaps slightly more ‘saucy’ than normal. Not a lot, just a bit. What I loved (not the pictures incidentally) was Flickr’s ‘turn on my safety fliter’…
Nike, is it Supersonic?
Right now you can’t move in London without seeing some kind of ad for Nike Supersonic. According to the blog spam I got the other day: “Nike is launching an exclusive invitation only event for 3,000 people in London to push their pace…
Saving the World One Design at a Time
Ben’s blog is always great. But here’s a bit of greatness that you should make a special effort to read: I’m a designer, use me better – it’s Ben’s presentation from the Applied Green conference. It’s just dead good. It shows that…
The Art of Chart
I’ve blogged http://indexed.blogspot.com/ before, and by George I’m sure I’ll do it again. Coming up with seemingly endless killer doodle charts on index cards that are sweet, insightful and make me laugh is a feat that deserves regular…
Britain’s Brainiest Family on Wii
Spotted this on TV the other night. I thought it looked like a really cool integrated campaign for Big Brain Academy on the Nintendo Wii. What I took out of the ad was that you’d get to play networked Big Brain against other families and…
How Much For An Ad On A Bus in Google Street View?
If you’ve not seen it yet Street View in Google Maps is amazing. Lifehacker reports that it’s now in 15 US cities (and it’s coming soon to the UK judging by the fact that we saw a Google cam car driving round London the other day). I’ve…
Charlie Brooker – More Cocks and (She)Cocks in Advertising
I do find Charlie Brooker amusing. I think I’d find it a bit painful being so dark all the time, but I admire him for it
