Lara Croft – The World is a Pallet
I’ve got no idea why this picture of Lara Croft is chalked on a pavement in Brighton with ‘The World is a Pallet’ written above it. Any ideas?…
The 7th Deadly Sin – We Have a Winner!
I’m absolutely flabbergasted at how many comments the 7 Deadly Sins of Digital has had. It’s up to 85 comments and still growing! But I figured it was time to pick my winner for the 7th Deadly Sin. Trouble is, there are so many great ones…
Funny URLs – I’m Sad
You know you’re a bit of a geek when… …You chuckle to yourself at a URL. I was just visiting the T-Mobile site and got this error page. Fair enough it’s very early in the morning and they’re probably doing some kind of update so I’m not…
Heroic Ads – New Bravia
I can’t help myself. I’ve been contacted by the online PR guys who are ‘seeding’ the new Bravia ad. Part of me wants to not play ball, but the other part of me wants to see what’s going on. I do like the ads and I’m interested to see what…
Weinberger vs Keen @ Supernova
Really interesting 50 minute presentation and discussion by David Weinberger (Cluetrain Manifesto, Small Pieces Loosely Joined, Everything is Miscellaneous) and Andrew Keen (Cult of the Amateur). I’m not going to try and sum up the…
Brighton Pride
I went to Pride in Brighton on Saturday. And it was great. The weather was good and gays and straights were out in huge numbers having fun. Struck me how nice it was to have an event that was founded in people just wanting to celebrate…
The 7th Sin Personified?
I don’t normally like highlighting specific pieces of work and picking on them. But in the context of the 7 Sins of Digital I had to post this. It’s Interflora’s new eBrochure. For starters anything called an eBrochure should be put…
Recruitment Musings
This is a tough, slightly reflective post to write. It’s very much a brain dump, the start of some thoughts rather than anything resolved. I’m hoping that some of the smart people out there on the internet will add to it and help these…
Protected Banksy (vs Warhol)
They just had to didn’t they: Warhol vs Banksy. Which reminds me. I’ve been meaning to have a bit of a letoff about this… It’s a bit of Banksy stencil art on a wall in Brighton (on the side of the Prince Albert pub on Trafalger St if you…
House Sign Typography
I always get overexcited by nice type on house signs. Whenever I go to Europe I’m impressed by the layouts of their flat numbers and suchlike. They always look so, well, European, and sophisticated. So when I was walking home in Brighton…
London 2012 Shit Poster
Wow. People are still hating that logo! Saw these on Brick Lane yesterday. There’s no URL or obvious association with anything. Just a pure statement of hatred for the London 2012 Olympic Logo, nothing more.…
7 Deadly Sins – It’s on Fire!
There’s some great comments coming in on the 7 Deadly Sins post. It’s going to be a struggle to pick a winner. I’ve got a couple of favourites already though. Problem is there’s going to be nothing left that we can do online once the list…
