A Walk and A Ruddy Good Book – Go Tim!
There’s this guy called Tim Wright. He’s a lovely chap. He did some planning and writing and things for a game we made a long time ago at Poke. Anyway he’s either become a nutjob or a genius (or maybe he was always both). I’m not sure if…
My Inevitable Defensive Cannes Lions Post
I really don’t want to have to write this post. But when even the Cyber Lions Jury Chairman is posting things like this, what’s a guy to do ;-) There are traditional agencies (although they’re the least traditional of the traditional…
I Smell A Rat – Or Is It A Meerkat?
Deep breath… There’s this campaign right, it’s called Compare The Meerkat, it’s for an insurance comparison website called Compare The Market, the ad is a bit funny. I could try and describe it, but it’s easier to show you: Yes it’s all…
Confidence In Blog Posts Over Time – My Analysis (Slideshare)
Sometimes this is how I feel. And sometimes I can only express myself through presentations ;-)
Just To Be Clear…
In retrospect. Looking at the comments. With the benefit of hindsight. And having chatted with Sophie (and others). I think the long post from yesterday was perhaps too long and too connected. I think maybe it should have been 3 shorter…
Ever Seen A Website That Can Make You Cry?
Oh bollocks. My last post has stirred up a bit of comment and debate. I thought it might. I tried to be as clear as I could in setting it out. So as not to create yet another us vs them debate. It feels like I failed. I was trying to…
Life Is For Connectedly Sharing Better – The Advertising Myth
Experts predict that, if current trends continue, by q4 2010 all advertising will feature groups of people making something big and impressive. Recent examples of the genre are: A big domino toppling thing, a big, unfolded newspaper, a…

Borro.com – A Sign of The Times
Online pawnbroking. A sign of the times in so many ways. From Channel 4 News: Now where did I put that Rolex…?…
Wario Land – Shake it! Wii Advertising
This YouTube Channel for Wario Land is great. We’ve seen the technique before, but it really works here and was a genuine surprise. (Sorry, I guess I’ve spoiled it already, but take a look). And the game looks great too. The Wario…
Post It Note Experiments
By the eepybird guys. I’m not the first. And I won’t be the last to post it. But some things are just good… EepyBird’s Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.
Nice Music Player / Widget / Affiliate Scheme
I like this a lot. If you’re browsing music on DJdownload.com you can choose to share the stuff you’re listening to (or buying, or thinking of buying). Which then creates a really nice player / widget that you can embed. A few things that…
I’m Doing Christmas and It’s Doing Me In
The Christmas briefs are in… Aaaaaargh… People moaning about Christmas decorations in the shops in October can shut right up. I’m going to be fed up with the whole thing before Argos even puts Slade on rotation. I’m working on two of them…
I Hate Online Ads
When they do this kind of thing: It’s not the ads fault really I guess. But when an ad stops you from doing what you want to do you’ve got to dislike it a bit.…
How Many 5 Year Olds Could You Take In A Fight
22 I liked this promotion for a free online dating site. Not because I endorse fighting gangs of 5 year olds (although I’ve probably had more experience of that particular activity than most, but that’s another story…). I liked it because…
My Talk at Under The Influence
Here’s the talk I did at Iris’ excellent Under the Influence day. It’s basically about digital experiences and magic and how the two are interconnected. Hope it’s OK – from my perspective I think it wanders a bit at the end (I sort of ran…
Absolut Machines
Dickon from work pointed me at: ABSOLUT MACHINES. It’s so killer it’s not even funny. They’ve got a load of top drawer interactive music machines that you can play with over the internet. And the way they’ve done the queueing and stuff is…
