Ordinarily I try not to blog about football but… I couldn’t help it. I know it’s a bit macabre but I wanted to see the pictures and because we missed the actual match on Sky, went channel hopping to try and find footage of it. Nope, none of it. Just the tackle from the mainContinueContinue reading “ooof”

quantum of solace first poster art
Silly name but a big gun. “Walther PPK? Nah, need a bigger gun, like the one I had at the end of Casino Royale please.” Although dissappointed why the future availability (why not today, it’s not hard to do?) of the poster for mobile devices is restricted to US only.

Best Ugly. WTF? It’s a new book about restaurant design and architecture by AvroKO where the phrase is explained as: “… all things that are beautiful and charming in an off-beat, sometimes awkward manner.” I quite like that sentiment that not everything has to conform or be conventionally aesthetically pleasing. A day book for creativeContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 21.02.08”

new york’s a go-go and everything tastes nice. or does it?
So I went to New York a few weeks back for work to meet some folks, do some meetings, present some work etc etc. Work side all good. Although I found myself oddly detached from it all. And I’m still unsure as to why this was. Here’s my thoughts on various subjects and maybeContinueContinue reading “new york’s a go-go and everything tastes nice. or does it?”

I saw this map on an art director’s wall. I like it in that quirky digital way of looking at the world. This and many others including a map of the island in Lost can be found here. And check out the always informative & thought provoking Mr Verdino’s post on trend blends for 08.ContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 31.01.08”
when you are not your own friend
In a nutshell, this annoyed me. I don’t know this guy even though he has the same name as me. Surely inviting people to be your friend on Facebook means at a bare minimum you know who they are? I would contest that on Linked In it’s more about business contacts and that’s OK. OnContinueContinue reading “when you are not your own friend”
