Only a few things today as I’ve been on a couple days hols (more on this when I get chance) and am now officially pitch bitch for the rest of this week. Flood 2.0. With the UK drowning through unseasonably high water fall of late, here’s a mash up of Google maps with news reportsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 08.08.07”

stuff and things 03.08.07
Not content with the fabulous Golf night driving, VW have extended the use of the Touareg stunts from the new Matt Damon film, the Bourne Ultimatum with a 3D stunt simulator: create your own stunts, load ’em, see if the people out there rate your stunt as cunning or not (deliberate Kenny Everett -ism thereContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 03.08.07”

As well as being really moreish sweeties, Skittles have a cool web site where you can create your own animated cartoon, based on the very nice ATL execution, and then share it with your friends on Bebo. I like it. Sky have created a channel called SkyCast. I just don’t see why they didn’t createContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 30.07.07”
best banner ad i’ve seen in ages
No gimmicks. Just funny. Makes you want to click. Which makes a refreshing change. Sadly it doesn’t follow through on the BK site (excuse the pun).

Nokia have a new site out for the N95 about how jealous computers are of their product. Some Google mash up things. Win a Chloe bag everyday with a new Sure for Women site by Craik Jones (Thanks to Silvan for sending that) Dry Spell Institute by Wrigleys A rugby bet London’s best smallContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 27.07.07”
something for nothing without having to fill in a form
Earlier this week the good folk of the Metro (free rag [newspaper to my non-English readers]) in London were handing out free sample sof a new product (I assume), Emmi Caffe Latte at Euston station. As it was free and pre-chilled, I picked one up. It tasted fine but nothing special. But then I thought,ContinueContinue reading “something for nothing without having to fill in a form”
we’re all europeans now… yeah, right
I’m in Holland again today after an oh my god early flight into Schiphol. I perused a couple of the free rags that were scattered on the train from Schiphol to Den Haag (sitting upstairs of course – why can’t I do this at home???) and discovered that there had been a concert/festival of sortsContinueContinue reading “we’re all europeans now… yeah, right”
(buzz) stuff and things 20.06.07
Buzz 1: word of mouth. Social infectiousness. Jibber jabber. Call it what you will. Bzz Agent have been going for a while Stateside and have recently started up in the UK. Does it work? Well, as Kevin Keegan once said, “if you don’t buy a ticket you can’t win the raffle.” (How we missContinueContinue reading “(buzz) stuff and things 20.06.07”
stuff and things 19.06.07
Logo a-go-go! After the fiasco of that logo, comes more news that the banking institution known as Barclays is highly likely to change their logo for fear of offending the Dutch if the proposed merger with ABN Amro takes place. While the logo causes less visual intolerance than the 2012 thing, it does strike aContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.06.07”
stuff and things 15.06.07
Forget wikipedia, watch videopedia instead. 5min.com has short, instructional video clips on a whole lot of stuff. (source: iconoculture) Swap the plane for the train & get a first class ticket with Virgin Trains. The bearded one likes green stuff. Interesting that despite staggering out of Euston tube station each day onto the main concourseContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 15.06.07”
