stuff and things 29.06.07

Quite a random collection today… Lots of bookish things about on the web and room for two more. Good reads lets you keep a track of what you’ve read and recommend etc. Read it, Swap It is a swap shop for books. After all, how many do you read twice? A gift for the ladyContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 29.06.07”

(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”

I love this image of social circles that I found on bnox courtesy of Philippe. Explore the links in the bnox post, you will be rewarded. 60% of British bosses dream of sex during powerpoint presentations. See, it does make you go blind. “Abby is suffering a painful bum from being over-spanked” is possibly oneContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 14.06.07”

stuff and things 13.06.07

I want one of these. The guy who created it is a finalist on the ITV series, Tycoon. And my wife works with someone who’s selling them. And it’s in my lounge! But it needs batteries and I don’t have any. The excitement level is huge. The key question is: can I adapt it toContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 13.06.07”

spam the monkey races with coulthard

Faces For Charity is the Red Bull Racing team’s charity. But more important than that, for £10 you can get your mug on the side of their cars for the British Grand Prix! So Spam the Monkey gets to fly round Silverstone at nearly 200mph. Woo hoo! (and feel good as he’s done somethingContinueContinue reading “spam the monkey races with coulthard”

fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll

Unsigned band, The Bribes, have just mildly annoyed about 4,000 Facebook members. Trading on the tirade of abuse that 2012 logo is getting, the band set up a fake facebook group. And then in a dastardly turn akin to the butler in Scooby Doo removing his mask, revealed that it was a ploy forContinueContinue reading “fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”

greatest hits – pass it on

I feel a bit like Girls Aloud being asked to do this by Philippe as I’ve only been going since March this year and therefore a few single releases being cobbled together to make a greatest hits album. Anyway, I’ll mix my album with a bit of what’s popular in the charts [people have readContinueContinue reading “greatest hits – pass it on”
