This post from Boing Boing fianlly made the mainstream press over the weekend, with it being in the Telegraph yesterday and Metro today. The link to the homepage is now down. But would you have your favourite pet preserved and its fur made into a pillow cover? But the reaction against it appears to be […]
Timing is everything
The company has been undergoing some fairly major restructuring over the last 3 months. Ther have been multiple re-organisations of teams and markets and now it is the turn of my area, the IS function, and we have the big meeting on Tuesday. But they still have to work on communication a little – in […]
Marketing…good and bad.
It had to happen, someone offer’s their penis for an advertising tattoo. The aution on ebay has been taken down, so we can only speculate on the size of real-estate on offer. However, I’m interested in how he was going to generate traffic to view the ad! However, this flash animation for Hitachi perpendicular drives […]
Royal Transport
I love the site of the majority of the British Royal family clambering on a bus to get moved up the hill to the castle.
Workmen explained
I found out what the workmen on the next building have started doing – they are going to be adding an extra floor to Debenhams.
Google Maps Part 2
I love google maps…and now they’ve discovered the rest of the world, at least via Satellite. They have added satellite imagery to the site, with all the saem cool sliding and zooming, but a global version, to various resolutions. So I can take a closer look where I have just booked a holiday
Meme Tracking
Reading through the blogroll, it’s interesting tracking the various ideas and topics as they flow. But if you join in the conversation half way though, how can you make sure you have the picture? One of the recent topics has been this very subject, and now there’s an answer – BlogPulse. Using key words, you […]
Pet hates
I hate this shop display. It first came out last summer, when it was warm, and a fun water-squirting flower seemed a good idea. But it’s been there ever since, every single day; all through the winter and now back into the spring. And it’s suffered; it’s got weaker and weaker. At the start, the […]
Invites galore
Looking around yahoo360, I see that I have invites a plenty for the sharing (along with orkut and gmail…). Leave a comment if you want one. And there’s quite a few others as well..whilst Jeremy Zawodny is way over his limit, there’s also this forum.
Pope John Paul…
For some reason I find the images of the embalmed(?) body of the pope very creepy..especially as it is obvious they’ve put him in new shoes
Yahoo! 360°
I picked up an invite at mobileread to Yahoo! 360° to take a look at it. Here’s my page, does not say a lot yet. Can it replace this and Flickr…probably not yet?
‘ow bist thee – family visits and ghosts
For Easter, I travelled to see the family. Sunday lunches are always fun, and this time we had 12 around the table. For some reason we got onto ghost stories: for a while my gradnparents have felt they have had a visting pair pf ghosts called George and Alice, so named following a visist from […]
Friday Night Project
I was on TV last night, or at least the back of my head was. A few weeks ago, my friend Carmel had some tickets to go and see the filming of the Friday Night Project, staring Jimmy Carr at the LWT studios on the South Bank. I’d never been to a TV studio before, […]
