Thoughts on digital and the internets from a proper brummie like. The way blogging should be ... var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-22270518-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Nice prank from David Thorne here. Its made me think of all the CMS systems I've had direct access to over the years, yet have never done anything quite this funny ...

Lovely ad from Canon that really gets under the skin of what it means to capture  creative still images.  Anyone that's ever balanced on something shakingly precarious, or taken their £400+ camera anywhere near a large body of water, just to get a nice shot, will empathise with this instantly ....

Ever needed to explain your job in digital media to your mum, but couldn't quite find the words? Just show her the ace new Chrome TV ad. Simples.

I've been meaning to reblog this beauty for a while. For anyone not yet familiar, foodonmydog is a tumblr blog dedicated to Tiger, an amazing dog that has the ability to balance erronious food items on his head.

Suffice to say I've tried this with my dog, and it doesn't work ...

menshn.com is a new social network, formed around a simple idea - talk, on topic. Starting initially with politics, menshn covers the US election, with rooms dedicated to the election and the Obama and Romney campaigns. As users join the site, menshn will expand to cover all...

Sex. It’s no accident. Love these from MTV.

Nice public awareness ads from MTV here, courtesy of Mr Dutton ...

Another funny bit of truth-wisdom from the Oatmeal ...

There's a whole bunch of these ironic logo re-works over at stocklogos.com - some of them pretty poignant too.  I particularly like this example because, for me at least, it demonstrates a fact that I know, but repeatedly choose to ignore each time Apple releases a shiny new piece of macintosh kit ...

This is my favourite reworking of Tracy Emin's Olympic art poster, by Imagination.

Click the picture to see all of the reworkings from some superbly good design agencies, featured at thedrum.co.uk ...

Bit of nostalgia for all you mac fiends out there ... in 1984, Apple bought all the ad space in the November/December edition of Newsweek, and dedicated it to Macintosh.

What ensues is a piece of advertising beauty, even by today's standards ...

The funniest web-based-twitter-centric geeky marketing cartoon ever.

I love sketchy hand drawn design anyway, but when I stumbled across this graphic design house site on YouTube, I fell in love with it instantly.  Nice idea, folks ...

Day one of Movember - hopefully, this will make for an hilarious blow-by-blow flickbook of my moustache growth. No sniggering at the back ...

These trainers scare me.  They scare me because I know I'd do terrible, terrible things to get hold of a pair in the absence of any money to buy them.  They also scare me because it lets me know that, 15 years on, I'm still just the dope kid in the playground that wants to look like Marty McFly ... as a side note, a rather nice 'stunty' campaign from Nike in aid of a good cause.

New meme alert: stocking could very well be the new planking, or indeed the new owling.  I plan to upload my stocking photo on here very soon, quickly becoming the latest David Thorne or Brian Solis and signing a multi million pound book deal to talk about how the internet is a playarea. or something.
