SMASH YOUR FACE BOOK

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

We know people are using social networks to get laid. We know people are using these tools to gather random banana waving hoards. So it comes as no surprise that they’re also using them to coordinate after school punch-ups.

SICKIPEDIA

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

After having Rob Manuel’s ‘The Bumper Book of Sick Jokes” on my desk for a while I’ve become quite partial to a quick sick-hit in the mid afternoon lull to get the energy levels up. As I’ve now reached the end I’m very happy to have found Sickipedia a bottomless resource for those in search [...]

NEWLOGO

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

The age of the static brand is coming to an end. Organisations, companies, institutions, even charities are realizing that having identity schemes that ‘flex’ and adapt to circumstances are more appropriate in the multi-channel, multi-lingual world that brands now inhabit.

Beautiful. Thanks Iain

MIZPEE

Monday, June 18th, 2007

So many mobile apps are brilliant but not actually that useful. Given that most US city authorities don’t seem to think public conveniences are necessary, it’s alway a bit of a challenge for anyone the wrong side of 15 cans of diet coke (which most people are most of the time).

AGE PROJECT

Monday, June 11th, 2007

This kind of thing seems a bit old fashioned but I really like The Age Project. Guess their age, it’s harder than you might think. Put it this way, I wouldn’t want to be a landlord trying to guess who is and isn’t of legal drinking age. I like to be reminded what a poor [...]

LIVING IN A CLOUD OF LOUD

Monday, June 11th, 2007

CDs are now engineered to be extremely loud. Sound quality suffers. This brief video shows the “before and after” effects of industry standard post-recording processing. It’s extremely disturbing what it does to your music.
The general term for this is “Dynamic Range Compression” and actually it has nothing to do with MP3 or AAC data compression. [...]

TIME PHOTO ESSAY

Another great Photo Essay from Time. This one is food around the world.

TATTOOD PIGS

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

I greatly enjoyed these tattood pigs from artist Wim Delvoye. I don’t know why. But i like them. I found them on a Belgian blog called Stuif-Meel that I frequent because it’s really rather good.

Walkit is a nice little web app that shows you the shortest route across town for walkers. Gives you some useful info about your planned route too:

Oh and other news…..
A friend just started HorseBus. Horse Bus is a horse transportation company based in St Albans that serves the surrounding area including herts, beds and bucks [...]
