Thought for today: only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday…
Just some random musings and sites today. Enjoy. A Adobe Museum of Digital Media. A cool and interesting idea where a museum dedicated to Digital Media is developed entirely online. You have to play around with it, as it’s a bit odd. If anything though, it will remain etched in my mind for moment of […]
Laugh and the world laughs with you…
Usually writing a mail about innovation is simple this time of year, as our imaginations about the ‘next big thing’ are fuelled by the technical wizardry that is on display at the world technology fair (known as CeBIT). Unfortunately, this year sees a multitude of variations on the tablet theme, alongside numerous pontifications from the […]
An introduction to the world of unconferences, starting with #trulondon
As the #TRU London unconference draws to an end, my thoughts turn to what I have learned. This was my first ever unconference and whilst day 1 followed a slightly more established footprint, with most speakers using some form of PowerPoint slides to begin with (much to the chagrin of some of the unconference hardliners), […]
Friday mail (the short one)
Four sites, all which caught my (or the team’s) eye: Thinking Space from the Economist – nice flash site which gives you access to the collective brains of prominent planners within the advertising world. Chrome Experiments (view in Chrome) – a selection of sites and games which are used to test what you can do […]
Changing the world – one pixel at a time
It’s been a blistering start to the year in just about every quarter. Unless you happen to be a Liverpool fan. Anyway, as the UK economy slowly drags itself out of the mire of the past couple of years, we are seeing the rise of a lot more sites that draw on the power of […]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholden
The Nativity is such a compelling story for a number of reasons, but my favourite is how it challenges our preconceptions. Specifically our notion of status. A human-born deity with the power to change the world comes into being in a setting of abject poverty and humility. He is not a king, nor the son […]
Friday Festive Fun
I set the team a competition to discover the best company Christmas offering. Feast yourself and indulge on the seasonal array of goodies. And let us know which you think is the best.

TED lecture: do schools kill creativity?
Great presentation from TED. I’m testing the beta version of the YouTube player, so if the link below doesn’t appear. sorry!
One World. 24 Hours. 6 Billion Perspectives.
Earlier this week I came across an interview with Sir Martin Sorrell, where he was talking about the future of advertising. In it he says that content is king. He’s right, but I think that its more than this. Advertising isn’t just about content (rich content though it may be), it is now essential to […]
