So clever x 2

Don’t know what about you but I can get fairly irritated at the odd tube station that doesn’t have the next train display – I don’t mind waiting, it’s part of life, I just hate not knowing how long I have to wait… I’m therefore a sucker for everything that makes your ‘dead time’ moments [...]

I Want. I have

I’m loving the work of Christine and Justin, a couple from New York that run this ongoing online gallery / project . “Each painting shows one thing we want, and sells for the price of the real item. So you can buy A Slice of Pepperoni for $3.00 or Dinner at Nobu for $152.00. When [...]

Pet Shop Boys – Seven Days of Christmas

Go on and play…

Sampling Serendipitous(ish)

Today’s morning I stumbled upon this talented beatboy: Dub FX ‘Love Someone’ from Ben Dowden on Vimeo. Then later Tom introduced me to this lovely tree-sampler: Diego Stocco – Music From A Tree from Diego Stocco on Vimeo.

The law of the few?

Not really a silly moment in techno a-la Taitos but a very telling video from the point of view of understanding human behaviour, herd, infectious, imitation, influencer and how we can spontaneously come together and have fuck loads fun Cheers Tom

In praise of KideoPlayer

who said that websites can’t make you cry? KideoPlayer, the new digitoy from Tom of Poke NY just made both my digital strategist self and my daddy self cry with delight. It’s a super-easy, interactive, fun and safe way for parents and babies/toddlers to “channel surf” YouTube together and find fantastic content. For now, it’s [...]

Whodunnit?

In the recent post (the debate continues) I unintentionally arrived to a grimy Sturgeon’s conclusion. The main reason that most of the stuff we see is ‘meh’ at best is that it’s simply VERY difficult to pull out something truly great – whatever is that you’re doing – digital, TV ads, literature, science or art, [...]
