One of many great Bobby McFerrin audience participation vids...

Love the way the audience works so utterly instinctively with him, a true great.

Want a 14% chance of seeing a pervert? FOR FREE?? I did and now my soul feels a little smutty...

Chatroulette is a rhetorically named website i.e. it pairs random strangers for webcam based conversations. Visitors to the website randomly begin an online stranger chat (video and text) with another visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat and initiate another random connection (thanks Wiki). According to this little explanation/experiment video you have a 14% chance of coming face to face with a real life pervert, though I must say this isn't entirely true, it's more like face to penis... lesson learnt there, like I needed more proof that the internet is full of heteroclites...

If you just need to see this for yourself (even after warning of the inevitable eye-rape), head... HERE.
...and if you just want to see some action head to the fucking windows page.

I'm sure you have all seen the first one but...

...now check out Beardyman's (LIVE, real holographic. by Chris Cairns [very clever chap, check his Vimeo out]) version...

I SERIOUSLY need to understand how holograms work, like, now.

Green(er) energy?

Slightly less odd and kooky than my usual posts this is by no means less interesting...
The 'Bloom Box' wants to be in every home in 5-10 years, providing us with greener energy for a smaller price, decide for yourself...

also they have this rather ilusive website... seems something bigs a'gwanin in 23 hours time...
watch THIS space...

I think I can safely speak for the masses when I say I like a nice crumb of cake but bloody hell...

This whole cupcake fad has gone far enough, time to move on to more pressing matters...

...Tiffins?

Fantastic VISA ad...

Ultimately the same as the wedding version but with more warmth (if you pardon the almost undetectable pun)...

Well directed ad, love the progressive thinning as the ad goes on.
Let the floodgates of Africa/football related ads begin...

Penguin... the books not my secret love for the bird...

Penguin books...



Very simple ads from DDB Hong Kong. They really capture what it is to be reading a truly engrossing book and even have the cheek to make you feel jealous at the same time. Could possibly be boiled down even further but good use of the HDR technique.
Word to my Canadian compardre SoSticky for this one...

Old Spice ad...

My most sincere apologies for this getting to you after it has already had over two and a half million views...

What a completely brilliant ad.

Keiichi Matsuda's take on ARs future...

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

Call me a traditionalist but it's actually no joke, my phone lets me hear my friend voices so I don't have to go to them, it texts them so that I don't have to speak to them, it tells them where I am so that I don't have to interact with them. My phone tells me where places are so that I don't have to interact with people or look at a map, it even tells me which direction to go so that I don't need to know street names, I could go on...! If we aren't careful, in 50-60 we will just be blinking into cameras to control our possessions and communicate in the simplest ways possible. Then a real problem will turn up, the 'auto-save the world' feature on the planet will get an error message and an alien with long fingers and 13 brain cells will rock up and take over the earth by poking our corneas like a monkey playing with a new toy... or my imagination could be getting carried away slightly...
