Pick a colour

Yum!
Also of interest is the re-versioning of the get-a-mac ad’s for the UK using Mitchell & Webb.

The perfect choice for sure, but what makes it interesting is that it’s the first time in years and years that Apple have rolled out anything but the US ad’s with the simplest of currency changes. The US […]

The art of consumption

I love photo-mosaics. I find them fascinating.
Some nice photography by Chris Jordan that uses them as info-graphics to highlight American consumptive behaviour.
Also check out his earlier portraits of mass consumption for lots of beautiful pictures of rubbish.

Never mind the bollocks

I’m still reeling from the weekend. I have finally seen Paul Simonon play bass. And then some. Let me explain.
I caught the opening night of the The Good, The Bad & The Queen tour at the Trinity in Bristol on Saturday night (you can learn more about the band in my earlier post if you […]

Not quite the acid-folk fusion sound i’ve been hunting for all my life, but very pleasant nonetheless - and bonus […]

Morale boost

Nice idea from Supermundane

I’m on a go-slow

We’re having some really crap weather here in England.
It seems to have been rainy, windy and dark most of the time since before Christmas. Occasionally the sun punches through for a while to reveal some gorgeous skies, but mainly it’s been grey and cold and miserable for days on end.
So not so good for […]

He didn’t disappoint …

Drool. But Q4 for Europe?! And it’ll be on any network bar Orange. Betcha.

My five things you never knew (or wanted to) …

My turn to fess up, having been tagged by Claire in this season’s blog meme.
