A Mix I Cranked Out For Christmas
This is not a mix featuring Christmassy tracks. It just so happens that I’ve got round to finishing it a week before Christmas. Also, they say that Christmas is a time for miracles, and the fact I’ve finished this at all is a miracle. Our…
Everyone Loves a Faaaaake!
For TGI Friday by the Viral Factory. Personally I’m a little bit over this kind of ‘amazing trick’ video. But screw me. I’m not the target audience for this video. And there’s one thing that the Viral Factory guys normally get right, it’s…
Looping Up The House
I love this
This Must Be The End of the World
Google cannont be found or may not exist. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!…
That’s a Cappuccino!
It’s Poke Hack Day. And we’re doing something that’s close to my heart. It’s about ending sub-standard cappuccino. Too often we get fobbed off with lattes in cappuccino’s clothing. Big, heavy, milky coffee. Made with burned milk. Basically…
The Teens’ Speech
I’ve been very good at not using the blog to punt Poke projects recently. But here’s one I think it’s OK to flog. Not because I’ve been involved with it (I haven’t), but because it’s important. And not in a ‘driving sales of a big fat…

Warhol Paints Debby Harry – On An Amiga
It’s been around a while (well the original was made in 1985 for the launch of the Amiga), but the clip is new to me. Such a great product demo, I love Warhol saying that he’s never used a computer before and he’d been waiting for the…
Mouth Eyes
So disturbing… Made me feel really queezy, but I sort of like it.
Ikea Facebook Tagging Promotion
This made me swear aloud in the same way that Whopper Sacrifice did. Brilliantly simple. Brace yourselves for a host of imitators
Less Mad Hamsters, More Happy Pigs
It’s a little known fact that I was part of the team that made the first Purple Ronnie website, and the first Edward Monkton site too. Neither of the sites bear any resemblance to how they used to look. Working on the two sites brought me…
Barry Norman’s Pickled Onions
I was skeptical. What does an aging film critic know about pickling? Probably about the same as an aging film star knows about salad dressing. But I’ve eaten my words, just like I’ve eaten most of the jar of these wonderfully spicy pickled…
