Mental Detox Week: Something I Read
I’ve not been doing any kind of web-surfing or anything screen based. So all my new info is coming from books and mags. Here’s a favourite bit from the excellent Ocean of Sound by David Toop: And that’s how dub is made ;-)
Mental Detox Week #1
Like I said I’m not really blogging this week. Just uploading notes from paper so I spend as little time as possible on the computer. And never outside my workday window. Read more about Mental Detox Week.

Some more infinite oddness. One scene just morphs into another in a captivating manner. Click here and get sucked in…
Mental Detox Week
Adbusters have changed their Turnoff TV week into Mental Detox Week, its tagline is Escape the Fantasy. It’s a pretty interesting challenge for someone like me. It’s running from 21st-27th April. That’s next week. Eeek. The idea is simple…
Remixed Dancing Videos
I’ve had one of these saved for a while, but when I found the other I thought it was time to post them as a set. I don’t know why, they just tickle me. And this one from Romania (thanks to whoever sent this link to me via del.icio.us – I…
I’m Chatting at Under The Influence
Iris are putting on an interesting event next week in London. It’s totally free so go and sign up if you like the look of it. It’s called Under the Influence and it’s 20 talks spread around 5 pubs in Borough Market. Each one has a…
KDDI Eye Project

The UNICEF Tap Project
I’d never seen the full case study of this amazing campaign before. It’s just great. Probably old news to many of you. But still brilliant.
It’s a Safetergent WTF
A classic: “It’s not a detergent it’s a safetergent”. I just saw this on TV and couldn’t believe it. I didn’t think I’d be able to share it, but thanks to the all-seeing YouTube I can. Hooray.
Google Ads Phishing
Got this today: Damn them. It’s a fake that leads to a well disguised Chinese phishing site. Looks like it’s been happening quite a bit. The copy is slightly different but the technique is similar. Then I got sucked into reading about…
Seth Godin Kicked Me In The Nuts
Ah man. Sometimes you can’t help but link to one of Seth’s posts. It feels a bit lame and boring because everyone reads his blog anyway (don’t they?). But sometimes he kicks you in the metaphorical gonads with one of those, clever…
