AgencyTart – Nice Contact Page
A superb use of ‘punch in the aorta’ when applied to blog spammers: From a new site on my blogdar – agencytart.wordpress.com a sweetly vitriolic blog with a passionate hatred of lots of bad things. I hope the author finds their negativity…
NewsGlobe
Charticles one day, NewsGlobes the next. It’s all getting a bit ‘Day Today‘ round these parts. NewsGlobe is a project that’s come out of the next.yahoo.net stables. There’s a description of how it came about here. For last month’s Yahoo!…
What is a Charticle?
I was reading a piece in the New York Times about goings-on at Gawker when I came across this quote from Choire Sicha (the outgoing managing editor as far as I can tell): “I don’t want to write a top 10 list in my life, ever. I don’t want…
Scrabble Seating
I really like this ‘seating installation’ at the Bloomberg offices. Designed by Stephen Reed – see more at his site.…
Coming To Crackunit to Score Shecock?
You should be ashamed of yourself! This popped up as a search term people use to find the site in my stats. I’m shocked and appalled to have such filthmongers visiting the site.…

A New Mix For The Weekend
Actually that’s a lie. It’s not a ‘new’ mix. It’s a mix from last weekend. But I’m posting it now. This is from Asi’s birthday party last Friday. It was a party in a pub. So I felt I had to play a bit more ‘rowdy’ than I normally would to…
International YouTube Skate Cyber Haterz
This is one of the best little YouTube community dramas that I’ve ever seen. I’m going to try and tell the story as best I can, but I’m sure I’m not going to do it justice… It all starts with popininmyhood posting this video entitled…
Powerpoint Karaoke
All this Pecha Kucha stuff is starting to get a bit dreary. The idea of PowerPoint Karaoke seems a lot more random and challenging. Basic idea is: people stick real presentations ‘in a hat’, then presenters get allocated a random…
All You Can Eat Hip-Hop
Yoiks! Here’s a definitive history of hip hop, all mixed up and ready for download. I’m not a massive fan of MTV Base style R&Bized modern hip hop, and Westwood makes me want to purchase knock-off Uranium and do something really bad to…
Monkeys and Drums and Stuff
Scamp has written a really good piece about ideas and their appropriation by advertising. It specifically talks about the Cadbury’s Gorilla and the fact that it was originally pitched to someone else, and there was once a drumming Gorilla…
