Annoying that the embeddable button (above) doesn’t really work with my widget width (you know what I mean, right?). Enjoy this whilst its on my homepage (click play), which will probably be a while, as my publishing behaviour is far from regular so it’ll take some time to move to the next.

I’ve exhausted my ‘booster can’ already, mainly down to the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing… just clicked away on the arrows. Unsure when the booster gets replenished, but I need some speed.. got a long way to go to win this race.
So far I’ve been across some odd blogs, mainly on [...]

Just found a balloon of a Racoon on Faris Yakob’s blog. Clicking through I discovered this upcoming campaign for Orange in the UK.
Poke are responsible [again]. They keep turning out great work for Orange and this looks like another online masterpiece.
What I’ve gleaned from a brief play is, its a balloon race across [...]

Its taken me forever to watch this TED clip, so its no doubt old news to everyone else. Johnny Lee, a human interaction researcher, show’s how the Wii remote can be adapted, at minimal cost, to become a 3d interface for learning and inventive game play.
I like the fact that he’s got a massive [...]

Chris Brogan just highlighted this video post from Gary Vaynerchuk.
The post in my mind captures what the Cluetrain predicted back in 1999, ‘the end of business as usual’. Today, our lives are transparent and on show through the social services that we choose to surround ourselves with, whether its flickr that tells it in [...]

Can your phone do this?
Talk to me… so if the iPhone wasn’t hacked, cracked and genuinely pushed beyond the realms of its supposed purpose in life - this couldn’t of happened. May we all open our lives and platforms to invention and opportunity!!! It’s Friday, I’ve had a beer - bare with me and get [...]

All this week (17-21 December) we have Mr Whitty, the jazz songster, stationed in our reception. Through the magic of the ‘interweb’ you can dedicate a song to a friend and he’ll sing it for you live on webcam. Plus, between the hours of 1-2pm (Sydney time only), its happy hour when one of [...]

Finally we’re live! the time it takes to develop within MySpace is quite astonishing… baring in mind the speed at which the online social world moves. We’ve been working on Lion Nathan’s McKenna Bourbon brand for sometime and our strategy this year was to compliment their online presence with a destination in MySpace called The [...]

We’ve just launched a ‘viral’ (I hate that word), for McKenna Bourbon.
Recipients of the piece think their friend has called into Nova 106.9 (thats in Brisbane) and has miraculously answered a rather tricky question, winning an all expenses trip to NYC for two.
What actually happens is, they’ve visited www.double-trouble.com.au, followed the prompts to enter [...]

1. Two web artists (net.legends) will face-off in a ring to alter a web page – the cyber-ring — live. The resulting changes will be seen by the public on a screen and by web surfers on the net.
2. The artists will face-off for three hours using their skills of design and hacking to assemble [...]
