The number of small but pleasing World Cup software add-ons is growing by the day. Remember the little Google Maps vuvuzela man? Cool stuff like that. Of course they’re trivial gimmicks, but they’re official tips of the cap to our lovely country, so it gives me great pleasure to present YouTube‘s World Cup gimmick offering.
You’ll recall the awesome ad that my buddy Colin Jeffery in the States (The Advertising Guy) did with Goldfish (The Blonde & Baby Jesus).

A lot of people have had their hearts broken in this world. What’s your tale? Maybe it’s the guy in your office, he’s perfect, and you’re invisible. Maybe your wife wakes up after 30 years of blissful marriage and tells you that from here on in, her name is Gerald. Or maybe you walked in […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life.

Wow. You know when an entire society grows up with a certain ultra-influential cartoon character, and that cartoon character subtly peddles cocaine to other cartoon characters, and then suddenly in the 1970s, when all the guys and girls who grew up with that character become the first generation to vigorously export cocaine around the world?

FireFox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera…Bloggers can get pretty tetchy when it comes to their choice of internet browser.

A few decades after its conception, the Star Wars lightsaber is here, and like everything worth buying, it’s on sale on the internet.

More often than not, the random assortment of gadgets that find their way onto my browser have absolutely no use whatsoever. But every now and then I stumble upon (trademark!) inventions that can truly improve our quality of life.
“Taf” from Sketchbooktrails contacted me about doing an oil painting of yours truly. I had never had an “oil” done of me and was more than flattered by the gesture – especially since she said she was also doing one of Goldfish (The Blonde and Baby Jesus) “Sure thing,” I told her. “Do I have […]
