Film related smiles
August 29, 2009
More reasons to love the internets. You ramble around it and find lovely creative people just doing stuff for their own amusement.
First up, Three Frames. Hypnotic.
Next, Ilovehotdogs. A film captured in a few screen shots.
(Skatetown USA)
Movies In Frames. One movie, four frames.
(Point Break)
Screenshots. Someone who has screen-grabbed the title of every movie he’s ever watched. Wow.
Welcome to last year
May 19, 2009
I entertained myself greatly for all of today when I changed my facebook language to pirate. Everyone should do this. Or rather everyone probably did it for a day way back ages ago (like, so last year duh) when everyone heard about it. I’ve been blissfully unaware of the delights of checking your ‘bottle o’messages’ or liking a link by saying ‘it be pleasin to me eye’. They’ve translated everything, it’s brilliant: adverts be ‘hawkin’; events be ‘grog fests’; you can scrawl on people’s planks (haha), or share by ‘divving the spoils me hearties’. There is nothing that is not amusing about this me mateys.
Arrrrr.
If you ruled the world…
April 11, 2009
I’m not entirely sure what I would do if I ruled the world. Probably make David Tennent my boyfriend and have the rivers made of tea. We at Dare with Vodafone have been busy asking facebook what they would do if they ruled the world and it seems that everyone has lots to say. About 4000 comments in 2 days. Some barking mad, some with dreadful spelling and shouty capitals, some heart warming, and some stomach churning.
What would you do if you ruled the world? Join the thronging masses and let Vodafone know. The good (and doable ones) Vodafone will actually set about in making happen. Nice hey?
Listening to a website
April 9, 2009
I read a post called my internet a few months ago that made me think a lot. Made me think a lot and get a little bit more annoyed at bad user design and information architecture that I would have done ordinarily.
So what is my internet? My internet is one that doesn’t blast me with music when I land on a website. It’s also one that let’s me choose my own pA33woRd, and never ever resizes my browser. There’s lots more my internet is and isn’t – and each person’s internet is different. I find talking to IAs such as the brilliantly prolix John Gibbard is the best way of getting tips of how I can improve my internet. Try it… go look at someone else’s internet and see what you find out.
But back to listening to a website. I hate websites, flash websites especially, that have a soundtrack that automatically plays and plays loud. You know the ones: edgy, sports or lifestyle bollocks. One that cost 1million pounds and has no intrinsic use what so ever to anyone except to look pretty, load slowly, and annoy most of it’s visitors. However, I have been listening to a website all morning. Glade. Their soundtrack is awesome. Hardly surprising given they’re a dance music festival.
Anyone else found a nice website to listen to?
Holy Shit. Twitter broke
February 11, 2009
Twitter makes it okay with a nice fail picture.
Calm is not quite restored.
In other twitter related news, I’ve ordered my twitter username as a necklace from the very lovely people at Couch Objects. Delighful, geeky and pretty (just like me, obv).

Where’s Live Guy?
November 13, 2008
The new campaign for Vodafone is now live. And it’s just like Where’s Wally but with a real man and real prizes to be won instead of the private smug feeling inside you get when you spot the grinning idiot amongst the medieval bears dancing round a fireplace made of balloons. Er right. Back to the plot.
He is of course Live Guy and he’s racing around the country starting in Edinburgh this Monday 17th November with his trusty netbook hinting at his wearabouts via twitter, facebook; piscassa and youtube; and if that wasn’t enough a GPS tracker pings his location to a google maps doo-dar just to keep him on his toes. What is he running from? You of course dear reader. And if you catch him (literally run up to him, grab him, and say the magic words) then you get a free netbook with built in mobile broadband from Vodafone. Everyone likes a chase yes? Especially when there’s prizes and clues involved (and maybe a kiss if you’re lucky just like at school).
Where's Live Guy?

It’s time for the fresh young things to think about what they want to do with their expensive degrees: bum around being a student for a further 2 years (like what I did) or get a real job?
