Digital meets analogue, online meets offline
As the offline/analogue and online/digital worlds start to blend even more, I thought I’d share some favourite stuff I’ve been tagging over the past few months. I love this stuff and am really excited about the web weaving its way into more and more stuff.
Google Earth meets a 60ft Phallus.
Blogging meets a blackboard and [...]

Steve Jobs flipping it to IBM
Sorry, couldn’t resist posting this for a number of reasons. Here’s Steve Jobs flipping it to IBM, teaching us that invaluable lesson that anything you do offline (past, present and especially future) is more than likely to make it online – especially if you’re a world-famous CEO.

Wow. Ben has just spotted this. Jed05 created a level on Little Big Planet in order to propose to his girlfriend. First, mariage proposals on Twitter, now in-game proposals. Just wow. < voiceofanoldperson> What is the world coming to? < /voiceofanoldperson>
“Blender Defender”
I actually think this is a bit cruel. But I appreciate the geekery involved and the website created to showcase the project. And did find it a little bit funny, if I’m being really honest.

I actually thought it would be more as this figure doesn’t seem that impressive, but [...]

Nerdcore Rising
I’m pretty late to this but I’ve just finished watching Nerdcore Rising. Amazingly cool, genuine, funny collection of people and a great insight into the genre’s growth in the US.

General Geekery
Whilst Suw is on ‘blogging sick leave’ I’ve been geeking out with a guest post over at Kits and Mortar. I wanted to write about cats, GPS and stuff and it turned into a rather lengthy post. The first of a few I hope, thanks Suw! It’s really funny though to be blogging away from [...]

I know I should probably keep working on this, but…
Love this [via here]. That’s me on the right that is, quite a lot of the time.
World of iPod: A tale of love (from Microsoft?!)
Cheeky little video this morning. Such a simple idea that a brand could have done. But it didn’t. Paul Tosolini did it. And Paul is New Media Business Manager at Microsoft, which is pretty funny given the amount of Apple kit he clearly has (and loves).
