What will Barbie be next? That’s what Mattel are asking, in a cute campaign I spotted in New York earlier this week. She’s had over 120 different careers! Over the years, Barbie’s been many things, including a Doctor, an Astronaut and a Race Car Driver – quite a bit more prolific than the average 7 [...]
This Is Just Lovely
The sunset at 1:11 and the view out of the airplane at 2:57 are really nice. This music is like a lovely sunny afternoon. More from Washed Out here if you’re interested. Lovely stuff.
Scenes From New York
Apologies for the radio silence, but I’ve been off recharging my batteries in Miami and New York. Two weeks away, with very little internet access (other than the wi-fi I was able to steal) does not good digital connectivity make. Anyway, I saw lots and lots of interesting things on my trip. 1. Disused storefronts [...]
BT Tower Takeover!
Saw this as I was walking to work today. Did you know that these panels are two stories high and are the equivalent to the length of half a football pitch?
The Book Seer
Just discovered this lovely little site. 5 minutes in and I’d already bought 3 books and signed up to an Amazon Prime free trial. I’m suggestible, aren’t I?
Beep, Beep

Zip Car have released a truly awesome app and [...]
Creating Memorable (Chocolate) Experiences

Curry are doing it with their new Currysdigital concept stores, Comet are creating their own concept stores and HMV are starting to roll ‘experience’ focused outlets, with areas that people can test games, hang out and buy snacks. In Tel [...]
There’s An App For That
The boyfriend and I have been away in Israel for the last week (more on that in upcoming posts) and serendipity brought us three iPhone apps that became (to varying degrees) very useful in our travels. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that all of these need to become Blackberry apps soon, [...]
Cards of Change
Just been laid off and need some inspiration? Check out what this lot have done with their formerly redundant business cards. See them all here
Breathtaking
This is very dangerously close to becoming a photo blog. Getting a Blackberry Bold with a fairly decent camera means that I’ve been more active in taking photos of interesting things I see. Like this. Charlie walked into work this morning and I thought he’d picked up a smoking habit over the weekend – fancy [...]
