I don’t often post on my blog I am afraid. Stuff for my friends is on FB and even there I have decided to increase the privacy settings and delete the photo albums after realising that people I hardly knew had access to years of personal information and images. Not the most riveting read on a Saturday afternoon but I recommend people check out the new FB privacy settings that came out at the end of last year. I didn’t realise so much had changed.

As for sharing photos with the world I use Flickr; for my professional profile, LinkedIn;  for my location and travel I use Dopplr. My t-shirt printing company, Indigo Clothing is also available for the world to see. And so this blog is more like a hub or launchpad to some of my online content but not a place one should or needs to regularly visit.

Drench

Great piece of marketing with the classic 90’s SNAP dance tune and Brains from Thunderbirds! It seems to be trying to tap into the success of the near-cult Cadbury’s ‘Gorilla’ advert which also featured a strong retro anthem and a non-human character.

The Bill2

The Natural History Museum once again plays host to the Shell Wildlife Photographer of The Year 2008 exhibition. A truly delightful way of spending an hour of your time. The above photograph by Wesley Cooper, was a favourite – creative and captures the essence of the animal without showing its face.

Airfoil

Airfoil400

We have just got a AirPort Express in the new Indigo office. Considering these things were out a couple of years ago we are hardly pioneers here, but this great gadget that allows us to play our iTunes music on Roland’s old HiFi, which sits on top of the boiler cupboard. This cool ‘white plug’ has just become a whole lot cooler thanks to this wicked little app, Airfoil, by a company called Rogue Amoeba. This piece of software can ‘hijack’ the audio stream from any application like Last.fm or Winamp and pipe the music to Roland’s speakers. 2.7 Mb and a bargain at $25 dollars.

London is apparently the most expensive city in the world to eat out in:

According to the new Zagat guide, the average meal in the capital now costs an eye watering £39.09, up 2.9% from last year. In Paris the cost is £35.37, Tokyo £35.10, New York £19.30 and Los Angeles £15.63, for three courses with one glass of wine.
