We had our farewell party last night at The Metropolitan Hotel. It was a great night that continued on at ours afterwards. A lot of fun, perhaps a little too much fun…

Coors launches social media campaign to get women drinking beer
Coors has launched a social media campaign in an attempt to work out why those of the fairer sex generally steer clear of the amber nectar.
Gill Edwards, a self confessed beer lover, has been involved with the campaign and has posted some interesting stats about women and their perceptions to beer following a survey that [...]
Archival footage of Hitler talking about surfing
Archival footage has been uncovered that shows Hitler was a surfer, a gamer, into his cars, but couldn’t spell. Or is there just a new Downfall mashup?
When Oliver Hirschbiegel was making Der Untergang (Downfall) I am sure he could never have imagined that the most moving scene in his film would be mashed up in [...]
The death of regional newspapers does not necessarily signal the death of local news
A cacophony of noise on the web and elsewhere is heralding the death of local news as more and more regional newspapers go out of business. But does the death of regional newspapers necessarily signal the death of local news? I think not.
This post was prompted by the reading of two different texts. The first [...]

Look out Australia the Uzbeks are coming
Given I will shortly be travelling through Uzbekistan, I think this video by Lowe Sydney to promote the upcoming Socceroos vs Uzbekistan video is rather timely.
According to Julian Cole commenting on Mumbrella, this was the eight most viewed sports clip of the week on You Tube – not bad at all.

Missed opportunity for Gaytime and Unilever?
This week I read on Mumbrella, that Streets, an Australian arm of Unilever had made a media buy for Golden Gaytime to coincide with Sydney Mardi Gras. Brilliant I thought at first, except rather than run new creative they ran old creative from the 1980s…

The future according to Microsoft
I first came across this video of the future by Microsoft visionaries on Steve Clayton’s blog, but have started to see it turn up in a few different places now.
Microsoft gets quite a bad rap a lot of the time for not being innovative. Working at the company I can understand to some degree why this perception is the case, but in my mind it is unfair. Hopefully this video will start to change those perceptions.
Of course the vast majority of the technology in the video is still at the concept stage, but a lot of it is not completely pie in the sky. The Surface Computer is available today.
Enjoy a Microsoft vision of 2019.
