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…
Some pics below. For all the images go to my Flickr page.

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
Image above, which I edited, was from here.
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 [...]

Me and MJW immortalised in cartoon form

My friend Charlie sent me the Current TV cartoon embedded above this afternoon.
Whilst I found this quite funny it is a little eerie due to the likeness of the two characters to myself and good friend Matthew White. Adding to the eeriness is [...]

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.

One month and counting
Image borrowed from here.
It is exactly one month until Elizabeth and I fly the London nest and start our journey east along the Silk Road.

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…
I have embedded the creative below.
Umm I am a PR [...]

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.
