Real or CG. Gran Turismo 5 is blurring the lines even more.

Took a couple of viewings for my eyes to tell the difference on one of the shots.

Technically impressive. Can’t wait to see what the game play is like.

Google Envelopes. In concept beta

Posted: April 5th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Creative, Design, Digital, Social, Technology | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

There’s something really nice about taking something form the digital space and giving it physical form. Few privacy concerns maybe, but I like it as a concept.

Designers Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Moik from the Industrial Design program at Syracuse University came up with this concept called Google Envelopes.

Very cool iPhone “Voice Control” alarm clock app

I’m going to try this out later.

Interesting to go for completely voice / no-touch in an app, but I like the look of it.

Call Max!! Max Clifford gets his pants pulled down on camera

Posted: April 1st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

Looks like someone has finally turned to tables on “PR-guru” and “arsehole extraordinaire” Max Clifford.

The makers on the new film called Star Suckers have released a viral to promote the film. Here’s the blurb:

“We were worried that by catching Max Clifford on undercover camera boasting about the things he does to protect his clients, we might have lost him some business. When the film was released back in October, we wrote to Max telling him what we had done, and his immediate response was to call infamous law firm Carter Ruck and threaten us with an injunction. But if his clients like Simon Cowell found out their their publicist was mouthing off about them like this, it might hit Max’s bottom line. So we made a little advert for Max to help him drum up some more business.”

I’m going to try write something about Starsuckers soon, but you can see the trailer here. Looks like it’s one to watch – http://www.starsuckersmovie.com/

Kinder was my nickname at middle school (Kinder / Kinsella) – but I don’t think I ever realised just how freaky this little guy was.

Chocca Doobie!!

Brilliant 80′s shout from Adam King.
