  • Interior design by light.

    I’m a big fan of light projections that alter the appearance of what they’re projected onto, and this video from Mr Beam is a great example of redecorating a room with light. [vimeo width=”400″ height=”225″]http://vimeo.com/18460233[/vimeo] Two projectors were used on a white room to completely transform the appearance. Thanks to www.mr-beam.nl/project/1 and www.etre.com/blog/2011/02/living_room/at the Etre Blog Read more

  • Placebos, and thinking of brands having the same effect

    There’s a great video on Geary Behavioural Economics Blog whic offers some startling facts about placebos, including how colour, shape, size and volume can drastically alter their effect. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfRVCaA5o18[/youtube] Then 25 lttrs n th alphbt asks readers to “substitute in your mind “brand” for “placebo” The brain eh? Weird. Read more

  • Olympic Stadium compared to Leyton Orient

    Just out of interest I thought I’d take a look at the Olympic website and compare the size of the Olympic Stadium to Brisbane Road, the home of Leyton Orient. Using their maps (www.london2012.com/map.php), I zoomed in at the same level and took screenshots. I’ve photoshoped Brisbane Road ontop of the most recent aerial photo Read more

  • London typographic maps

    I’ve recently put up a new shower curtain, which isn’t usually something to blog about but I’m really pleased with it as it appeases my love of typography and maps. It maps London with only place names marking areas but unfortunately it’s disappeared from the Rocket St George website. It reminds me of a 1.5m Read more

  • My mum’s dog

    Maybe it’s this kind of honesty that gets Richard Bacon his 1,316,602 followers (at time of posting). My mum’s dog is on This Morning right now (the bigger white one). I’m worried it’s got better TV work than I have. Posted at 11:22 10/02/2011 Join him at twitter.com/richardpbacon if you wish. ***UPDATE*** Twitter response from Read more

  • A social media example – not just opinion.

    A good piece about difficulties and successes of using social media, with real examples – not just opinions! “A Positive Response to a ‘Negative’ Tweet“. How refreshing. About a month ago I had this same conversation with my friend Shira Lazar and she said something interesting. The topic was on trying to get someone to stop Read more

  • Great new blog: thepeopleonthetube

    I found a great new blog today: thepeopleonthetube.wordpress.com. It highlights one of the things I miss about working/travelling/living in London – the diversity of people. From amazing clothes to knelling face down on the seats, you’ve got to love the people of London. I always say it’s impossible to really stand out in London, as this photo shows Read more

  • Catching coincidence with a camera. And being honest about it.

    www.designzzz.com has just put together a nice collection of 20 photos which they’ve titled “Photos Taken at the Right Time From the Right Angle” (or in some cases very carefully constructed). The collection caught my eye because it features a picture I’ve seen on the web a few times before taken by Meg Pickard which Read more

  • Did you mean “how kmy next bill chang?”

    Have you ever searched for something on the O2 website? I have. I tried searching for “how my next bill will change”. The website helpfully suggested I may have meant to search for something else:No, I did not mean “how kmy next bill chang?”. The rest of the results weren’t helpful either: Read more
