The house that Tesco built
Incidentally, (following the green news) Tescos are also reportedly moving into house building and will be overseeing the construction of 2,000 homes in the next three years, including 698 luxury apartments (Tesco’s finest range?) situated next to a big new Tesco store. So in other words, even if there’s no local retail market for a…

You’ve been v-cammed
A VCAM is a viewer-created-ad-message, hosted on the Current TV website. Contributors have made ads for anyone from Toyota to T-Mobile to Mountain Dew. Some are distinctly better than others but I loved this one for Sony Camcorders (sorry – can’t embed from this site)

Look out
Not everyday you launch a new magazine so couldn’t let this auspicious occasion pass by without at least a mention on my blog. LOOK is the ‘glossy, fast fashion fix for today’s discerning young woman’ as it says on the blurb. The girls round here seem to like it anyway. It never ceases to amaze…

Great ads, great campaign
Oakie and The Hidden Persuader have posted on some excellent work for Axe in different markets.

Definitely worth a look. I love…

Westminster e-forum
Excellent line up of speakers at the Westminster e-forum on Wednesday including Robin Wight, Alex Wright from Agency.com, Paul Edwards from Publicis, Michael Nutley from New Media Age, and Matt Nicholls from Grand Union. Too many good things to write about in one post. Robin talked a lot about integration, citing the morphing of WCRS…

Mapping the universe
Trying to think about the shape of the universe is like trying to think about what protons in an atom look like – just too extreme to visualize. But now someones made a map of it. It’s taken more than 1000 hours of observations from the Hubble telescope to construct a cosmic ‘scaffold’ of dark…

Aaaah…
Having your pics on your ipod is the modern equivalent of a photo in a wallet but even better to see them on a bigger screen – handy when your train is delayed and you haven’t seen them for a couple of days. Aaaaah….
