I'm trying to refute Coopers theory that planners have shit shoes. Flo is on my side and took this pic in a brainstorm today. My new Nikes are nang.

Want one. Internet Meme T-shirt from Chop Shop. Question is - can you name all of them? No. Neither could I. Luckily, there is a helpful Flickr cheatsheet.
The lovely Maylis in the planning team put our Dare Planning Manifesto through Wordle - a natty little tool for creating word clouds from documents and sites. It's intriguing to see the things that we bang on about most in the department.
The "People will need digital" in the middle is rather satisfying. As are prominent words like "ideas", "client", "brief", "creative" and "problem".
More worryingly - as pointed out by Cheeky - "Piles" is more significant than "Research", "Facebook" and "Strategy". Perhaps we need to get comfier chairs for the planning team...
Terribly excited by this. Spore - the long awaited evolution game from Maxis - has launched an online creature creator. Soooo much fun. And such a brilliant interface. Go download it now and play.
The cleverest thing about the creator, is that you can film you freshly evolved monster performing tricks, and then get it automatically uploaded to YouTube. My little monster - Ewarwoomonster - is shaking his thing in the video above.
This is a brilliant way of advertising Spore using UGC. Content is "sporing" all over the web, all prior to the September launch. I'm even tempted to join in the Spore dance off...
Becks Fusions, Live Studio, David Sparshott from YCN TV on Vimeo.
The very cool guys over at YCN have kicked off our Beck's Live Art project good and proper. They are opening up their studio space for anyone who cares to go along and give it a go. They've even created a blog to keep track of it all. If you fancy a go - you can email Johanna at YCN on their blog.
Love the track that you have to create art to too. Does it offend you yeah! are my new fave band.
6 days old on Youtube. 2.5 million views. The man is a legend. This is brilliant advertising. And incredible fun.
Ooooh. Our essay is out today in Campaign. Hope you appreciate my flowery shirt. And Toby took his planner glasses off and everything. More exciting than the essay is the new blog that we have started off the back of it. Essays aren't intrinsically very digital. And shouting out our opinion is a little bit boradcast for our tastes. After all, we are about "doing" not "saying". So the doing is done on the blog.
Have a squiz and join in the fun on This is an ad.
This is just the sort of thing that I'm getting all excited about going to Sonar to see. The ZX spectrum Orchestra. Musical geekery from the chaps behind the Modified Toy Orchestra.
Fair bit of similarity with that rogue Radiohead-remix-Nude-for-us competition entry that never was that has been doing the rounds on t'internet.
In other Sonar and gaming machine malarky. I'm excited, but equally terrified about going to see DJ Scotch Egg and his mental Gameboy Gabba.
