The first event in Team 23red’s quest to fundraise money for Whizz-kidz was “Tasty Cake Tuesday”. A range of delights were prepared by our stunning group of international chefs. They included Chocolate Badboy Brownies, Super Scones, Brill Banoffee Sponge Cake, Cunning Cup Cakes, Crunchy Peanut Crisps and Chunky Cookies. This was all followed up with a Quintessential [...]
OK, rubbish title. You try and think of something with ‘bluff’ cleverly inserted into the title. Alternatively I could have gone with a ’straight’ headline. Ha ha. In recent years the poker scene has simply exploded, both on and offline and it seems to be showing no sign of slowing down, in spite of legislation [...]
Thinking of adding some fun, interactive art to your offices?
Here’s a really sweet light installation made up of little touch-sensitive hexagons called ‘Light Brix’ which can be switched on and off individually by anyone wandering past. Also, the ‘canvas’ could theoretically be made as big as you like by simply adding more ’Brix’ to it.
It looks like great fun and [...]
Those crazy binary boys at Microsoft have come up with new image software that in their words “cracks open the opaque nature of pictures and allows your PC to look into them.”
So, what does this mean in English I hear you all cry?
Well, what it means is that we can now all play at being [...]
You’ve probably got most things in life sussed, but what about money? Cue a new website from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) designed to give you the facts about money and cut through the jargon.
The FSA undertook a research project that revealed one in five people between the ages of 18-24 owed more than £10,000. [...]
When I arrived at Venice Airport just recently, I was welcomed by a luggage conveyor belt made up as a roulette table. Although I have never been much of a gambler, I must have had beginners luck as my bag came out on 23red.
You may not have heard of Annie Leibovitz but you would have definitely seen her photos. They have graced the pages of some of the worlds most famous publications – Rolling Stone, Vogue, and advertising campaigns for American Express and the Gap. Her fame increased when she photographed John Lennon just hours before he died.
The image of Demi [...]
Has anyone else seen this strange message on the dot matrix near Camino off Pentonville Road? I’m not sure what or who this refers to – whether it’s some kind of secret message for the voyeurs of Kings Cross or a local company that serves people with ‘special’ tastes? Maybe it’s a tribute to this [...]
It’s an interesting essay question, particularly in the context of social marketing. Here, increasingly, the challenge is to get the public to behave in ways that will benefit society at large, rather than informing them of this ideal behaviour. In short we’re aware of what we should be doing, the Government needs to find creative [...]
For those of you who missed it and all those who would like to explore the sites featured in my presentation today, I am going to provide a topline summary of what was covered and links to all the great websites featured. I’ve added a few we sadly didn’t have time to present too…
Online is growing [...]
Just been reading about a rather creative buzz campaign for the new V&A exhibition, Cold War Modern: Design 1945 – 1970. Using the theme of conspiracy and secret agents, it captured the attention of a group of bloggers, who could then be counted on to pass on the story to their blog audiences.
London-based bloggers with [...]
The BBC site has been refreshed for a while and definitely worth a visit if you havn’t done so already. The new site offers a lot more flexibility allowing you to customize the site to your location, preferred topics and colour. The topics are interactive allowing you to move them about add and delete recent [...]
I ventured into a world of the weird and even more weird when we took a tour of the RIPLEYS Believe IT OR NOT Museum, it is located in London’s Piccadilly Circus.
You will find three floors of outstanding artifacts, oddities, and unique exhibits from around the world at this museum with many of the items [...]
Further proof that the Japanese are a far superior nation. They have only gone and got rid of boring old human waiters and introduced monkey butlers to a restaurant in Tokyo. The two macaque monkeys bring hot towels and drinks to customers and get soya beans for tips. Brilliant. An answer to rubbish service in some [...]
Those lovable, scruffy urchins from Oxfordshire are at it again. Yes, Radiohead have once more produced a great little music video to go with one of their great little songs. And this time they didn’t even use any cameras or lights to shoot it.
They instead decided to use two different technologies to capture 3D images of themselves and various [...]
On 15th July the newly formed 23red Rhinos netball team took to the court for the first time in the inaugural ISP Netball Tournament.
The team got off to a steady start, against Logistix and were really unlucky not to win (the game ended in a draw). The second game on court against CI Gulls (Corporate Innovations) [...]
