Bobby McFerrin is awesome!

Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale at the event “Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus,” from the 2009 World Science Festival. He asks for the audiences’ participation in this activity, and the result is quite magical!

Make calls from Twitter!

A new third-party offering from Jajah known as Jajah@call went into beta Thursday morning that will allow Twitter users to initiate a two-way voice chat with other users by typing "@call @username"--where "username" is someone's Twitter ID--into any Twitter client. During the beta period, the company said, the calls will be limited to two minutes, but the company will evaluate that length during beta. However, it sees the two minute period--after which the call will end--as "the verbal equivalent of a tweet."

Awesome advert by SABC 1 in South Africa where whites have reversed roles with blacks to produce an interesting concept. Set in Soweto South Africa. - makes a good point though!

Kanye West is a douche bag

Kanye West Asked To Leave VMAs After Rant Against Taylor Swift

Kanye West was asked to leave Radio City Music Hall not long after he crashed the MTV Video Music Awards stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

The rapper rushed onto the stage and immediately protested Swift's win, saying Beyoncé instead deserved the honor.

"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," 'Ye proclaimed after he pulled the microphone out of the country star's hands. B looked stunned as she sat by in the audience.

Kids and technology

While there is much to be said about the digital age and how it will affect the generations of next, this is probably a bit more of a light-hearted take on the matter.

responsible parenting?

so the other night we were all commenting on this 16 year old girl who was setting off to navigate the globe ... solo!
the news was mentioning all the potential threats and dangers she could come up against which sparked a conversation over whether or not this was a responsible thing to do - not only from her side, but from her parents too - and the nine network that had secured exclusive rights to cover the story (isn't that what it's all about these days).
I couldn't help but worry about what this little girl was about to experience (though some good character building no doubt).

anyway, my worries were soon pacified upon news that she hadn't even managed to complete her trial run without hitting a 60,000 tonne coal tanker. I mean honestly, it's not a packet of cigarettes is it?! It's a bloody coal tanker! How can you miss that!

Relevant and contextual advertising... at its worst

A campaign that launched a while back that, contrary to the opinions of some other colleagues, I originally thought was pretty quirky and hit-the-spot - just spoiled it for me.

Telstra's 'Call Mum' campaign got the message across last year on Xmas day, and then again on New Year's Day, through sky-writing their 'Call Mum' message over the thousands of people laying on bondi beach.

Great work guys! But on father's day... maybe the message is not that relevant. You probably would have been better extending the campaign reaching for people to 'call dad' - but hey...

Augmented Reality contd...

So earlier I posted about an insane new technology exposed at the TED talks. Here's another follow up from The Astonishing Tribe

Lessons to be learned

I wanted to do a post about the genius that is SMBC (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal).
But in taking today's post, i think there are so many lessons we can take out of it.
The first, and most important, would probably be a lesson in the importance of SIMPLICITY!
