I’ve been getting into the whole retro / polaroid / seedy looking / over exposed style photography recently. I like the style a lot so I’m probably going to give it a go for myself, see what I can come up with.
I found an iPhone app called ShakeItPhoto which basically just makes any photo into a polaroid. You have to shake it to develop it which was fun once, now it’s just tedious. Here’s a photo Charlotte took of me attempting to play Wonderwall.
I’ve seriously got to start blogging on a more frequent basis if i’m to be the next Bill Gates; because that’s how Bill Gates has made his millions – Blogging! Oh and something to do with a bit of software he created? I dunno. Steve Jobs is more awesome anyway.
Back to whatever it is I started blogging about in the first place. Erm… Twitter! I’ve been using Twitter a lot recently due to the Twitterrific app I have on my iPhone. It’s a free app and it’s dope. If you have more than one Twitter account you can link them up, it’s pretty awesome.
And in other news… I’ve been thinking about what I’ve actually got this for and I don’t actually know. I currently use it to post up work I’ve done and other random drivel that no one wants to hear about. I’ve tried to stay away from putting up cool things I find unless they’re really cool because everyone does that as it is.
Meh, I’m sure i’ll think of something to blog about.
Until next time!
That’s the Viral Ad Network… a company of which The Cheese Grater has just become a part of! At the moment it’s in a 2 week test placement where they look at the traffic and determine which ads would best suit the site and who they’ll target according to the demographic.
That’s just the good stuff, but I have to mention their site. It’s awesome; it has a sort of ‘sticker’ theme going on. But as far as advertising networks go – this one is a stunner, (maybe not the pixelated background, but the rest is nice). Check them out here.
This is Google’s advert that aired during the Super Bowl. It’s a really simple approach to showing how Google’s core service is actually used and has been very effective drawing in millions of views.

Logo concept for our awesome cool society. Probably won’t get used, but who knows.
Long story short, I made cookies. Charlotte (my girlfriend) made cupcakes. Then she threw them on the floor in a spontaneous fit of diabolical rage.
I have no doubt that these are going to be the “next big thing”; they’re awesome and they are getting pumped into the public eye as a survival fashion product for Rambo wannabe guys. I want one! £22 on Firebox.com is way, way to expensive though, so – as they are just carefully braided paracord with a harness clip; I’ll build my own!
I’ve worked out that I could make about 6, maybe 7 of these for under £2-£3, by hand. I need some paracord , a clasp (though I have seen ones made where there is no clasp at all and it just slides on and off – it looks pretty swish) and some crazy knotting know how.
Hello internetz!
I’ll probably post some pics up of when I make it, and then some more of it saving my life, like wrapped round a bears hungry mouth or perhaps me playing cats cradle with it.
