May 1st is fast approaching and the future of London hangs in the balance – who will be leading us for the next four years? Will it be Ken? Boris perhaps? Maybe even Brian Paddick? If you’re struggling with who these guys are, let alone what they stand for, you might want to log onto Vote Match. You simply answer a few questions about issues that affect Londoners, and it tells you which of the candidates suits you the most.
Of course, this should be used as a guide only and nothing can take the place of a bit of good old fashioned research on each of the candidates, but this seems like a good place to start – it’s fun too!
Meanwhile, across the pond, Clinton and Obama continue to slug it out. No one knows more about political campaigning than the Americans, and when they’re not tearing strips off each other in the hope of swaying voters, they’re coming up with quirky tools like Logobama. Logobama is a tool which offers people the chance to customise Obama’s campaign logo and insert a picture of themselves. Customised logos are starting to pop up all over the internet on various sites.
Clinton is doing some cool stuff too, not least her Jack Nicholson montage video on YouTube.
Social networks – they’re everywhere these days, aren’t they? But while Facebook seems to be hemorrhaging users, and MySpace gets overtaken by Wikipedia, it seems that the next generation of kids are already hooked on something far more futuristic.
He’s happy ‘cos he’s the future
Today brought the news that Club Penguin and Nicktropolis will be joined by a new virtual world for popular (and US Evangelical baiting) kids cartoon, Sponge Bob Squarepants. All of this may seem like child’s play but it does make you realise that kids growing up in an internet age where social networks and virtual worlds are the norm, will want something a great deal more immersive by the time they’re of University age.
So, while Second Life may have ended up as a curiosity – for the public and for brands - it seems that the future for such virtual worlds might be more rosy. Google’s long-rumoured virtual Google Earth seems particularly interesting. Who knows, maybe your kids will one day see Facebook in the same way we see Saga Holidays or Reader’s Digest. Will Facebook one day look like this?
For the last two weeks the Sky team has been leaving the safety of London for the strange and far away land of Leicestershire.
Why I hear you cry? To see a man about a shed of course. This, however, is no ordinary shed - Mr Cook of Market Harborough is the proud owner of the ULTIMATE garden shed. While it looks perfectly normal from the outside, it is actually full of the most hi tech equipment known to man. With a lap top, flat screen TV and games console, the final service Mr Cook wanted was Sky HD.
This techno-tastic utopia came to the attention of Sky’s Installation Team when they received Mr Cook’s unusual request for Sky HD to be installed in his shed.
Mr Cook explains: “My wife always joked that I used to spend more time in the shed than I did with her. However, once she realised I could keep all my boys toys under one roof, whilst she has the run of the house without me getting under her feet, she soon realised what a bonus it was!”
As Steve Brockwell, the engineer who installed Mr Cook’s system explains: “We’ve had a fair few bizarre requests from customers over the years, but I’ve never seen anything like this. We’re just glad that we were able to help him bring his sanctuary bang up to date. With all his shed gizmos, he may never have to leave it again!”
It’s not just Mr Cook enjoying the benefits, as his wife, Jackie added: “Now Alan’s managed to get even HD installed into his shed, I never see him anymore! But at least I get to watch what I want in the living room!”
Not since the halcyon days of Jono ‘the Master’ Marcus has there been such a fervour for table tennis at Cake Towers. However, after a few days of eyeing up the redundant table in the corner of reception, a small but perfectly formed squad of Cakers have reignited the flame (see action shot from last night’s session above).
Yes, that’s right, Table Tennis Tuesday - or Tx3 as the cool kids are calling it - has been born. The concept is simple: Tuesday nights are no longer for slinking off home to check in with University Challenge or Mock the Week..Again (just me then?), but instead scores* of enthusiastic Cakers can be found huddled around the table tennis table in reception honing their skills.
Entry standards are fairly flexible at the moment though to be eligible to join, you must own a garish Pat Cash-style headband. Current plans include an ongoing round-robin league, and a Wimbledon-themed week in June. Applications to: The Sports Secretary, The Basement, Stephen Mews. Don’t be shy now.
