We've just finished working on this campaign for MessageLabs and we're quite pleased with it. Here's the story: "For our new marketing campaign we have worked with a digital artist to graphically show what cyber threats actually look like. The images are generated from the actual code from each of the threats. "Alex Dragulescu is a Romanian visual artist whose practice embraces both

Have you ever had the thought that with all the wifi and portable wireless devices that we all carry round we shouldn't really need network carriers and cables anymore? Well Whisher have. They've created a piece of software that allows everyone to share their wifi connection essentially allowing you to get free wifi where ever you are in the world (providing someone is prepared to share too).

Even though this was made more than 30 years ago, the special effects are still so much better than anything that's happening now. I guess this is because they are authentic: that is they're real models that have been shot, not computer generated 'perfection'. This film is a lovely piece with clips from the film and interviews with the key protagonists.

In a beautifully put together video, Jeffre Jackson of the OIA talks about interestingness and why it's important for a brand to be interesting. One of Jeffre's reference points is Howard Gossage whom he cites as a great influence. I thought it would be worth digging deeper into Gossage's history. Known as 'the Socrates of San Francisco', Gossage was an unlikely advertising man. With a

Josh Spear has pointed me in the direction of this excellent site. It's basically a more interactive version of Pandora. Instead of selecting an artist that you want to hear similar songs to, Musicovery allows you to select by genre and then by four different qualities: energetic, calm, positive and dark. You can also narrow the music down to a particular time period.

This is the first website we've put together since we decided to do web stuff properly. It's part of smarts Positive Driving campaign, which is all about seeing things in a different light because you're in a smart. I think it's pretty damn good. Nice use of Flash 9 but most of all it gets the benefits of the car over in a very engaging way. Smart Positive Driving

If you're between 11 and 25 please head over to Phatgnat and take their annual survey. If you're over 25 don't worry, when the report comes out you can use it to market to these youngsters!

In the absence of Russell, Paul and I thought we'd try and carry the great man's mantle. The draw of Paul and I wasn't quite up there with Mr Davies but we still managed to persuade Ben and Sophie to turn up. Conversation ranged from 'fuck me facts' to Google Analytics to vegetarianism. Apologies to anyone in the George pub that overheard us and was offended/bored. It was good to see Ben

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I've been at my parents new house in Cornwall. Lovely part of the world. Anyone who's never been should go, just avoid Newquay.
