When I was a student, I used to make extra money counting the votes at elections.

Unlike the UK, which has pretty strict guidelines on advertising junk
food to kids, If you ever wondered why so many young Americans are
spotty, overweight, and just generally a pain in the arse... Listen
up...

Yet another great night for the Green Awards, which seems to go from
strength to strength year after year. This year they abandoned the old
sit down for a more freestyle networking evening - brilliant! I so hate
those stuffy dos where you sit at the Grosvenor eating crap food and
drinking bad wine.

Media Square, the AIM listed owner of agencies that include CMW, Gate,
and Lloyd Northover, must be well positioned for a place in the
Guinness Book of Records for the smallest board of directors for a public company.

I've been over in NYC for the last couple of days, and whilst out in Soho spotted an overly enthusiastic girl selling Obama Condoms.
Her pitch was pretty tight - buy one for $5 or go for the ultimate
triple stimulus package for $10. I went all out for the $10 stimulus
deal. Bang!

Er, did we all just miss something phenomenal? Hold your thoughts on
iPhones and Twitter for a second, a number of the biggest leaps in
media and technology in 2009 happened this month and it's tied to one
thing: gaming. Let's recap for a second...

In media, we like to create either/ors. Different media are generally
pushed (or pulled of course) into various binary oppositions. As well
as push/pull, we have lean forward/ back; interruption/engagement;
new/old; and, today’s niggle, passive/active.

Today at 1pm, I went to collect the Euros that I'd ordered using the Post Office's Travel Money service. The online experience had all gone very smoothly, I got a decent enough exchange rate and the service guaranteed to have my money round the corner at my local post office by 1pm the next day.

A pox on T-Mobile for allegedly selling the personal details of thousands of customers to rival companies, in my opinion. Henceforth they should be known as F-Mobile, I reckon. ‘F’ as in fail - both the standards and responsibilities required under the Data Protection Act and its otherwise innocent, unsuspecting customers.

As hard as it is to predict who the winners will be when the inevitable
rationalisation takes place within the increasingly cluttered ad funded
/ music subscription market place, it's a fairly safe bet to suggest
Google will still be in a strong position.

As social networking continues its growth and appeal in new areas, the idea of community brands is gaining pace. Traditionally buying into a brand meant that you were part of that community. You are a Tesco shopper, a Louis Vuitton advocate etc.

I am frustrated. I am bored. I feel patronised. PC World is telling me
My World is Pink
(it has not been pink since I was 7) and I need a new laptop to match
my outfit (it would never even occur to me to match my outfit with my
technology). Samsung is asking me “
What Colour is my Life?” (hello?) and Dell is telling me that
technology is like candy (do me a favour).

Argos shuns the familiar retail format in favour of a strange lobby arrangement consisting of little more than a few catalogues and a counter dispensing a peculiar array of boxed goods. Shopping at Argos is an oddly furtive experience.
