So Christmas is nearly here - only a few hours left at work before we can starting boozing until the cows come home. Normally at this time of year, there are quite a few agency "Christmas card" websites flying around, but there are a couple that stand out...
Glue's effort, "lets go to lapland" is a work of genius - I was in their office last week and saw this in action - what're you're looking at is one of their meeting rooms they've converted for the purpose, and all of the staff are taking it in turn to do their bit to collectively cycle as far as Lapland (they've got a clever system for recording the mileage accurately), and you can send them little messages of encouragement which appear on the screen in front of them as they cycle. And it's all for charidy...
AKQA have taken a similar live video feed approach, although they've outsourced the hard work to Cheese and Biscuits, two crack performing hamsters (of which there's been little sign whenever I've looked, although it looks like Scamp spotted them in action). They claim the movement of the wheel powers the sign, although a little elf from Glue somewhat uncharitably pointed out to me that there was no way two hamsters could power a neon light (apparently they've done the calculations). Honesty in communications anyone?
Anyway - have a great Christmas and an even better new year...
