This is such a weird ad.

Very strangely edited and shot – they are trying so hard to be casual they just don’t seem to know where to look, fleeting making eye contact with the camera, but frequently just looking like a deer in the headlights.

Also, based on the clock on the cooker behind them, this casual 6 minute video took over 2 hours to actually film.

Perhaps this will be really successful in America, but I can’t imagine anyone in the UK arranging and hosting one of these.

Charlie Brooker tweeted about them all devolving in to unseemly behaviour. Unfortunately I read his tweet before watching the video so I don’t know if I would have read disturbing sub-text into the constant mention of the need for activities, equipment and making sure that you have the right devices.

The concept of the bonus activities, and how excited they were about them may keep me awake tonight.

• Researching online documentaries for course at UCF. Video about short men followed by google ad for Richard Hammond. #

• nice geek time/date first thing this morning: 09:09:09 09/09/09 #
• No idea what to wear at #twestivalcor tomorrow. The words 'beach' and 'chic' seldom applied to my sartorial efforts #
• @wearebrighter I'm sure there will be plenty of photographic evidence to share any 'interesting' interpretations. in reply to wearebrighter #
• @patroclus good point. Also just realised the shirt I'm wearing today rather resembles a deckchair. in reply to patroclus #

This morning saw another in a line of geek dates, so felt the need to post to mark the occasion.

That is all.

I’ve a long running tradition with a friend and ex-colleague of mine to get inordinately excited by runs of numbers in times and dates.

It’s just been pointed out on twitter by @ShelleyFletcher and @Laura_McKay2009 that this lunchtime there’s a doozy.

WordPress has really come of age now and is being used to power thousands of really great sites.

Having been to Australia last year and visited the Great Barrier Reef, I’ve been really interested in the ‘Greatest Job In The World’, a media campaign by Queensland Tourism. They’ve put together a really nice looking site that uses some of the core features of WordPress to present a good blog and to tie together some basic bits of social media – flickr photo albums and twitter streams.

This is just such a great idea.
