Been creating a new site - Net Retro - Past halcyon days

I started creating my 10th Ning site today. It's called www.NetRetro.ning.com and has been an idea of mine for a while to create a retro community to enjoy reliving the past and pass those moments from it to my children and younger generation. N… Continue

April Fools & Spring is in the air

So it's all go this Spring, and I started April off with a cheeky little April Fools - SPROCKETS (AI Advertising) - an idea from a friend in the US and played out on a few advertising community, blogs and newsgroups to delicious effect. Well done to those who saw through it. The scary thing is that in 5 years time it will probably all be real. That's technology for you. Been updating slowly each group on MediaStarz, I don't want to bombard you all with groups to join out of the blue otherwise.… Continue

At 6:24pm on July 2nd, 2008, Lee Branch said…: Hi Jon,

I'd like to invite you to a new networking event we're running and also wondered if there was any way of spreading the word to other MediaStarz members?

We've just launched a new monthly meetup for commercial media professionals called AD:SAUCE. The first event starts at 6pm on Tuesday 22nd July in Central London and explores ideas to increase traffic, stickiness and revenue from digital media.

You can see who's speaking on the event website www.adsauce.net and some of the companies already attending at the registration page - www.adsauce.eventbrite.com.

It's completely free to attend by the way on a BOOB basis (don't get any ideas...stands for Buy Our Own Beer..!)

I hope you can make it, if there's any way of promoting it on MediaStarz that would be really appreciated too!

Speak soon,
Lee

At 9:20am on April 8th, 2008, Daniela said…: Hi Jon!
Thanks for the wellcome, i'll try not to be a stranger. few things about media in Romania: digital is booming, TV is getting more expensive from year to year, brands learn to innovate through print, transit and indoor. And Starcom is getting Lions thanks to a bunch of innovation & strategy people :)
All the best!

Shiny Review: Nokia N82 "geotagging"

Bless them. The folks over at My Chemical Toilet/Brandish appear to have never seen a reall phone before. What possible other explanation could there be for them getting so excited over this *do that stupid bunny ears with your fingers thing* geotagging? Still, it makes for good video fun. And Isabelle does an impression of a monkey, which is never a bad thing...

Darth Vadar and R2D2 USB hubs for the Star Wars enthusiast in you

Fans of the force have been treated to so much Star Wars themed computer gadgetry over the years that by now their desks should be absolutely brimming with George Lucas gear. If this describes you, you'd better make some room on your desk for one of these bad boys. Clearly not your typical USB hubs, the R2D2 and Darth Vadar USB hubs are what some would deem cool personified (by some, I mean the geeks). For more info and to see one in action see after the jump.

Blingtastic necklace come USB drive

Fashion and tech have merged once again to create something wonderful for tech-loving ladies. This rather fetching device/fashion gem is from those the purveyors of sparkly USB devices, Solid Alliance.

Guess who's cancelling their noise courtesy of Sony

Not much of a clue with this one, so I've left Jeremy Clarkson in the picture to give you an idea of the calibre of guests. My other clues include the fact that his father was a jazz musician and keyboard salesman (!), he's godfather to Apple Paltrow-Martin (!!) and is best friends with David Schwimmer (!!!). According to Wikipedia...

Geek Chic of the Week: Maths camp

There comes a warm glow with knowing that you *get it*. Let's pretend that if anyone on the street saw this t-shirt, they'd raise one eyebrow and look questionably at you. Imagine the glee of being able to explain this GCSE level maths equation to them (we'll ignore the fact that we're all taught the big crocodile mouth eating the smaller number in primary school. And the fact that we don't really have things like 'maths camp' in the UK).
