With the new Oi office in mind I have been looking for inspirational office decor…
Two classic pilot boats were in Guernsey during July courtesy of Set Sail Trust. I had the privilege of sailing around the world on one and still made it back to the office for Monday.
The Scillonian Amelie Rose and the Bristol Channel Morwenna are replicas of their 1800s counterparts and were here as part of the Trust’s initiative – supporting the development of marine education and nautical activities.
I was a mere supervisor (turned camera crew) for a rope pulling, bow ducking and tiller wrestling group of young type 1 diabetics.
Our circumnavigation of the world and all those grins are caught on video here as a big thank you to all those involved.


Casa Son Vida is a luxury villa located in the exclusive community Son Vida, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. This is the first of six planned villas on the island. The result of a collaboration between Cosmopolitan, a new, luxury reals estate company, tec Architecture and Marcel Wanders Studio, responsible for the amazing, unique interiors…

An intelligent, talking fridge is on the cards for industrial designer Ashley Legg.
She hopes to revolutionize the eating habits of those who always find an excuse not to cook a decent, healthy meal and instead opt for the easier, less thought involved option of ready meals. I have to admit I often fall into this category. It’s not that I’m generally lazy, it’s more that i have never learnt to cook or even really tried. Ok maybe I am a bit lazy in that respect. I think I need this fridge…

Another nice bit of work here, this time a bit more brash than DEVIL, but equally as cool (especially if you’re into movie posters like me). This beautiful domestic one sheet for Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D pays direct homage to Joe Dante’s original ‘78 film and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. If you feel inclined to watch people in bathing costumes get eaten by fish, you can check out the trailer at the movie title link above.

Beautifully simplistic yet killer execution for the first official movie poster of the new film DEVIL, produced by M. Night. Shyamalan.
This is the guy that won the Audi Tony Stark Innovation contest to promote the R8 and won $15,000 to further develop his idea. His incredible invention consists of a small computer, a pico projector and a camera, all packed into an angle-poise-style light that projects the internet onto the desk, wall or anything you point it at. The camera watches this image and can detect if you touch anything: you can type on a projected keyboard, for example. I’m still speechless by the sheer awesomeness of this. I’m gonna’ have to go lie down.


Seeing as I’m getting wed in a few weeks, this little bit of cool caught my eye today and so I humbly share it with all of you.
A software engineer at Microsoft is getting married to a woman that doesn’t necessarily share his enthusiasm for gaming. But her love is such that she decided to celebrate her beau’s geekery by having a special wedding ring custom made for him with the inscription, “For a lifetime of memories.”
Lifetime of memories?? That’ll be the USB drive built into the ring then.
Ahhhhhh.
…and it also now moves with you, whevever you may be.
When Apple does something, the company usually tries its damnedest to do it better than everyone else. Now, one could argue whether they actually manage this or not until the cows come home and trample all over the beautiful shiny Apple bits of kit, smashing them to smithereens (or any kind of ‘een’ for that matter) and causing untold havoc in your study as they get impatient waiting for the newest incarnation of Windows to load properly. But no once can deny that Apple take great care over their consumer offerings and do their best to outdo not only the competition but also themselves. From personal computing to digital music, they excel and see opportunity where others don’t.
And now advertising has been given an Apple make-over. Read all about it HERE.

Sometimes you just have to sit back in wonder and wonder at how much wonder there is in the world. Only just the other day I was sitting at home wondering about how wonderful it would be to be able to put old plumbing to wonderous good use rather than just casting it aside and low and behold…
Specsavers have joined in on England’s World Cup efforts in just 36 hours, capitalising on the controversy of the infamous disallowed goal while playing Germany on Sunday…
Kia, sponsors of the FIFA World Cup, were ready for the England Vs Germany second round World Cup game regardless of the outcome…

Please please please can this be the Oi office??
Unfortunately for me it’s already being put to much better use. Designed by Frank Gehry, the Cleveland Clinic Luo Ruvo Center for Brain Health is unique, dramatic and eye catching to say the least. It reminds me a bit of a Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum, but it really is real…
