Here are two rather pleasant things that have been launched into the world wide web from Poke towers recently;

1.Orange Unlimited is a never ending page of interactive flash fun that brings to life the Unlimited campaign tag line ‘Good things should never end’. The characters you will meet were illustrated by the awesomely talented Rex, my favorite bit is the beat juggling musical characters on a washing line - it’s abit like a simpleton’s version of the incredible tenori-on.

2. Spinvox is a clever little thing with a tidy new website…’SpinVox is a service that can be accessed from any phone. Speak Freely and SpinVox will convert your words into text and send them wherever you decide: mobile, inbox, TV screen, blog and more. Give it a try now’

Unfortunately this isn’t a post about the legend that is Mark Morrison, it’s just good news, I’m back on PTN with 5 things from the last few weeks…

1. Poke have recently produced a campaign site for the WWF in an effort to help persuade the government to include emission-tastic aviation and shipping on the change climate bill, if you sign an online petition your name might just sail down the thames on a massive paper plane or boat. Iain has written about this in detail if you would like to find out more.

2. I found an old friend on the internet yesterday, she has a great photography portfolio.

3. I have been enjoying the uber user-friendly stats app extrodinaire aka. Google Analytics since hooking it up on my portfolio site last month, it’s well decent and so simple to add to your site, have a go.

4. Cookie introduced me to Raymond, a great french short film produced by the Mill that will remind you of the Ragdoll.
‘Raymond, a lazy swimming pool instructor, who would like to discover the ocean’s. A team of scientists with a brand new solution offers to help him’.

5. Some friends and I went to NYC at the end of September, it was incredible - here are the pictures which tell the story (well apart from the bits I wouldn’t want to show Grandma!).

It’s just starting to go moldy like a good bit of cheese incase you wondered, I guess we are all just super busy at the moment. This post is simple though, it’s about a great poster which you can buy from the internet. I have put my face back amongst the big www crowd recently so to speak with a selection of my work from the last 5 years. Enjoy!

Is a week today, lets hope it’s not pissing it down!

More info here.

Incredible, I need things like this today. Last night was Alex’s 30th.

Awarding winning photo’s from said event can be viewed here.

Two projects from have gone live on the word wide web this week.

Firslty Spot the Bull, read Iain’s intro here.

Secondly a site for Quinn Architects, who recently designed our new studio

Last year I told you about Zopa, a project I worked on at Poke during the summer.

Well it has been nominated for a Webby award this year in the Bank / Bill paying category. The nomination is great news, even better, it’s in with a chance to win two awards - one awarded by the Judges and one voted by the public.

The bad news is that as it stands its not winning the ‘People’s Voice award’ , currently it’s lying joint second with 20% of the vote. So this is when I ask you kindly to find two minutes and go and register and vote Zopa, voting ends next friday, April 27th.

Please feel free to send this desperate post onto friends who you think might like the project enough to vote for it

Well on the world wide internet anyway. Just so you know, I have been planning and researching my forthcoming holiday to California and these sites in particular have been helpful…

71 miles
Is a site the Nunz showed me at an official Poke graphics catch up a few weeks back. It’s basically a combination of a feed mash up (eg. kayak, google maps) and good editorial to give you a rich, insightful overview to various locations in Northern California.

My Google Maps
Everyone knows how great Google Maps is, now there is the ‘My Maps’ feature. It’s been very handy for me in plotting potential hotels and getting my bearings, and if I wanted to share my findings with my travel companion and everyone in the internet galaxy the option was there for me to.

DK Travel
I never told you about DK Travel did I? This is a project we did a few months ago for the travel book publishers Dorling Kindersley. As you might expect the site has a great wealth of information on various global destinations, but the clever bit is that you can create your own travel guides, that are downloadable and fit for printing at a small cost. For a far more superior / in depth overview of the project read Tom’s post here.

We’ve just launched the Kate Moss Topshop collection microsite.
