118-118
Posted on April 20, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
“This is what it feels like to be 118-118″
There’s a genius new advert on UK television at the moment sending up the ‘Honda Choir’ spot for the new Civic.
It’s made by the telephone directory enquiries service 118-118 (who’ve recently started doing other adverts sending up The A-Team). Rather than explain it (or spoil it) for you, just take a look.

Keyboard shoes

I know what your thinking… what can I get for my computer loving (read: Geek) partner for their Birthday/Christmas that’s a… bit different?
Well… the answer is (obviously) – Keyboard Shoes!
Made from old keyboards, these proto-type (sorry!) were shown off at the 14th China International Clothing & Accessories Fair in Bejing.
Yeah, because I’d really like to sit tapping my fingers on a keyboard all day, only to have my toes taping on keys on the way home too! Bizzare.

Microsoft’s answer to Google Earth / Maps is Virtual Earth. This has been kicking around for a while now and seems pretty slick.
