Still. Japan.

January 20, 2012

These photos capture all sorts of emotion and no emotion at the same time.

I feel they give a chance to experience some level of empathy (1:100000000000000) of what the people of Sendai and Fukushima must be feel feeling.

Still thinking of you. Even if the AAP has stoped.

He/She just looks so lonely, and ‘radioactivey’

Stop SOPA. The Creative Web Based Protest

January 19, 2012

Whilst I did indeed, close my site yesterday, well in a manner of speaking, not that anyone noticed, but so did a lot of big namers in the cyber space wonderland.

In doing so they not only flexed there internet reach and impact they also pushed their creative Black out style flare on web design and its use to reflect to protest.

I think my favourite was definitely XBMC with their spotlight styled find the message.

In my humble opinion. Google could have tried harder.

Here are some screens, I hope the message got through. Censoring the internet would indeed censor the great collective minds that think of peaceful protest options like this.

WordPress.com  - very nicely played.

Wiki was probably the biggest loss, with some very amusing tweets from young sub intelligent tweeps wondering if it was gone forever, and wondering what they would do for information.

didn’t acutally see this in action, but nice touch.

XBMC  - the torch light was movable. v cool.

simple but effective.

nice and easy – great message probably the one i wish I had thought of.

Raising awareness. [Again.]

October 26, 2011

Hate the game but love the story line and secretly think it is definitely based on a true story

any ways I know I have mentioned this before possibly on twitter but hopefully you guys have been watching these bastards too.

A little bit I love the thought of a company maybe not as evil and maybe a little bit more security conscious  like Umbrella Corporation running around, in a over sized bee hive under the ground.

or maybe they already are.

example.

Avon Product ‘Anew Derma Full’

 

Umbrella Corporation’s ‘T Virus’

 

Coincidence? I think not.

Hi, I’m Katie. I might not be a real person, but I am programmed to answer your questions about PayPal.

How can I help you?

You
i would like to remove a credit card from my account but it says i still have a pending transfer?

Katie
You can remove your credit or debit card details in your Profile page under Financial Information. You may need to log in to see this page.
You’ll then be able to remove credit card information.

Note: You cannot remove a card if you have a pending transaction or if you recently used the card as a backup funding source for an Instant Bank Transfer payment.

Before we continue, was the information I gave you helpful?
-Yes, this was helpful
