Gravatars

Gravatar icons

Inoticed after upgrading my blog to WordPress 2.5 (I’d recommend it, looks much better!) that some people in my comments admin area had little icons next to them. Where are these icons coming from I wondered and I want one too! Turns out they’re called Gravatars, or globally recognized avatar, it’s simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you leave a comment. It’s your email that identifies you, and you can set up multiple avatars for your different email accounts.

It’s a great idea, I’d recommend setting your own up, unless you like being Bingo from Banana Splits reading a Playboy mag, which is my default avatar for you ;)

Super Pii Pii

super pii pii the Wii penis controller

Astrap on cock controller for the Nintendo Wii? Apparently Super Pii Pii is actually just an April fools joke by ThinkGeek, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already coming off the production line of a Chinese factory, as Dave our IT man put:

“It’s brimming with potential, I can see the next Grand Theft Auto where you have to cruise the streets for ass seeing how many hoe’s you can knock up, it could also have a virtual reality mask and the pants could incorporate a jar of giblets for added realism, no?”

Penguin – We Tell Stories

We Tell stories map and story overlay

This is quite interesting, Penguin have just launched We Tell Stories. 6 different Authors have written 6 new stories inspired by 6 penguin classics which you read online. First up this week is The 21 Steps by Charles Cummings, inspired by The 39 Steps by John Buchan. Each week there’s a new story released. The interesting bit for is how the stories are told. They’re overlaid on Google Maps, as the story develops you can see the route the character is taking around London.

Are you British in Bed?

are you british in bed quiz for K-Y Jelly

Asite I designed and illustrated a while ago has just launched today, it’s the Are you British in Bed Quiz or K-Y Jelly ;)

They’ve got a new product out in the UK called Touch Massage, or how we had to refer to it endlessly in the site – K-Y® brand TOUCH MASSAGE® 2-in-1 Tingling or Warming… that rolls off the tongue nicely doesn’t it! Anyhow it’s a combination of pussy rub and massage oil, to get you all sexed up in the bedroom.

We basically built a sex quiz located in a passport control booth (I didn’t think of the idea!). It’s pretty well done if I don’t say so myself, Dezza & Russ did the flash development, Mattias did the HTML and FaceBook application. So on give it a go, it is actually pretty funny.

If you just want to get your hands on the lube, it’s available from Boots here »

SeymourPowell

seyour powell product design

Product design agency SeymourPowell have a new site. I don’t usually like flash sites, but this is quite sweet. Fast loading, not too flashy, well structured & easy to get around. Also the SeymourPowell in seven clicks stack of cards intro thing is a nice touch.

Cheers for the link Dom.
