Number 1 xmas Toy!

While watching the top xmas toys countdown on TV over the weekend I was only delighted to see my favourite childhood Toy come in at number 1 as the top 100 xmas presents of all time as voted by their viewers. Hurrah for Lego. Here's the company's logo over the years :)

The present day logo looks quite different to 1936 eh ;)

Social networks the new government?

In Digital Media and Society today I was suprised to see the statistics for Obama's online campaign. One of them being that an exit poll stated that Obama had the vote of 70% of the under 25 year olds in the United States. Was this solely due to Obama's clever participation of facebook,twitter,flickr,linked In etc? What do you guys think, would Obama have won without the help of the internet? Personally I think it was a huge benefit to him as he spent a tremendous amount of time maintaining and updating all his OSNs which can not be said for McCain.

Typefaces come alive!

I really like this video, it gives a true persona to every font type :)
I thought it was very well made! The collegehumor group have some pretty weird and wonderful videos! Have a look
