Paint

Published by Matt on 12 May, 2013 | Leave a response

Walking down the paint isle in DIY shops can’t help but make you smile a bit when you’re called Matt. A whole selection of objects with my name in big letters, plastered on the front of them. Incidentally, I think the PC way of describing me should be ‘Caucasian’ though, for the record… sorry.. So today, I’ve put a bunch… Read more →

Sound advice indeed.. Spotted on one of Annie Mo’s items of clothing. Not only does it serve as an accurate label, just in case we forget what it is, it’s also got a top tip.

Optical Illusion extraordinaire

Published by Matt on 4 January, 2013 | 1 Response

I’ve seen my fair share of optical illusions before. I’ve not seen one as good as this for a while though.. This is a static image – it’s not animated in any way. That’s your head doing that, that is.

I tried one of these – the taste – somewhere between battery acid and 1000 lemons. Awful level set to extreme hostile. Naturally, I wanted to let my kids experience them…Here’s the video of them attempting the Sour Challenge.

Eirene just sent me this photo of Sophie trying on Jaygo’s glasses. Made me laugh. Popped in to see Jaygo last night by the way – good spirits.

A traditional North Yorkshire Mummers Play I saw a world that I didn’t know existed last night. Whilst sat having a quiet jar with a friend in the (Graeme) Swan on The Stray public house, we were ‘warned’ that there would shortly be a performance and we may not like it on the grounds that it may be “a bit… Read more →

Saint London are asking the question – Can you draw the internet? They’ve crafted an experiment in the form of a website where they are trying to work out who the more imaginative is – the creative industry or a bunch of 10 years olds. I thought I’d give it a go and here’s what I came up with: Have… Read more →
