Last week we had a Hack Day at Poke. We were split into teams of about 6 or 7 and given 24 hours to come up with a ‘working thing with a URL’ that’s something to do with the theme: FOOD. The team I was in came up with That’s a Cappuccino! – A campaign [...]

I made a little video thingy. It sits on the side of a taxi cab which is actually a mobile photo booth/sound recorder for something called The Sound of Orange Rockcorps. What these photos and sounds are going to be used for is a bit secret, and we’re still working on it a surprise!
 
There’s more [...]

I was so impressed by Iain’s performance over the weekend, that I am moved to blogging. Here’s what happened. Sit Iain of Tait put out this tweet Friday night:

To which I flippantly responded with:

I know, it’s another one of my cocky annoying tweets. But this time, HE TOOK THE BAIT! He actually completed the full [...]

The tools are designed very well to give every meat sack out there the chance to build something fun. Anyway, go play “Terror Castle” (named after [...]

After much begging, we managed to blag ourselves a beta key (thanks Gripwrench!). Here’s our first little level. Spent about a week messing around with it. The creation tools really are fine. Such a fun thing to play with. Looking forward to burning [...]

After an hour’s play we we are asked to decorate our pod… oh dear, we made a bit of a mess, maybe one too many donkey tails? The eyeballs on springs really pull the room together though.

After hitting up various dark web alleys, we’ve managed to get our grubby mitts on a beta code for LittleBigPlanet. Oh well, sleep is over rated anyway.
