Berkeley has just finished trick or treat at Saatchi London. Here he is preparing to get a treat (his trick was ‘Sit’, in case you were wondering…)

Arthur lives on the back of the couch and Berkeley has decided that he wants to live up there too.This is them on their way to the local rodeo in St John’s Wood…

Arthur is also being used as a size comparison for how fast he is growing. Check this out: The most recent photo of Arthur and Berkeley together (19 Oct 2009) is below…

This is the first pic of them together 3 weeks ago (below)…yikes…he’ll be about 8 feet tall at this rate :-)

This is the first fitting of Berkeley’s pirate costume. He held still for exactly 1 minute.

He then walked calmly over to his rug and started to eat the hat, starting with the neck strap…I wonder how he’ll like the lobster costume, coming soon…

Later, back to ‘butter won’t melt in my mouth’ pose….

The world's first laundry dog

This is the new little man around the house - his name is Berkeley Jackson, born June 26 and came to live in St John’s Wood Sept 1. His interests include biting, the ‘zoomies’ and learning sit, lie down and NO! In fact, he thinks that his name is NO, with ‘OUCH’ being a close second. We’re teaching him to do laundry as well so he has something to do while watching soaps and eating bon bons….More pics to come.

Re-condition your mind and experience a cool, and painfully obvious, interface idea. A good little example to show folks as a demo if you wanna try a more ‘intuitive’ approach…thanks to Leon for the link!

Watchmen Arcade Game
Waiting for the Watchmen movie is making me physically ill…I’ve stopped eating until Ozymandius kills <spoiler deleted> and Dr Manhattan blasts <spoiler deleted> and they find out that <spoiler deleted> killed the Comedian! Until then, I’ve been playing this game wearing my original Watchmen smiley button.

Competition to keep the music and the beats right, nice twist on ‘interacting with the band’. Spin that record right round baby! Thanks to Karen P.

Esquire Interactive Cover Gallery
Instant inspiration, all the Esquire covers (from some tasty designer heroes), all in one place. Thanks to NotCot.

Hyrdochromatic Umbrellas
Get wet, still look cool - these umbrellas change colour and design when they get wet - must be an ad in here somewhere….

KERN - The iPhone Game
I’ve been looking for a reason to get an iPhone, this is it. Anyone who knows me has seen my inner type-nazi…for those who have felt the pain of me whining about letterspacing, you can now play a game about it. NICE!!

Very cool new interaction technique for banners and beyond…look past the shonky demo video and check out the samples on the site.

The future of social networks…maybe
A really good tip from Peter Mangin in our AKL office - cheers Pete!! “In this presentation (link below), Charlene Li (Groundswell) makes the point that in the future, Social Networks will “be like air.” Thanks to universal identity and sign-in, your friends will be wherever you need them… literally their recommendations and thoughts will be at your finger tips. Just as important, this social graph will help marketers provide more relevent information and advertising to consumers when and where they need.” Take a TV break and check it!

Leyio (or…if you don’t already have enough stuff to carry around)
The Leylo is a new gadget to share and carry-around, with a groovy fingerprint scanner to keep everything secure. Bye Bye USB? Me likey…

Social Networks Evolve: Facebook Connect
Thanks again to Peter in the NZ team. Facebook Connect is going to (hopefully) change the way we, er, connect using social networks, mobiles and maybe, everything. A good little video overview from the crew at Razorfish.

TouchGrind iPhone Skating Game
Thanks to Rachid for this tip - very cool iPhone game.

I am a snowboarder, so may enjoy this more for the eye-candy and groovy virtual mountain. A very smart little product catalog meets pro-advice, all integrated within the Sports Chalet site (instead of a microsite with a dumb vanity URL). If yr in the Northern Hemisphere, shred til yr dead…!

BBDO Kids Day Promo
BringYourKidsToWork Day at BBDO had some very cool, inexpensive and fun internal promotion.

Build a Squid | TePapa Museum Wellington, NZ
The giant squids were the thing that scared me the most when swimming in the ocean in NZ. Now I can build me own, set it free and scare other paranoid swimmers.

T-Mobile ‘DAWNCE’
Yeah, yeah, I know the proper title is ‘DANCE’ but I have been around everyone pronouncing it ‘DAWNCE’. Good fun, check it out NOW!

Get to the Chopper | Arnold Remix
This remix rocks, but I wish there was the ’stick around’ line. This is better than nothing!
