As spotted on Liverpool Street earlier this afternoon. I kid you not.
But where is the siren?

Adfoblog / Great Pockets Clothing
This here is a new viral thingie for Xxxx (telling you more would be spoiling the experience).
This simple, straightforward idea is Henry Needle & Sons’ Great Pockets website. ‘Nuff respect for Farfar Sweden .. - although I’m not too keen on the actual product site it links to and I think it all takes a little too long, this could have been done in at least halve the time it takes now. Dutch Adfoblog post to be found right here.
PR stunt gone wrong?
Microsoft uses the universal language of beer to visually communicate the price difference between their Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 3. Apparently they’ve been sending around beer to stores and offices as a PR stunt type thing. This picture was taken in the Computer & VideoGames magazine office in the UK.
To me, somehow a chilled bottle of Carlsberg Becks (thnx Dr0ne) and a noiseless, shiny PS3 feels a lot nicer then 7 trays of damp beercans and a clunky Xbox 360.
I digg this bike
Back in Amsterdam for a bit to sort out a few things.. went out for a visit to the local MTB shop this morning, Digg this Specialized one very much, might need it.
Adfoblog / Twittervision
I wrote a little post on Twittervision for Adfoblog today (in dutch). I haven’t been so keen on the whole Twitter thing on itself but this Twitter/Googlemaps mashup is great!
I can watch this all day.
Update march 28:
More googlemaps madness on Andy’s blog.
Nearly Spring
One of the main reasons I am in the UK is obviously the amazingly beautiful weather - this mobshot was taken Saturday last week at Waterlow Park in the Highgate area. Looks like the Vondelpark don’t you think?
So what does $206 million look like?
Like this:
This is what the Mexican Police found inside a mansion in Mexico City the other day. The cash is tied to drug smugglers who import chemicals to make methamphetamines.
Just to try and put things in a little perspective: Youtube got sold for about 8 of these piles.
