Category: Cup of Chaos

Sometimes knowing your audience and knowing your product is all that counts. Courtesty of Rob Campbell.

It has been a few weeks since the last cup of chaos – and then this one fell into my lap (courtesy of Mitch Malone). It tells the story of a woman who didn’t want to go to a high school reunion, and sent a stripper instead. Priceless.

The irrepressible Marcus Brown shares a different kind of creation story – The Garden of Tweetdom. Enjoy.

I saw this video during one of the talks at the recent Ad:Tech Sydney conference and it hit us like a sledgehammer. There are some great lines here, including, “You were a Kodak moment once, and by God, you’ll be one again”. And I am sure that Julian Cole would be more than pleased to see a unicorn reference.

Now, I don’t know who Paul is, but he’s no friend of mine. HT to Iain Tait.

Charles Frith pointed this out. The great internet party seemed to be a perfect cup of chaos for this week.

Sometimes bad news is hard to hear. Sometimes you just don't want to engage with what the world is telling you. So, for everytime that happens, you may want to take the approach advocated by Bianco Footwear. Now, if only I could find a maker of black, pointy shoes, I'd be set.

I don't know if this is a fad, but it is not bad. I have a feeling that the folks over at Immersive Media would be very pleased if this cup of chaos really was disruptive. To see how it works, press play and then use your mouse to change the point of view.

Last week, encouraged and inspired by Steve Woodruff along with Olivier Blanchard, Steve Smith -  and with our own sense of recklessness, Amber Naslund and I decided to embark on a twice weekly journey into the heart of Internet Weirdness.

In this, our first decent into chaos – designed specifically to kick start your Monday, I present  Dr Brown interpreting the Twitter conversations of the Conversation Agent, Valeria Maltoni. I trust you will find much to savour.

On Friday, my partner in crime, will deliver a cup of chaos to cap off your week. Enjoy!

Inspired by the Five in the Morning series so well put-together by Steve Woodruff (check out his new site, by the way), I was chatting with Amber Naslund about the ready abundance of online material that is of interest, but not necessarily relevant to our work (or even private) lives. Sometimes it is this small cup of chaos that delivers a dose of randomness into our otherwise ordered lives that changes the way we see things.

So, in an effort to share this with you all, and with the encouragement of Olivier Blanchard, Steven Smith and Steve Woodruff, Amber and I have decided to team up on a regular series of posts.

Twice a week we will present you with a Cup of Chaos. I will kick start your week with a little left-of-field joy, and Amber will wrap up, on Fridays with something to think about over the weekend.

The first post will be up next Monday. Oh … and if you have any suggestions for inclusion – let us know. There's always room for one more!
