Michael Jackson

Without doubt the world's greatest performer has died. Yesterday evening Michael Jackson passed away, following a cardiac arrest at his home. I feel truely sorry for everyone who never had the chance to see him perform. I saw him in Lansdowne Road in 1992 - no one has ever come close to doing a better gig in my opinion. Michael Jackson really was the King of Pop.

Some of Michael's Moves

Facebook Connect

Spotted this great presentation from Razorfish, explaining exactly what Facebook Connect is and how it could be integrated into existing services. Worth a look if you're not completely familiar with Facebook's data portability function.

The 2010 Mustang

In 1990 Roger Keeney was involved in a farming accident. A piece of metal struck him in the head and when he regained consciousness he was unable to see anything. He had completely lost his sight. It might seem odd then to hear that Roger was given the chance to take the newest Ford Mustang convertible on an amazing ride; reaching speeds of up to 90mph and pulling doughnuts.

The 62 year old won the chance to do this by participating in Mustang's '10 Unleashed' promotion. The promotion asked people to describe their ultimate Mustang experience in 250 words or less. Sounds simple.

For anyone who likes cars (especially Mustangs!), watch Roger's entire video diary here.

Hell.ie Pizza

Cheers to Damien for finding this (or at least posting about it so I could find it). I'm fairly sure there is no better Pizza company website, anywhere. Not only are these guys based in Dublin, not only do their pizza's look totally delicious, not only do they have a load of other mouth-watering foods, but when you get bored you can play with the devils! Honestly - chuck them around the screen - brilliant!

VW: Meet The Volkswagens (Display Ad)

I think this may be my favourite ad this year. For one it looks fantastic - extremely well designed and visually impactful. Secondly it works perfectly - no bugs or stalls. Finally, without appearing to jump on a bandwagon, it utilises a mainstream trend to pull you in and encourage engagement. Fantastic work!
