Radio 2 has got Rob Brydon impersonating Ken Bruce!

 

I only realised when I thought that Bruce was more interesting than normal.

we have applied a wallpaper reading 'Your PC has a Virus, report to IT IMMEDIATELY' to just a few machines here and there. we'll also apply it randomly when students are logged on too, for effect. tee hee.

Just had a teacher throw a hissy fit about this in the IT room she booked. year 11 girl gets the joke +1. Teacher with no sense of humour who doesn't get it -1million!

As for 3D radio, it does exist. The BBC did a special on it back in around 1989 or 1990 inconjunction with Tomorrows World and Radio1. Bomb The Bass did a special 3D version of "Winter in July".

 

And there's also 3D Radio, LLC (which is nothing really to do with the spatial quality of the sound!)

We put a notice on the digital signage system saying that one of the teachers was giving away chocolate at break time. We got the teacher and at least a dozen kids.

Somebody tried to organise a mass gathering on the grass outside the Head's office to celebrate his "birthday." It fell flat on it's face. :lol:

Stylish technology nuggets made by Apple... we just can't seem to get enough. From iPod, to MacBook, to iPhone, to iPad. Even if we laugh our way through the announcement, thinking we'll "never buy an overgrown iPhone"... it happens again.

 

So when we spotted this amazing Apple Store Playset from PLAYMOBIL™ we were admittedly in a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, it's a product designed for children much younger than ourselves. On the other hand, it's a tiny representation of the store which sells us all the shiny Apple goodies we can't resist. Then we noticed that the PLAYMOBIL™ iStore includes amazingly tiny iPhones, Macbooks, and iPads. Our resolve began to waver. A quick peek at the miniature Genius Bar and we were feeling a bit woozy. Then we saw the tiny Steve Jobs presenting in the Keynote Theater on the top floor and that was it. Our wallets popped out faster than you can say Jonathan Ive and we plunked down whatever money was needed to own this amazing playset.

 

Of course, once we had the playset, we had to get the optional Line Pack to simulate our own exciting Apple product launches. Since it comes with a tiny Woz on a tiny Segway, it was a no-brainer. We decided that Apple & PLAYMOBIL™ together is the most unlikely and awesome collaboration ever. It changes everything.

 

Snag the PLAYMOBIL™ Apple Store "for the kids" then whisk it away to your office and set it on display. Over lunch, a bunch of us at ThinkGeek HQ get together and play Apple Store. Christian always gets to be Steve Jobs... damn it!
