So, some completely unexplained spiral formations have been spotted over Trøndelag and Finnmark in Northern Norway. No-one knows what they are. There have been no rocket launches in the area and meteorologists are baffled.
What’s your theory? New Tuguska Event? Interdimensional portal? Or swamp gas lit up Venus? Or, most horrifying – is it a viral marketing campaign for a sci fi movie?
Last week Electric Spectre spent a day running all over London and doing a lot of unusual stuff. Not out of the ordinary for the people involved in this blog you may say, but we mean REALLY unusual stuff.
This was all laid on by the lovely people from Smartbox - a company who specialise in experiences – rather than getting grandad a pair of socks for Christmas you can pack him off bungee jumping or to a boutique hotel in the Hebrides.
To show us journos what they had on offer they put us in teams, bundled us into a taxi and sent us out into town to do stuff. We were paired with the ace people from Flavour Mag and some civilians and sent to a south London recording studio.
We’re not too brilliant at the whole ‘making stuff work on the internet’ here at Electric Spectre. We had to call in a crack team of design and code monkeys to make this site look as good as it does today – (Thanks Toggle!) Luckily however there is a new tool available called BaseKit that makes designing sites simple enough that I can do it. And I have the practical web skills of a chimp. Basically it involves making a nice looking site in Photoshop, naming your layers properly, uploading them to the tool and selecting the areas you want to do things, and telling them what things you want them to do. Easy! But check out the video. Makes things far clearer.
The whole thing is free right now, as it is in beta – and lucky for you – we have 20 lovely beta invites for our very special readers. Just mail beta@basekit.com with ‘ES Beta Invite’ in the subject line and you can have a go too…
It’s a Pikachu mask in the same way that a chainsaw flying towards your genitals is just a garden tool. I’m scared.
Super Soakers. They hold a lot of liquid right? And,as an experiment labelled ‘toilet incident’ here at ES towers a while back will attest, it doesn’t have to be water…
