Everythings gone gold

Gold is obviously the colour for this season... Dolce & Gabbana's new restaurant—GOLD, Absolut's newest flavour—BLING, The Gap's newest campaign—GOLD.

Maybe this Christmas we should all get some bling!

Google Shadow

After a decade of reading online that he collects meteorites Douglas Coupland, thought about it and realized, ‘that’s not actually a bad idea.’ So now he really does collect meteorites, going so far as to include them in a recent art project.

We all have our own places we like to hang out online (blogs/flickr/myspace) and eventually we build up a reputation. Coupland refers to this as our Google Shadows, or the trail you are leaving behind online as more and more history is being recorded regardless of whether it is true or not. It is for this reason, while reading through all of the strange facts about himself online that he wrote himself into his latest novel, “J-pod” as the evil Villain.

Trying to figure out what is true and what is not is what’s fun about being alive these days, Every day is like April fools’ day!
