#GadgetVader

A bit of a delayed post here but one worth posting. How i got involved i do not have the foggiest, but involved i did get.

Becomming a bit of the Twitter addict recently I found out from @JasonBradbury that there was going to be an secret event happening with the title #gadgetvader and all we were told is that its a street art, gadget related event and it was going to be filmed for Channel 5′s The Gadget Show. Feeling up for a bit of something random I decided I was going to go. I also decided to help out with the promotion with the usual dose of RTing a dicussion (in case you are not aware of what RT is it means Retweeting someone else’s message). Not only the RTing and discussion, I also offered to Jason Bradbury that I would build a Facebook event to build yet more awareness of the event

So with a time/date and fellow Facebook and Twitter folk set it was time for all of us to meet at 10pm at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. I was armed with my Blackberry and Twitter helping people find their way there and some very bright shoes so people could see where i was. What struck me was the amount of people who knew who I was the another more amusing fact that people thought that I knew what was going on and that I was involved with The Gadget Show.

So what was the event you ask…..well watch for yourself….

Night of the Living Librarian!!!

whoooooooo *waves arms around*….ok, in case you did not get that, that was meant to be me being scary…did it work…hmmm, perhaps not!

I managed to venture up into my loft to see if i could find my Digital SLR camera, managed to find it and the box but now charger! arrrrgh. That’s what happens when you move house lol Will have to have another venture up there later.

Seemed to have ended up being a busy this week with various bits and bobs…mainly paperwork, lets just hope something good comes out of it.

But the reason for the rather strange title of my blog is that the people of Twitter have been set a challenge by Mr Jason Bradbury (from “The Gadget Show” if you have never seen it watch it!) to make ourselves and our mobile phones look like zombies in order to win a Samsung i8910HD (see #ZombiePhone for details and other entries). So for all in the name of creativity and that fact that i like horror themes i thought i would give it a go and here are the results…

Just a side note that the photo on the phone is also a picture i took of myself lol Its quite ironic really that the look was made using beauty products i had around the house haha!! I will have to wait until Monday to find out if my ntry has one so keep your fingers crossed for me :o )

On my travels i picked up a book called “Creative Untopia: 12 ways to realize total creativity”, this quote from the back cover really got me “Achieve mental clarity by unplugging from the electronic world with aromatherapy or yoga”….looks like i am already failing at becomming a fully creative being, perhaps a creative geek is more suiting, I am going to give it a read and will feel back on how it goes.

Speaking of great photos, check out this website that i cam across through a friendĀ Maisie Crow – Website beautiful, yet very real.

So for now, its a bye from me see you on the darker side mwhahahaha (sorry trying to be scary again)

Song of the Day: Michael Jackson “In The Closet” – a great track from a great artist, makes me want to dance when i hear it
