Yesterday we were alerted to a video on YouTube, after appealing for more information, we have been sent more footage recovered from Dan and Trisha’s house. It appears that Dan and Trisha have gone missing. Do you know anything?

The Ministry OF Joy hard at work, experimenting with new recruits for The Smiler. An open invitation for more volunteers to be ‘marmalised’ will be sent soon…
A nice (and creepy) viral video promoting Alton Tower up coming new ride, The Smiler. Can you find the clues and enter them on the @altontowers website? po.st/sepR6S

Developer Mike DiGiovanni just created an app called Winky. It lets you wake Glass from standby and take a picture with the wink of an eye.
“Winking really changes things,” DiGiovanni writes. “You might not think it’s hard to say “Ok, Glass Take a Picture” or even just tap a button. But it’s a context switch that takes you out of the moment, even if just for a second. Winking lets you lifelog with little to no effort. I’ve taken more pictures today than I have the past 5 days thanks to this. Sure, they are mostly silly, but my timeline has now truly become a timeline of where I’ve been.”
*funny and amazing

CEO of Perfect Fools Patrick Gardner argues that luxury brands are missing a trick by opting for ineffective advertising over innovative tech solutions to connect with customers
Really cool article explaining the opportunites available to fashion and lifestyle brands to reach audiences; I’ve just been reading about Topshop, Burburry and Google+ at London Fashion Week, these brands are getting pretty tech savvy! > MH
Absolutely love this! Not sure that it would work in Macclesfield, but the simplicity of the design makes it an absolute winner for me. ~ SM
Versus/Hearts is about rivalry.
Lovely ultra-simplified geometric artwork by the inspired Dan Matutina. Matutina pits both classic and current enemies against each other using fantastic naturalistic textures, noise and materials.
Goes to show what a little imagination can do with such a basic shape.
