Ask Obama
Thursday 26th March 2009We’ve been following the Obama web presence closely and can’t help but feel flattered that they’re using a similar feature we introduced to Webcameron back in its day.
‘Ask David’ was a really popular feature that gave the public a platform to address David Cameron directly. It allowed anyone to register, put forward a question or vote for a question to be answered by David personally. In the true spirit of Webcameron it allowed access to David in a transparent and sociable way. A recent article in The Times quoted Obama’s web guru, Thomas Gensemer as saying “In its day WebCameron was cute, it came across as authentic. That’s a good use of the online media to personalise your candidate.”
‘Ask David’ worked really well for Webcameron and we think ‘Open for Questions‘, the Obama equivalent, will work well for Obama too.

A Summer’s Tale
Wednesday 11th April 2007My sketchbook fell in the toilet so here is a story to keep you entertained whilst the pages dry.
A Summer’s Tale
Chewie was out back sweeping up the watermelon rinds and the shit with and old leafy branch when he chanced a gaze over the boulevard to examine the curious behaviors of his neighbor Mrs ____.
She was beavering away at the final stages of completing her lunar orbiter. Chewie felt a compulsion to give comment after 8 long months of holding his tongue.
“You went and used plain galvanized metal on the outer hull, she’ll burn up on re-entry.”
“Yeah well I ain’t a comin’ back! How ’bout that asshole!”
And with that Mrs ____ fired one or the 3 afterburners and incinerated Chewie where he lay.
The End
