Meeting UK journalists

Tenho andado a alargar a minha rede de contactos aqui no Reino Unido e marquei alguns cafés com os editores de tecnologia do The Guardian, The Times e do The Daily Telegraph. A abertura, simpatia, profissionalismo e interesse com que nos receberam revela que sabem bem como uma equipa de PR pode ser um bom aliado.
Não há nada a perder, todos ganham.

Adoro esta ideia

Guerrilla gardening is political gardening, a form of nonviolent direct action, primarily practiced by environmentalists. It is related to land rights, land reform, and permaculture. Activists take over ("squat") an abandoned piece of land which they do not own to grow crops or plants. Guerrilla gardeners believe in re-considering land ownership in order to reclaim land from perceived neglect or misuse and assign a new purpose to it.

Some guerrilla gardeners carry out their actions at night, in relative secrecy, to sow and tend a new vegetable patch or flower garden. Others work more openly, seeking to engage with members of the local community, as illustrated in the examples that follow. It has grown into a form of proactive activism or pro-activism.

Friends

My friend must be a Bird-
Because it flies!
Mortal, my friend must be,
Because it dies!
Barbs has it, like a Bee!
Ah, curious friend!
Thou puzzlest me!

Telescópio: Londres - NY






Esta nova instalação junto à tower bridge, permite interagir com pessoas em Nova Iorque, em tempo real.
Por trás está a história de um inventor (Alexander St George) que desenhou um túnel que poderia ligar Londres a Nova Iorque.
Agora o artista Paul St George tornou invenção real. E, na minha opinião, de forma bem conseguida. Não sei qual o truque, mas funciona e é divertido.
