It was Michael Buble's birthday today

To celebrate I started the day by having breakfast with Russell. We discussed country hotels, constant rejection and Matt Le Tissier.

 

Then I had some time to spare before a meeting so I sat down by some water and did some thinking, sketched some ideas and sent a few emails.

Because one of the roles I hold is the Creative Director of the Guardian advertising account for Wieden & Kennedy I had various meetings at the Guardian and the Observer today. Too many too list here but I did manage to get a few photos.

This is the Reverend Dan Catt he makes digital magic. Here he is inspecting a camera I passed to him from one of my earlier meetings. He is not upside down he has a massive beard and a shaved head.

I think the Guardian would be a nice place to work. Everyone gets a parrot on their screen when they start.

Picture from Jason, obviously.

Then I cycled home missing my Personal Best by an agonising two seconds. Two seconds! It wasn't all bad news, I discovered Jason Kottke had written this awesome post based on my 'How many helveticas does it take to get to the moon?' thought.

A good day.

So, it's not Buble's birthday anymore? Did he change it?

[Ben]

Yeah I know Dave. It's just "it is" didn't feel right this late at night. Lame I know.

I think constant rejection would make a good blog.

[Ben]

Very true John. I'll ask Marcus to set it up

"He is not upside down he has a massive beard and a shaved head." First class!

Just an observation. But, in the first photo, there appears to be a giant iPod Shuffle on the wall behind you.
