Can a viral ad also be a music video?

The Lonely Island is Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.

100W Bulb – Endangered Species

So we’re going to do away with the infamous 100W bulb, in favour of the more efficient, eco-friendly flourescent type.

The tungsten twin filament icon will be no more when stocks run out at shops and supermarkets (Tesco is the biggest seller of lightbulbs in Britain and will not be replenishing stocks).

The 75W variety is also a goner. It will save every household £7 per bulb per year, and potentially the same energy in Britain as a 1 gigwatt power station would generate, which will help to reduce CO2 emissions.

Is it me or is the “outrage”, reported in the Daily Mail, by “medical experts” somewhat overblown?

Apparently, energy saving bulbs take up to a minute to reach their maximum lux potential and don’t offer the same brightness. And if you sit really, really, really close to one for a long time you may get a headache.

When have you ever sat close to a 100W bulb?

Perhaps these complainers should find a nice beach-front property in Gaza, where there really is something “outrageous” happening. And with the continuous night-time bombing with white phosphorous and shells, they probably won’t even need to buy any lightbulbs.

Headlines and Deadlines

So here we go, Day 1, blog 1. A blank sheet.

How I live my life…

How I work, what I do… goes here. Not what’s been on the tele.

Links, photos and videos – the most important emerging technology on the web.

Time to call the Foley Artist.
