Another ladies’ underwear experience

Again, there are some nice images to look at here but that’s not what I love about this site. Turn the sound up and visit The Lacemaker.

Make your mind up

I pass this dreadful-looking pub on the way to work in the morning. And it looks like they may have a vacancy for a proof reader. It’s not good news when you can’t even agree how to spell your own name.

What the internet was invented for

I’m not talking about ladies in underwear trying things on at your every whim. Well, maybe I am just a bit. What I’m interested in are digital things that give an experience and bring products to life.

One of the big issues with online clothes shopping for me is not being able to try things on and see how they fit. I just don’t trust photographs. I’ve been at too many photoshoots where you pin things together at the back to make them look better. And, of course, the models are nuggets of aesthetic loveliness that don’t exactly represent the everyday person on the street. KnickerPicker.com give you a video dressing room where you can dress models up in their products and move them around to see how they look. This kind of product experience at least takes you closer towards seeing how the threads would look on your own saggy torso. And therefore, closer to handing over your credit card details in exchange for some garments.

Plus, ladies in underwear, eh? You just can’t go wrong. Place yourself in the changing room of a lingerie shop at Knickerpicker.com

Shaken, not turd

I’ve just read the title to the forthcoming Bond film - Quantum of Solace.

I’m not a big Bond fan or anything but it sounds a bit crap to me. It’s like they’ve tripped over their pretentiousness and fallen up their own arse. Or am I being a bit harsh?

The internet - now with even more filth

A company is preparing to launch the UK’s first 100mbs broadband service. And the way they’ve found to get it into people’s homes is through the sewer.

Nice.

I suppose it brings a new meaning to going to the toilet to ‘lay a cable’. And this time the plumbing is bringing crap into people’s homes instead of the other way around.

You can read about it on the BBC News site here.
