I love this mash-up of kinect with Google Earth to give the user the feeling that they are a bird (pigeon) soaring (flapping) over London. There doesn't appear to be an option to fire pigeon droppings at unsuspecting bankers... maybe they'll add that in a later release. 

The Pigeon Simulator was created by University College London researcher George Mackerron for a conference on smart cities at the university last week.

I particularly love how Oki-Ni have been using Mixcloud to entertain their customers, giving them a reason to return to their retail site. Shame you can't download the compilation mix series anymore though.

I like the W&K Christmas installation at 16 Hanbury Street (oh to have
a show window!). Essentially it's a ticker tape type machine that
creates 'snowflakes' every time some tweets a message containing
#snow. It's a lovely blend of digital technology in the analog world,
though their machine must be overheating with snow-related tweets what
with the arctic weather we've having in the UK.

Be careful when you tweet though, because if you accidentally type
#snowball you'll send a volley of snow at someone in the
twittersphere, courtesy of AnalogFolk's very own Christmas project.
Over a thousand players have already joined in the Hashtag Snowball
fight. Go on, throw some snow!

So the online driving show SEAT Sex Drive finally draws to a close.
Over the 7 episodes, our driving finalists and celebrity captains
provided us with a high-octane dose of pure driving entertainment. And
they only wrecked a couple of cars (oops).

If you missed it you can catch all the episodes on YouTube. For the
time-pressed among you, you'll probably want to fast forward to the
final episode and see which team won.

SPOILER ALERT: The girls came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2...ridiculous!

And if you are a fan of Fifth Gear, you'll enjoy presenters Vicki
Butler-Henderson and Jonny Smith struggling to keep their SEAT Leon
cars on the track whilst answering quick fire questions about the
sexes. It stars AnalogFolk's very own Stuart Pearman as the
quizmaster...who vomited off-camera (sadly) seconds after getting out
of the car.

As part of the Channel 4 programme On Track with SEAT, Metropolis
Studios recorded this amazing cover of 'Walking in the Air' by The
Maccabees. It's stirring stuff and we were lucky to be in the mixing
studio to hear it.

This year, we decided to make the AnalogFolk Christmas project an entirely social affair.

Why send someone a Christmas card, when you can send them a handful of digital snow to show how much they mean to you? I give you Hashtag Snowball!

It's simple to play:

1. Just @mention your target and add #snowball to your festive tweet to start throwing.
2. Bigger snowballs do more damage. The size of your snowballs is derived from a magic formula created by our elves and based on your Twitter presence.
3. This is a good, clean fight, so you can only hit one target per tweet, and re-tweets don't count!
4. Include http://tiny.cc/snowballfight in your tweet to link to the latest fights, leaderboard, and top targets.

Alongside folk from adland, some big names have been caught in the snowball crosssfire, including Jonathon Ross, Russell Brand, Jamie Oliver, Kanye West, Serena Williams and Sarah Palin (well she did ask for it).

Happy Holidays and feel free to join in...just please don't hit me (my @mentions column has been pummeled to oblivion already)!
