BLOG: Big Questions

There are some pretty heavy questions floating around at the moment what with economic meltdown, continued religious conflict and the imminent election of the most powerful man in the world. But at codegent towers we have got a few questions of our own...

Who in the office can fit the most amount of Rich Tea biscuits in their mouth at once?

Answer: Mr Matthew Jukes (4)

Next week, an update on who can grow the best tache as we kick off the month of Movember

One dance left...

David has sold my beloved fruit machine on e-bay for £10.50 "to make more room in the office" for our new joiners, he might have a point. But! Matt and I nearly killed ourselves carrying that thing up the stairs! And in doing so we bonded with 'fruity' in a special way.

So with a heavy heart I turn to the words of others to express my feelings on this impromptu break-up :(

"And although we might say that we're alright,
it's clear that we've stepped out of time.
There's something quite telling just there at the edge of your smile.

And its not that a heart has been broken.
It's just sad when the flames start to freeze.
And the sparks that we had can no longer light up our debris.

It's just part of us all growing older.
Facing things that we don't want to see.
Like a heart is a thing ever changing.
And love, is a thing that will come and go with the breeze."

'Debris' available for purchase here

Busy Little Bees

BLOG: Busy Little Bees

Hmm, the blog was looking a bit neglected so I thought it was time for an update on all things codegent. Nope, the silence isn't because we have all nipped off to the seaside with our bucket and spade for the Summer but more because we have been busy little bees.

So what have we been doing? Well in the last month we have launched two massive social networking portals - cmypitch (a community for entrepreneurs) and b-live (a specialised careers service for teenagers). In addition to that we had our Euro phrase books to hand with the creation of a series of multi-lingual sites for Skechers Footwear (Thanks to Todd for all the free shoes - see above!) and snuck in the latest version of Ask the Cast for Cartoon Network's Boomerang channel.

In the production kitchen we have some really cool stuff coming your way. A CBS Outdoor viral campaign that will blow your socks off (or at least distract you at work for a while!), then "The Big Film" for The Gherkin that I have been twittering on about for ages (its looking sweeeeeeeeeeeet) and a sexy social network promoting Rugby 7s! Yummy!

... Serve with a side of O2 (a microsite launching their new TouchFLO handset), sprinkle a dash of ethical fashion e-commerce and drink down a full-bodied glass of Sarah Beeny - Yes, 'er off the tele! A tasty treat indeed.

Actually there are a few more to mention but I think you might get a bit bored if I keep going. Plus what will I write about next month? Busy times, but great projects... long may it continue :)
