Retro gaming to wear!

April 17th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
 
OK, it's Friday on a four day week and the day got away from me a bit so I'm afraid the piece of literary genius I was intending to bring to you today will have to wait, but in it's place, I just have to share this with you. This is totally BRILLIANT! It's an idea I wish I'd had first and I'm definitely going to spend the weekend trying to decide on what my skirt will look like.* * assuming I actually get around to buying the necessary materials - and indeed sowing machine - required! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you......

The LG Arena KM900: Your thoughts and reviews

April 17th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
 
I saw an Arena in the window of my local phone shop this morning, which hopefully means they're in - or coming to - a shop near you now! Seems like an ideal time to do a bit of a round up of feelings so far about our new favourite handset, with a look at some of the reviews and initial/unboxing reactions of some of the bloggers who attended our exclusive launch event on April 1st - while the city was under siege we had canapés and civilised conversations and played with new toys! (I know, I know.. My life...

Magnificent style and the ultimate accessory

April 15th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
 
.. but enough about me! Over the weekend I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum to check out their 'Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence' and 'Hats: An Anthology' exhibitions. Firstly, to anyone thinking of going, a word of warning - wear comfortable shoes. We spent over 2 hours in the Baroque collection and it could have easily been longer if our heels hadn't started to hobble us! It was worth the pain however, with sections devoted to art, performance, architecture and outdoor spaces and the religious use and cultural impact of the first style of design to have...

Shake Pole

April 12th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
 
This rather lovely installation by Richard Box caught my eye recently. Shake Pole 831 fluorescent tubes powered by the electromagnetic field surrounding overhead power lines. 145 x 39 x 1.5 metres. Spectators report that "touching the tubes altered how much light they produced and running your hand up and down changed where the light was too, as did touching the tube whilst jumping in the air."

April 9th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
 
Edinburgh-based 'Running Productions' recently won a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award (Multimedia) for films created as part of the M12sion pan-European digital marketing campaign for the Keanu Reeves’ blockbuster 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.
