Grab your troll doll, put it in a box, and carry it over to the East side of the building.

Thank you.

A group of twelve from various departments of the BBC visited Campfire last Friday and we had a rich conversation about what each side was doing in the digital/social media realm. Among the projects the BBC staff showed us was their now famous recreation of the landing at Omaha Beach during WW2, Bloody Omaha, created by three graphic designers in a week or two.

It’s an amazing accomplishment and a testament to what can be done by a few talented people with desktop tools. We also found it revealing that the behind the scenes video has garnered nearly 2 million views on YouTube.

We also learned that the BBC has created an online video player for viewing any program for seven days (which unfortunately can’t be used in the US - Slingbox anyone?). And that the Beeb is slowly digitizing its entire library, which fills sixty miles of shelving. Like, who’s in charge of the encoding?

The behind the scenes video:

I’m speaking on the following panel tomorrow at PSFK Conference New York:

Tomorrow’s TV

How has digital changed the delivery, content, sponsorship and future of television? Florian Peters leads a panel of industry experts that includes Mike Hudack (Blip.TV), David Cohn (Vice TV), and Mike Monello (Campfire) discuss the opportunities and challenges.

They’ve put together a great lineup of speakers and panels, so drop me a line if you are planing to attend.

Mike and I are headed down to Austin on Friday for the Interactive portion of SXSW. Anybody else going? Maybe you want to grab a beer? Mike’s buying!

According to E! Online, The New Kids on the Block are discussing a reunion. I know one fan here at 62 White Street who’s been pining for the return of Jordan, Danny, Jonathan, Donnie, and Johnny for over a decade!

Friend, renew your Teen Beat subscription, your prayers have been answered!

I know that many of you (our faithful followers) have seen a couple posts related to food lacking salt, or coffee makers, or other interesting rants on office news. Well, I have one to add. Introducing my proposal for a new coffee maker… again. This one definitely trumps the puny machine that Jeremiah convinced us to throw money into. If he had just waited a few months then this beautifully expensive machine could have been in our office kitchen:

Some say it has a gnome slaving inside to produce the dark goodness. Others say not. You decide… or just read the exerpt from gizmodo after the jump (+picture diagram). (more…)

We held our final FiOS My Home 2.0 event at the Zaharko family’s home on Saturday in Pittsburgh, and all 11 of the Z’s performed an ode to our campaign. It was an extraordinary finish to the most emotional — and taxing — of our campaigns…
