Hello! I'm Daniel Bower, a Brummie who found his was down to London via Manchester.

I head up eConversions' crack publishing team. We make websites people love to use, and can include welovelocal.com and VoucherCodes.co.uk among some of our recent successes.

Here you can read my thoughts on the web, music, fashion and design; nothing structured, just the stuff I find.

You can also find me on Twitter, Last.fm, Flickr and even Friend Feed, if that floats your boat.

Other Do Gooders

Rik Lomas, David Mytton, Helen Evans, Benji Lanyado, Lawrence Brown, James Griffin

I justed wanted to take a quick snap of my whiteboard before it’s cleaned.

On it you’ve got deadlines, flow diagrams, and a few random thoughts.

As I mentioned earlier in the week I attended the RCA’s ‘SHOW’ exhibition that featured work from final year students from a range of disciplines.  As well as seeing my mate Alex’s work, conceptual housing for people with a disproportionate fear of disasters, I was stuck by what can only be described as a folding plug from one of the product design students.  I was reluctant to post up anything at the time for fear of describing it badly, but luckily for me some pictures have surfaced on Dezeen.
Thanks to Matt Railton for the heads up.

Serpentine Festival. The only festival in the world with table service. Bon Iver, or Ben I’ve-a as he’s known with the touts, was superb.

Had a wonderful university reunion weekend in Hampshire. Clear skies, 26 degrees, take that London.

Alex Smith Architect

I’m heading over to the RCA tonight for my mate Alex’s end of year show.  He’s just graduated from the final year of his Master’s in Architecture from the RCA, with honours, and this will be one of his last chances for a while to stick all his crazy ideas up on a wall for all too see.

It’s always a well organised event, in fact all of the RCA shows are, and all showcase some of the brightest creative minds the UK country has to offer. Recommended.

What Questions do People Ask Google?

Nick who works at eConversions came across this little Google easter egg.  If you punch in the begining to a question, Google, using it’s suggest feature, will try and preempt you based upon the questions it is most commly asked.  Some pf them are hilarious, here’s a few:

“Is Lady Gaga a man?”

“Is Jade Goody Dead?”

“Is Jade Goody Dead yet?”

“Are Vampires Real?”

“Are Ghosts Real?”

“Are there Aliens in Space?”

“Are there snakes in Ireland?”

“Are there tigers in Africa?”

and of course

“Are there any Michael Jackson tickets left?”

I really hope these people got the answer they were looking for.
