James, Gavin and myself were back in The DAM yesterday… unfortunately it was all business… but it wasn’t all suits and powerpoint as we were pitching to a rather exciting company as well as bonding… in a very cosy We Love way… enjoy the piccies…
I stumbled upon this pretty amazing website this morning (with a bit of direction from Jonathan) and thought it was worth sharing…
It is currently the largest picture in the world (above is cropped), and here are a few stats about it…
• Taken with a Canon 5D mark II and a 400mm lens
• Consists of 1,665 full format pictures – each of which are 21.4 megapixel
• Recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes
• 102GB of raw data
• Data conversion by computer took 94 hours
• 297,000 px x 87,500 px (26 gigapixel)
Don’t see what all the fuss is about? Go and take a look at it yourself!
To start off the new year we’ve got a new face in the office. Jonathan has joined us a Front End Developer. A master craftsman, Jonathan honed his skills in deepest Kent. We’ve brought him into the manor now (he’s moved up in the world) and we’ll be working on lots of exciting projects in the coming months.
Welcome Jonathan! (there’s actually only one of him)
And so, as we start the new year, fresh faced and rosy cheeked, still reeling from the Christmas revelries, we say goodbye to a valued member of our team: Dan ‘I’ve gone to Wales to do things up mountains’ Wells.

Growing up as a wee nipper snapper, my sister (who is 18 months younger than myself) was always playing with girly toys… like my little pony, the sylvanians family, polly pocket and god knows what else!!! As hard as she tried to rope me in to her girlish game, I refused profusely and continued to run over her barbie dolls with my remote controlled cars and try and cut off their limbs with my plastic toolkit…
So, when I stumbled across these little beauties on the internet I had to laugh!!! I had never really asked myself what would happen if girls toys turned ‘manly’… but I recon I’ve found the answer below! So check out an alien, a wookie, the joker, megatron, Mr T and Darth Vadar all as my little ponies! As scary as these are, there’s definitely something quite cool (but wrong) about these characters… but you can decide for yourself!
Girls Toys Turned Manly...
Well it’s that time of the year again. Time for the Xmas party – to celebrate another successful year at We Love… great work, new clients and new staff.
Each year a different member of staff has to organise an extravaganza. This year it was my turn. The pressure was on the Hoskinator (I really hate that name)… We can do what ever we want as long as it comes under budget (Mark’s Law) And this year after the serious stress of planning, organising and maths we all met up at the office at 5.15am and headed off to Monte Carlo for the day in search of some Winter Sun and to mingle with the seriously wealthy.
A day full of ice skating, ferris wheels, Christmas markets, Casino, £15 beers, good food, big boats and fast cars… (BUT NO HELICOPTER TRANSFER ‘COS I SCREWED UP) and lots of women draped lazily across the bow of the boats… (OK the last bit was a lie).
What a day!!! Considering the early start and late return… So whoever gets the job of organising the Xmas next year… Beat that!!
So it’s that time of the year again! We thought rather than just create another pointless Christmas campaign, we would give something back to those who need it most… while trying our damnedest to make James ill.
What’s this all about?
Its simple. Get James to eat 500 mince pies in just 12 days and we will donate £500 to the Make a Wish Foundation.
Why James you ask?
Well, everyone else in the office loves mince pies, so we thought it would be best to put somebody who really HATES mince pies in the hot seat!
Support the cause, feed James a pie, and make a donation via the site, and together we can make James dread Christmas forever more.
How do you get involved?
To feed James pie, simply visit the site and sign up to the cause… I promise it will take just a few minutes of your time… and you get to see the video of him eating YOUR pie.
Lets be honest… our donation is a given… but if you want to be more involved then we have also supplied a link to our page on JustGiving.com where you can happily give what pennies you can afford to spare.
