Happy 70th Birthday John Lennon

The Google Doodle

The So Coal Network

I went to see The Social Network last night. It is an insightful, wonderfully scripted film, whose underlying message seems to say that if these guys just got laid once in a while we may not have gotten digital innovations such as facebook and napster.

The film has also succeeded in shinning a spotlight into the life of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who has retorted by giving 100 million to Newark schools. Which really was a nice gesture that will certainly change the lives of 100s of deprived children (even if it reeks of PR stunt.) Greenpeace have also used this film as an opportunity to inspire change with this viral video that aims to persuade Zuckerberg to switch facebook from using coal burning energy to wind energy.

Nice simple graphics and a whole world of fun trying to figure out these 35 film references.
