Google And Its Hidden Trickery!

On Thursday November 3rd we got a taste of Google’s playful side when the search term “do a barrel roll” resulted in Google’s search screen rotating by 360 degrees, bringing a smile to millions everywhere.

The barrel trick is however not Google’s only trick that can be found. In fact there are nine of them altogether. The best thing is, you can access them now for instant laughs to brighten up your day.

So without further ado, let’s bring those smiles to play:

Gravity

1. Using the search term “Google Gravity” followed by pressing “I’m feeling lucky”, you are greeted by the entire Google search page falling to your feet.

2. This trick has been around since it started as an April fools joke in 2000 and still works brilliantly if you want to be entertained or spin your friends and family out. Type “google.com/mentalplex” into your URL bar and take it from there!

On Friday the photography studio next door was filled with culinary treats for a hamper photo shoot and at the end of the day these cakes started to appear in the Blueclaw office.

I’m all for homemade donuts, strawberry flans and profiteroles. However at the end of the day, I’m really a savoury kind of guy. So this Sunday morning I decided to invent something new (or so I thought at the time).

Obviously in order to produce a new masterpiece, it is necessary to experiment at least one rival, in this case Vegemite. Before I started I needed some facts, where best to start than the labels;

11th of February is Fuel Poverty Awareness Day in the UK. It’s an awareness raising media and public affairs campaign to encourage MPs to focus their surgeries that week on helping those affected by Fuel Poverty. Blueclaw has designed this infographic based on a recent study on how Fuel Poverty is affecting the over 60s in England. It’s pretty bleak, because, well, it’s meant to be.
