There’s a progress bar.
Students and Interns are welcome to take part in the survey.
There are four open-ended questions (for most of you) all on one page. This part will take the longest, but your thoughtful answers are appreciated.
As always, the survey is anonymous. Please encourage your friends and colleagues to participate. Heather gets emails all year long from all over the world asking for more details on countries with low participation. She can only share when enough people take the survey to be able to protect your secrets with the power of averaging.
A big thank you goes back to all of my colleagues, friends, clients and great people I’ve met so far, for all the things we’ve learned and done together but most for those that we will do in the future.

Oh, and they also have something called “Hackathon” where two hundred developers from all over Europe hack apps and services on world’s most popular APIs and SDKs.
Die hard offline and online/mobile know-how all right :) I promise to keep everyone updated on this, before, during and after the event.

Wieden + Kennedy London has recently unveiled a first of its kind interactive TV campaign for the new Honda Jazz called “This Unpredictable Life”, in which an iPhone app (iTunes link) is used to literally grab content from the ad (YouTube link) as it plays.
The campaign uses what is called “screen hopping” that works by having sound from the TV ad recognized by the iPhone App. The app then uses the predefined sound waves to know which character to display on screen at that moment, essentially giving the ability to interact with the TV ad in real time.
Once you have got the character, you can interact separately with each one away from the TV ad, by doing things like singing into the iPhone to make the characters dance.
Brilliant! (And I guess this is only the beggining..)
A flowchart by Jessica Hirsche to help you decide when and when not to work for free. It si funny and suprisingly accurate.
My favourite is the “are you masochistic” question :)
