I will have a bit more time on my hands in the next couple of months and so I have decided to celebrate by letting off a balloon. Virtually of course. I am going to take part in the first online balloon race. Don't quite know how it works yet but I like the balloons.
I liked the idea of the orange animal packages from the start. The films were great (see here) and I thought that giving people who use their cell in a particular way an animal name was very clever. It taps into our inate desire for story telling and metaphors. Even if there was some inital discussion about the types of animals.
And now I get to be my own animal. I chose a dolphin. Like lots of other people. Semiotically it is simply the most sexy animal as far as I am concerned. So help me swim or fly to freedom. Thanks.
