Yeah, it’s an ad, but it made me laugh the way only fake drunks can:

Photohunt Honeycomb: A fun after-hours Alpaca-spotting game for conference attendees in Canberra
Honeycomb the Alpaca by GeneShashin
Here’s something you won’t see in most cities. Honeycomb the Alpaca has been spotted over the years being walked around Canberra neighbourhoods on foot and being ferried around town in the back of a Mazda 121. He visits nursing homes and hospices. He’s “like portable happiness”.
If you’re organising an event in Canberra that’ll have people coming from interstate and overseas, why not add a fun challenge for attendees that’ll have them looking at the national capital from a different perspective; have a prize for pictures of Honeycomb on Flickr tagged with the conference name too. Score one point for a picture of Honeycomb out & about and two if they manage to get a picture with Honeycomb, or maybe have a first-past-the-post competition. Judges would have to be able to verify the image on the camera, iPhone, whatever and then verify the date/time stamp and geotags on the Flickr upload to make sure it’s a legit image.

Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach
If you haven’t seen them yet, there’s still a few days left for you to catch up on the first episodes of Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach on the ABC’s iView site.
The blurb from the ABC Shop for the DVD set goes something like this:
Television well and truly collapses in on itself in the much anticipated inter-related soap/comedy-drama Echo Beach and Moving Wallpaper. This release features the complete first series of both shows.
Echo Beach is set in the coastal town of Polnarren in Cornwall, and follows the lives of Daniel (Jason Donovan), Susan (Martine McCutcheon) and Mark (Hugo Speer), and their families and friends. Mark and Susan are married with children but their loyalties are put to the test when her ex-lover, and Mark’s ex-friend, Daniel, turns up in town after 20 years to set up a surf-shop-cafe. Secrets, rivalries, passion and surfing, all set against a beautifully romantic Cornish backdrop.
Moving Wallpaper is a fictional depiction of the soap’s production office; going behind-the-scenes to expose the antics, arguments and backbiting of the show’s staff, helmed by the irrepressible producer and ‘mastermind’ Jonathan Pope (played with relish by Ben Miller). Filmed in a mockumentary-style, this comedy-drama cleverly pokes fun at the TV industry and its players. The cast of the soap regularly appear as versions of themselves; throwing diva strops and pestering writers for more lines, providing plenty of in-jokes and cross-over stories when viewed alongside Echo Beach.
Apart, neither are anything special, but watched in sequence the jokes set up in Moving Wallpaper are realised in the comedy hidden under Echo Beach’s soap skin.
Get over to iView now and get the first four shows before they expire: Moving Wallpaper episode 1, Echo Beach episode 1, Moving Wallpaper episode 2, Echo Beach episode 2.
Moving Wallpaper airs on ABC1 Wednesdays at 9.30pm and Echo Beach airs on ABC1 on Saturdays at 6pm.
