It’s the Eve of something big in children’s literature - JK Rowling’s sixth installment of the Harry Potter phenomena is launched tomorrow and it has already been all over the press even before it’s release.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was put on shelves nearly a week too early in a shop in Canada which had to be recalled. A court order was granted to stop any leaks occurring before the big day. The venue for the book launch has been moved from Kings Cross to Wimbledon after last week’s bombings. The book is also expected to break US records after Barnes & Noble announced over 3/4 million copies have been pre-ordered.

It comes to something though when adults are writing limericks about the book launch. While I enjoy the films and find them really well made, I have never understood this obsession adults have about the book. It’s written about kids for kids! It just proves that the reading age of the average adult must have dropped to about 12.

Anyway, at least London have got something to be happy about tomorrow. Enjoy your Summer reading the book - I’m just going to wait for the film to be made.

Let me know what you think. Its my first digital mix and, hopefully, the first of many.

Following the disaster in London, East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national “In Case of Emergency (ICE)” campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston.

The idea is that you store the word ICE in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted “In Case of Emergency”.

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It’s so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.

For more than one contact name use ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

Please will you let people know about this, it won’t take too many emails before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest.

I just popped over to the BBC website to catch up on the latest news and noticed this pretty cool logo for their Radio Amnesty scheme. The scheme is trying to get everyone to hand in any old radios that aren’t used any more that could be sent over to Africa. There were several things I liked about the graphic:

1. the way the “d” of “radio” was turned into an actual radio
2. how the radio signals were in the shape of Africa
3. the colours used
4. the overall simplicity of the graphic

I just thought I’d share that with you. It’s not often I get that excited about logos (if you can ignore the Olympics Branding post)…
