Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Is it a bird, is it a plane???

No it's Felix Baumgartner as he attempts to skydive from the edge of space.

Baumgartner is one of the world's most celebrated B.A.S.E. jumpers and extreme athletes.
 
At around 1.30 p.m. UK time today Baumgartner will attempt to skydive from an altitude of 36,576 meters. The jump will take place above Roswell, New Mexico and Baumgartner is attempting to become the first human to break the sound barrier unaided by a vehicle. After

The highest skydive record is held by retired US Air Force Col Joe Kittinger,  who lept from a balloon at an altitude of 31.3km in August 1960. He is also part of Baumgartner's team and will be the only voice to talk to him over the radio during the ascent and descent.

Good luck Felix I hope you are successful (I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling as you look down at earth)
