Nothing really needs to be said about this. If you have ever worked with clients who always question your estimates, do you wonder if they act like this in other parts of their life? Hat tip to Koroberi for posting this. Read More →

Free and Natural Running from Nike
The latest Nike ad probably won’t air on a tv near you. Nike has launched their new Free family of running shoes, which are as light and nonrestrictive as running barefoot, with a short video introducing the Bear Butte Running Camp. Several world class runners participate in the fun. Hattip to Brandfreak. Read More →
Cadbury Eyebrows
The Cadbury chocolate company has had great success producing witty commercials for British television and having them spread across the internet with millions of views. This recent commercial has over 3 million views on YouTube. The commercial was such a pop sensation that it was parodied by Lily Allen and Alan Carr, which also includes a reference to their previous spot.

BMW Paints a Picture
BMW has a long history of art cars, but this may be the first time they have commissioned an artist to paint with a car, rather than on a car.

He developed a different style for each color, and each style referenced another contemporary artist. He used remote control jets near the wheels to... [Read More...]

Belgian brewer Stella Artois and the Mother agency of London have created a series of short films that re-imagine the stories of contemporary cinema and television in the style of French New Wave. You can find all three shorts on Smoothoriginals.com, but my favorite is the updated, laid-back version of 24. Read More →
Bikini Clad Plane Promotes Magazine
Photo from Flickr I am a big fan of decorated airplanes, especially Southwest planes, but this promotional stunt to create the “SI One” and hype the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, the one issue of the year that generates enough hype on its own, is an odd combination. Not the least because of a recent situation where Southwest kicked a woman off the plane for her revealing outfit. Now there will be a bleary-eyed salesman in seat... [Read More...]
US Airways Holiday Greeting
I received this image in an email from US Airways. It has a bit of a classic travel poster feel, but it seems modern and current. I definitely like the idea that I am leaving my snowglobe encased winter wonderland and traveling to a tropical locale. I wonder what they sell in the giftshops? Read More →
Pizza Tracker
This past weekend the kids and I ordered pizza for dinner. I wanted Papa John’s, but the kids insisted on Domino’s because of their thin crust. This was the first time I had ordered pizza since I moved to my new house, so other than my general preference for PJ, it really didn’t matter to me. I didn’t know where either store was located, but I figured I would order online and it didn’t really matter. I have never ordered... [Read More...]
