Wow - I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles, but check out this commercial for the Beatles Rock Band that was announced at E3 this week. AMAZING animation!

Looks like the company who was a major contributor to my freshman 15 have done a great job with a recent rebranding. I like it - it’s super modern and clean looking. I’m not completely sold on the font used for ‘in the box’ though… it seems a little too tech. Overall it almost makes up for their lackluster superbowl stunt.

Feeling uninspired? Check out these works recently shown at the Lucent L’amour exhibit - especially John Park’s Harlequin Ape. Wicked good.

The Zombie Apocalypse is for reals

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:27:00 -0500

If your one of those who doesn’t believe in reading books then you probably missed 2 of the most important pieces of literature EVER written that would have surely helped you survive the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse (found here and here).

Normally some would chalk that up to thinning the herd, but fortunately there’s still hope for all of you learn by picture types out there.

Put together by a group of amateur film makers and released late last year, Survive The Outbreak (featuring some top notch Sci-Fi channel grade acting) is a unique choose your own adventure/movie/website that will show you what NOT to do when the ZA hits. Actually after playing it for a bit, the best advice would probably be not to do anything these people do at all. Just do the complete opposite and you should be ok.

I swear - as I was pulling off the highway yesterday I was stuck behind a truck and as I sat there and read the back of the trailer. I couldn’t help but think to myself “what a nice font - I wonder what it is?” and I’ll probably never know.

Funny thing was as I was reading Swissmiss today I came across this iPhone app.

And speaking of gold - the super bowl was a few days ago and I still can get enough of this commercial.

I know it’s been a bit since I last posted, but with the holidays and kicking ass at e-dreamz I’ve found little time to comb the blogs like I used to. I did come across this video today which I thought was gold.

In a move that is aimed at increasing the number of advertisements the average person is capable of seeing in one day - a group of computer scientists from Stanford University has created a service that will allow embedded advertisements inside a video. If you’d like to try for yourself and maybe be the person who gets the ball rolling on commercials inside of a commercials head over to ZunaVision.

4 years to go

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:19:00 -0500

Today I saw the preview for the movie 2012. From the little they show you it looks amazing, but It got me thinking. Could the world really end as predicted by the Mayans? I decided to find out for myself and headed down to Chichen Itza. I spoke with the locals and listened to them tell the stories passed down from generation to generation, all the way back to the Mayans themselves. To be honest with you, they scared the bejeezus out of me. After I got home I headed straight for the computer and entered the lottery over at the Institute for Human Continuity. In case you’re wondering if you should as well - I’d have to say no. Definitely a big waste of time. You’ll just hurt my chances.

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:23:00 -0500

If you’ve got a few minutes today, check out Nokia’s extremely well done microsite called The Unloader. The whole contraption is run by Nokia’s new phones the E71 & E66. They were specifically built to receive, read, then print all the different types of files that people get sent to their phones. Most phones have trouble with this I guess. I wouldn’t know because I’m usually 5-10 years behind with my current cellphone.

I’m still on the fence as to whether this is actually happening in a room somewhere. Either way it’s fun because I just tarred and feathered my co-worker Thomas. No hard feelings man.

Cool new commercial from Toshiba called Timesculpture - shot using 200 Toshiba Gigashot camcorders using the same technique that helped Neo dodge bullets.

Not your grandmother's wallpaper

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:55:00 -0500

Wallpaper isn’t one of those items that you think would advance dramatically over the years, but today Gizmodo announced Fiber Optic Wallpaper from Camilla Diedrich. So it’s probably a safe bet that 20 or 30 years from now our children may once again be scraping every flat surface of their new home.
