Food Waste and YOU.


A great little movie on food waste put together by Whole Foods and Good. It’s fun, simple and little movies like this I feel can have great impact on consumers and our society as a whole.

Tiger can’t catch a break

Picture 1.jpg
Tiger’s not having a lot of fun right now with all of his media coverage, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Play Tiger’s Transgressions a fun little flash game that’s a fun, albeit terrible concept (for humanity anyway). I think 18 holes of this is about perfect for where he’s at in the mistress count, so they should extend it as it now only goes to 9..

You don’t need luck with FedEx


A friend of mine saw this during the Vikings/Cowboys match up. Apparently if you don’t use FedEx, you might need some luck making sure it gets there. I think this absolutely a true story.

Love is All you need


This video was created to raise Aids awareness in Africa. 156 countries singing “All You Need is Love” by the Beatles. Watch this and stir your soul, (with a boat oar).

Leno and Conan…


Fun to hear another perspective on this late night switcheroo…

The State of RE


There is a movement happening more and more these days I’ve noticed, and that is the process of reinterpreting and reimaging past materials. Like reworking a movie, even a classic like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, or “Alice in Wonderland”. These movies by Tim Burton aren’t stealing I feel, but reinterpreting into a new medium and new age, for a new audience. Also the remixing of songs, like my New Years post of 25 songs, or this super cool song “Upular” by DJ Pogo using sounds from the movie “UP.” Creative intresting and making something NEW out of something that already existed. I think the imagination and creativity that seems to be flying around now is astounding. Or is it just me?

I’m on a Mac


A nice parody of the “Im on a Boat” song that was done on SNL awhile back. But this time a lot more relevant. That’s right. Sweet.

Sometimes things get crazy with client revisions. How hard could it be to design a stop sign?
