Love the colors and the Milwaukee Power Pop via Cambridge. The Reckless Hearts video “Yer a Blur”, is Colorful, fun and low budget. Good things can be done.

Love Dan Jansen, Love the Winter Olympics, and Love this Visa commercial that uses both of these + emotion to it’s fullest effect. I’m curious to see if they unveil anymore ads during the olympics that are this moving.

I really loved the last Coldplay album “Viva la Vida” because I think it shows them back to form. My favorite song was “Strawberry Swing” because of it’s subtle charms and this over-the-top video is incredible. It gives this song a new direction because I never would have imagined the world they created to surround it.

I liked yesterdays Super Bowl Commercials. I feel they were more creative than in years past, and along with a well played and entertaining game I was captivated by them. I do realize now how biased I am though, because my favorites involved The Simpsons, Google and Sock Monkeys - all things that I love. Here are my favorites, biased or not, I think they are well made and fun to watch.

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’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..

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?

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?
