Man, this is happening so fast. I don't know if this is what's gonna save the magazine business, but well see. If the lower cost of distribution allows subscriptions to be much lower, maybe people will pay for this. This bodes well for designers and writers, but I still think the printing, paper and ink industries are screwed. I suggest if you're thinking about becoming a pressman, you'd be better off taking some programming courses.

Brilliant Google Chrome Promo

Amazing video by BBH, New York. The browser rocks too. I've been using the Mac version for a few weeks now. Really impressed.

Innovative uses of Augmented Reality.

Matthew Szymczyk of Zugara shares some really cool uses of Augmented Reality in this article on Advertising Age showing that it can be more than just a flashy gimmick.

This video blows my mind.

"Heaven Can Wait" by: Charlotte Gainsbourg with Beck

Directed by: Keith Schofield. Remember that name.

The Best McCain commercial ever.

Ok, I know that's not saying much considering a company that's known for notoriously bad tv commercials (namely the stuff from the 80's & 90's), but the work out of Beattie McGuinness Bungay in the UK over the past couple years has been real good. In fact, it was BMB that came up with the recent "It's all good" tagline which has recently been adopted by McCain globally. I believe they were also the first agency to successfully bring back consumer focus on the goodness of the potato as opposed to the "evil" of the french fry.

Sure it has a bit of a "Happiness Factory" feel to it, but in some ways, I like this one better. Although it's still a fantasy land, it seems more plausible and I can relate to it better. I may have smiled the first time I saw the Coke spot, I can't remember. I will definitely remember smiling at this one especially at the moment when the hands hug the potato. What a great visual and a perfect message for McCain. Awesome work.

Shrink your head

As part of their promo for Expedition Week, National Geographic build this nifty little 3D head shrinking app. Here's mine (using a pic of me when I was 10)...
