Beautiful

Long day. 5pm and i’m fatigued. But this brought a huge smile to my face. Orange TV - Rewind City:


The timing and acting are both superb.

Sundae

Classic photos recreated in Lego:

Annoyed at not being able to access the last of the jam from a jar - here’s a brilliant solution where the jar has lids on either end:

I like the Tokujin Yoshioka Little Garden Table:

No feature phone, the Hop-on: Long battery life, no frustrating interface, lets me just make a phone call. I dig. Only problem is remembering the phone numbers!

Campaign for verbal abuse:

Become the king of bluff. Nice ads for poker magazine:

The Hairwash project, intriguing:

Difficult is worth doing

Found this new Honda ad on Creative Review. A team of sky jumpers spell out the brand’s name to promote the ‘difficult is worth doing’ philosophy:


The ad was shot live, the first UK TV ad to do so! Done by Wieden + Kennedy London who have been doing some crazy cool stuff lately.

Why

Why do all of my programs use the floppy disk icon as my save icon? I haven’t used floppy disks for about 10 years I reckon. Kudos to Apple for killing off those annoying unreliable things.

Why does my computer at work still have a floppy disk?

Email, USB drives, CD’s, DVD’s, FTP - all great alternatives. Well, I wouldn’t say great. I can see everything being solely internet based when the internet becomes ubiquitous. Then ‘computers’ as we know them will become our storage devices until they too become ubiquitous and we have virtual digital displays and then they’ll become ubiquitous and we’ll use mental telepathy to get things done and then humans will become ubiquitous and we will all be killed.

You heard it here first.

Attenzione

This is excellent, The Day there was no news:


The Geneva drive, used in watches. Activity for this week, use Geneva drive in a conversation.
