You Need a Techation
i don’t think that many of you will argue that you might need to take a vacation from technology. if you do the following, you need to take a break, really.
1. sit in front of the tv with your laptop
2. interrupt eating / drinking with your friends or family to answer a call or text (that you are not expecting). i understand that sometimes you are waiting for someone to contact you to meet...
those embarrassing texts
we’ve all done it and now there’s a home for it. welcome to textsfromlastnight.com. here are some real good ones. enjoy!
(302): I woke up this morning with my shirt on upside down. (1-302): You mean inside out. (302): No, upside down. I ripped the neck hole in the process of getting it around my waist.
(541): I can’t believe you let me try to pierce your nipple with a dart...

Hungry Like the Wolf
i don’t doubt that nearly every woman wants a manly man (or girl - see below) and even if he’s a little soft or emotional, that can be rectified by wearing the wolf t-shirt. this shirt has made love connections many times over. just look at some of the reviews.
“While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a...

Cards of Change
it’s a hard time out there for agency folks. clients are pulling back spending, dropping agencies, delaying campaigns and that means that agencies, not all, are getting really slim. that means people are looking for jobs in many different ways. Cards of Change is a site that allows creatives and other ex-agency folks to upload their own revised business card. some are very creative; it...

WatchNew Zealand agency, Publicis Mojo, created the Schweppes film festival. It’s great to see a NZ agency receive such world-wide recognition. The films have reached YouTube’s top 10. What I enjoy most is that the product is not overtly shown, something that would have ruined the shorts. Remembering the BMW film series from years ago, I’m curious how Schweppes is following up on...
Finding a job, the 2009 way
James at Big Wheel showed me this site this morning - getmikeajob.com. This is probably one of the most creative ways I’ve seen someone look for a job and he utilizes only social media to do so. What happens? He lands a job just after two months, he shows his expertise in social media and he lands a job that he actually wants. I’ve been there before and the shortest amount of time it...
Horse legs
this is probably one of the most ridiculous things i have ever seen. i’m short, i wear heels, i wear really high heels at times, but i don’t think i’d ever go to this to add 14” to my little 5’2” frame nor do i want to ever look like a horse. i can see this used in some crappy reenactment of some sort happening in a small town in a crappy park that has dead...

The business card you can eat
you can print on anything these days so why not have your business card printed on beef jerky. you can provide your information while also giving someone a piece of food. to top it off, if they put it in their wallet it will make their money smell like meat or if they place it in their pocket, they’ll get grease stains. maybe this is the card you give to the people you don’t like. i...
