A Package That Lights Up the Shelf

Packaging that lights up and looks like a mini lava lamp, pretty cool. NXT is a new product hitting the shelves with some ingenious packaging. I'm actually surprised that there isn't anything else like this on the market. Here is the full article: A package that lights itself up

Shave My Yeti.

Polartec just made me laugh and i thought i'd share the fun. This isn't a new site, but it's still a good one. The whole scenario with him running through the park is just ridiculous. It's a must see.

Great TV Spot

I was reading another blog where the writer posted a bunch of military recruitment ads from around the world. For me this was definitely the best one. The more you watch it the better it gets.

Gaming and real life.

Check out how super cool technologies end up in video games. Also, find out where else the technologies are being used. In the end, a lot of the technologies we see in video games have lives outside the gamers realm.

QR codes hidden in video

Very sweet indeed. Remeber the Pet Shop Boys? Well they are getting some buzz again with their new video and the hidden QR codes within. For us Yanks, QR codes are bar codes that contain digital information and can be read by cell phones. (For now, just european cell phones) Driving those who scan the codes to different urls online. Pretty nifty.

check out the hidden codes:

Wine Library TV

If you haven't seen Wine Library TV you should. Gary and team utilize the best of web 2.0. Here you'll find hundreds of webisodes on wine, an amazing resource and very entertaining. Gary's passion is definitely contagious. All i can say is kudos to Gary "VAY-NER-CHUK". I'm already a fan.

Social networking and life goals.

What a cool idea that leverages social media. Imagine getting support in social network to help you achieve your goals. As far as being useful, this might rank right up there with LinkedIn -- that is if you have goals! http://www.43things.com/

The experience is worthy.

This is probably one of the best sites I've seen in a while. It's truly an experience, between the interaction design, the music the high quality images. Awesome.

Not surprising, a good read.

Ads of the world.

Most creative people are inspired by what they see and hear. I came across this great site : Ads of the World

I've been to the site before but then forgot about it. I realized this time what a treasure it really is.

First of all it is great to see what marketers can get away with outside the states and secondly, it's just nice to see different perspectives on creative. Some of the stuff you'll see we simply couldn't get approved here in the US.

Enjoy.

World Golf Tour Online

World Golf Tour is worth checking out. It's an online golfing game ala most console/PC golf type games, but done using photography rather than entire 3D worlds. It's really nicely done. Fortune magazine had a full article about it here:

World Golf Tour Article

The article speaks a lot about how this game is going to have people slacking in the work place. After playing several times, i'm not sure that's entirely the case. Not yet anyhow. I'm going to keep watch for new features and social aspects that i hope appear. Making your golf team is great, but i want to be able to communicate on a higher level with my teammates. Maybe i'm spoiled though being a facebook junkie, twitter lover and xboxlive guy. Being a golfer, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

The game.

A great cause

Helping shelter dogs just became REALLY easy. For every photo you upload to this mosaic, pedigree will donate 1.00 to the Pedigree adoption drive. What an easy and great way to help! The Pedigree Million Dog Mosaic

Visual Shopping

For the visual shopper here is an interesting site. I actually am not a fan of this type of architecture, but I applaud the massive undertaking. Unfortunately for me, It's hard not to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and products on this site. The more I 'zoom in' the more lost I feel in this environment. You may feel differently though. Regardless, it's definitely worth checking out. http://browsegoods.com/

Please stop Facbooking me to death.

I don't want a beer, i don't want to grow an interactive plant with you. I don't want to score my music tastes, movies or hotness appeal with you.

Ummm, I just don't.

I've never been hit with so many useless applications at once, it's pretty remarkable. There seems to be no end in sight for these applications and it's driving me insane. A few of the applications that I like seem to be the more useful ones to me. For example, my Twitter app, LOVE IT. My Stumbled Upon app is nice also.

Is there a pop-account app out there? I'd love to check my email right there and i'd love to port over all my RSS feeds.

With so many applications that are forcing me to "forward to all my friends".. it's just getting old and I'm starting to question why i'm on facebook at all.

More later on this, i'm heading to FB to see if I've been friended by anyone new.

Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere

You've seen the impressive Sony Play-doh ads of bunnies basically taking over Manhattan, how'd they do it you ask? Check out this article about how the TV spot was done, 23 top animators from around the world gather for this massive undertaking. Very cool stuff

Owned

Good Lord! While we've been working hard to earn a buck, so has this guy. But, he's been a bit smarter about it. I mean, after all he's not writing about the creative bureau blog (but he might be someday).

The man you've never heard of who owns the internet.
