Homeless Banner

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Hey – our compadre LAchlan from Sydney just showed me this – from my own damn backyard. This is pretty cool. A Homeless banner – click and donate. Click and the banner heats up. Really clever. It is Stockholms Stadsmission who is behind it. And the agency is called Garbags Agency. Good job.

Farmer Jedi

Monday, February 28th, 2011

This doesn’t have anything to do with anything. There is a bit of storytelling in it, but aside for that it’s mostly our love to admire old aggressive french dudes, solving a dairy crisis with some iron plumbing…

Opening Ceremony NYC

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Yep,  I’m in New York. And yep, it is wonderful. And not to brag but the weather is like 22 degrees, so it is kind of an indian summer. Later today, I will be meeting with some people working with consumer insights across the Bric countries. I will let you more in on that project some time soon.

For now I just want to show my  favourite shop Opening Ceremony. It is like a treasure trove – a very expensive one though. Anyway their shoe department has this  way of welcoming people with great lyrics from the Doors:

Mechanical Animals

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Now this is spectacular. Artist Theo Jansen has created a new species of beach animals or mechanical beasts as he calls them. They feed on the wind and are afraid of storms and the ocean. Pretty self preservatory. Wonder if this is what Marilyn Mnson meant by Mechanical Animals. Wouldn’t that be neat.

Thanks to the geek Eva (GeeksontheInside) for diverting our attention to this fantastic installation. And of course TED TV – the best channel on the web.

Sony Ericsson models, toddlers, surfers and guidos

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

This is just funny. Sony Ericsson should definately do more like this and less with bouncing balls and stuff. It works as a viral in the this can’t be for real sense – which all of it definately can’t. And they manage to feature some of the salient product features like the web, video social media functions and the infinity button. Good job I like the Guido film the best. Gotta start chewing more gum.
