Hi. I'm an ad man in San Francisco. My job is to do my damnedest to make media suck less by leveraging the magic of the internet. It's a daily challenge, but I kinda like it.
Don't start a movement.
I want to start a movement in creating advertising that actually talks about the product and people's relationship with the product, instead of making some big emotional bullshit statement. Anyone with me?

Spoon is fucking awesome.
Official video for "Written In Reverse," by Danny Clinch. Also features a live session recording of the track as opposed to syncing with the more polished album release. So sick.

Yo, iPad Haters. Suck on this. (or, How the iPad will also Completely Revolutionize Digital Advertising, Again)
If you were still wondering "why would I want an iPad," allow me to provide the first piece of in-depth evidence of my on-going assertion that the developers and content providers will define the value of the device. There are some early concepts about how advertising is affected by this, the ever-closer promise of an interactive print ad is just the beginning of the era that is going to bring purpose back to the print-style designers and advertising creatives who are currently feeling pressure defining their value in the "digital world," while putting the interaction designer into the brand campaign concept conversation. I cannot fucking wait. Watch this video and tell me if you don't start to see why this device might actually be "magical."

Pedobear is going to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics
As reported by the Telegraph, someone got "creative' in a Polish newspaper and slipped Pedobear in with the actual mascots.
Whoever is responsible is my hero. True story.

Check this out.
Google has started adding estimated driving prices to their mass transit directions in Google Maps. According to the support page, it's based on milage multiplied by standard corporate cost per mile rates, so it's accuracy is dubious. The site forgives itself as " only an estimate and doesn't consider tolls, parking fees, or variations in gas mileage for different types of cars."
Still sorta cute, however, in our ever-greening digital information society.

These are awesome.

I want Vertigo or North By Northwest. I could also settle for ... basically any other one. Anyone feeling generous?
