Saturday Stuff - Tags

I do a lot of research with my job. While most of it is online these days, I still love flipping through a book or magazine.
These punctuated page markers from See Jane Work are way cuter (and I’d argue, more effective) than plain, old post-it markers. They make me smile.

Saturday Stuff - Sharpie Sherpa

Alright, so now you know all about my Sharpie addiction.  But even I didn’t know there are accessories for Sharpies!  Sherpa makes shells that hold a variety of pens, including the classic Sharpie.

Consider our seatbelts fastened.

We are working on a pitch for a new piece of work that will include traditional and new media, and this is definitely new.  Developed with FLARToolKit, an even cooler version of Actionscript 3, you can create a nifty 3D whatchamacallit.  I don’t know what you call it.

Postcards… The Dry Hump of Marketing Strategies

I know I am at least a year behind the times, but a friend recently sent me a link to check outFrisky Dingo, one of the completely bizarre yet oddly hilarious animated shows on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
In the pilot episode, Killface has kidnapped a few ad agency nerds to promote his Annihilatrix, a device that will [...]
