My friend Travis and I share an office. Our printer has been acting up lately. This was the best conclusion we could come up with…
And the reverse angle…

I haven’t met a person who did not enjoy the new Old Spice Commercial, “the man your man could smell like”. (WATCH IT HERE if you missed it somehow) In an age where we are so bombarded with senseless and ridiculous advertising it is refreshing to watch a commercial that is both creative and well-scripted. My hat goes off to the folks at Wieden + Kennedy for their work on this commercial.
I haven’t even told you the most mind-blowing part about this commercial. It was all taken in ONE SHOT. The video below will showcase the masterminds behind the commercial talking about how they did it, but when I heard this took place in 33 seconds I was blown away. The interviewer is rather annoying in the clip below, but make your way through the video to learn how they shot it in one fluid motion. Fake sets, nice aim and trolley galore!

Have you guys heard about this new Jay-Z album, The Blueprint 3? 
I don’t know how he does it, but the man continues to produce insane music. I realize you guys are probably over this song by now, but I’m not… and for a couple reasons:
– I can’t help but bob my head every time it comes on.
– My wife promised to sing a duet with me if I learned it on the piano.
The song is for my Old Friend Fox for re-introducing me to one of my favorite artists growing up and for unarguably Jay-Z’s biggest fan Zachariah Franklin.
“the city never sleeps better slip you an ambien…”

This crew of guys is driving a message to corporate America… literally. This small group of revolutionaries is made up of members from Krochet Kids intl., SEW creative & Patrick Meade Jones, and they are on a cross-country trip from Orange County, CA to Detroit, MI. The case they are building along the way – through community gatherings and events in Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha, Chicago & Detroit – is that large corporations can create both a personal and relevant connection to their consumers through engaging in issues they care about.
The end to this epic journey will be a meeting with Ford Motor Company, and these gentlemen will get to share there experiences of how a diverse group of communities responded and rallied around the work that Krochet Kids intl. is doing. Such a partnership as this, between resource & knowledge rich corporate America and grassroots organizations, could come to serve as a new model for corporate America.
What do you think? Do you believe a huge conglomerate like Ford could actually create more personal connections with you and I?
They are on the last leg of their trip – Chicago to Detroit- and we shall soon find out.

The photos from this art exhibit blew my mind. I’ve never seen a more clever use of old and broken skateboard decks in my life. Although I’m not tracking 100% with the sustainability connection, the art is amazing.
The exhibit, titled HARVEST, was created by the artist haroshi and took place in Tokyo.

This post goes up in honor of my good friends who are trekking across our glorious nation to the “motor city” Detroit, MI. There is a powerful story of change in their wake. Through the sale of Krochet Kids intl. hats they are inviting people to reach out in LOVE to war-affected women in Northern Uganda. And through their travels they are crafting a revolutionary case for corporate America to become pro-social.
Follow the madness as they stop in 5 cities in 5 days… www.motownbound.com And join with them in singing their road trip theme song (seriously).
Motorin’!

If you have an extra 35 minutes on your hands I would recommend taking a look at this short documentary about people who were laid off of there jobs during some of the toughest times of the recession and what they did with themselves.
Pretty inspiring.
