Why don’t we grow up knowing how to cook?
I was always fascinated by Jamie Oliver. Now I have a whole new respect for the man after watching him on TED. Here was this chef / TV celebrity / famous author who taught me so many things over the years about my kitchen, my diet, my family and most importantly, my community. I cook a lot; I'm Hungarian. Food has meaning to me.
If you haven't seen this episode of TED, Jamie challenges us to think about our surroundings, our society, and the need for education. At home and in our schools. Obesity can be eliminated if we show our children how to make an omlette vs. dialing Pizza Hut. Show them how to make a goulash or a tart summer salad. Explain food's origin; my parents did. And because of it I respect food the way I do.
Jamie even goes as far as creating a petition, but before you sign it, hear what he has to say. Then decide.
Slo-Mo goodness is in. Good business for the makers of the Phantom camera.
I'm seeing more and more brilliant pieces of video work - some commercial, like the Pedigree ad from TBWA Toronto, and some experimental, like the Pink Terror piece.
Whatever the case, I have to wonder why is "slow motion" video so hot/trending at the moment?
Do these bursts of pixel ejaculations amidst our hectic, 140-character limited day provide us with a sense of calm?
Stop and smell the flowers for a second (or two) and look at the details.
I dunno about you, but these slo-mos suck me in and make me appreciate the thought behind what went into the making of them.
Thanks all you slo-mo folks. For making me stop and smell the pixels.
Now back to our regular, hectic pace.

The Future of Magazines
Adobe and WIRED magazine introduce a new digital magazine concept that provides an immersive, interactive content experience for readers and innovative possibilities for advertisers. http://tinyurl.com/ylg4r2u The Future of Maps
Microsoft unveils some new features for BING Maps. Among them: Flickr integrated content (video and images) from popular places, Augmented Reality views of streets and monuments, and internal views of buildings. They even threw in a constellations setting. Amazing. http://tinyurl.com/yhufb3c The World's Most Influential Designers
From design thinkers to hands-on design doers in industries from graphics to industrial to auto design, BusinessWeek Magazine pulled together 27 luminaries that represent a diverse cross-section of design disciplines that are in some way responsible for shaping the world around us. http://tinyurl.com/ydtz64a The Power of Data Visualization
Someone once said "“The more visual an input becomes the more likely it is to be remembered and recalled.” Our industry is filled with complex problems that designers try to simplify with visual concepts. This humorous yet informative video talks about why data visualization is good for business now more than ever. http://tinyurl.com/y8nrovj Wrangler's Blue Bell Special
Wrangler Jeans are making a comeback in the fashion world. This approach puts the user, er, in total control of what the models wear and how they wear it. Fun, simple, totally immersive and worth sharing. Ladies, you'll want to put this on your Facebook page.

Here's another simple, fun and totally high on the social currency scale: What happens when you place a soda vending machine into a busy university cafeteria? Nothing more than a whole lot of happiness. And a few surprises. http://tinyurl.com/ycawesw

Personal Branding vs. Personality
Here's one for the group. What's the difference between personal brand and personality? #smchat
@JoeSzabo says:
Personal Branding is how you want business to think of you. Personality is how you want your dinner guests to think of you if they find a hair in their soup.
Eagle Man: I've Got Something for You
This golden gem - as bad as the acting, the lighting, and the writing may seem - will stay with you for the rest of the day. Eagle Man has that effect I guess.
2009 Internet Statistics: "One kickass overview"
Holy poop balls! A truly amazing set of stats eg. 90 trillion emails sent on the internets in 2009. As one reader in the comment thread so eloquently put it, "that's one kickass overview of 2009"
How Experience Works (The Coming to Jesus Moments)
Looking for some insight into fleshing out this concept a little further.
Near or at the completion of insights, the experience group starts to analyze the data. Based on fact and through continuous collaboration, experience concepts begin to trickle down well before stakeholders can see the final outcome. These experience concepts, or eConcepts, are a work in progress. The intent is to launch early and iterate often based on the data. Marketing is always in beta. There's still more to come. But that's another day. Client work starts now...
Thoughts?
