Beauty: Who Is Defining It?
This ad was highlighted in the WSJ (may require subscription) as one of the best of 2007. I really like this ad. Like the content and the greater message that is delivers.

Video Cruncher
Excited to start throwing video at this bad boy!
Screen Sharing is Cool
I found that I can login to my Mac Pro and drive video product from my laptop — all while I lie comfortably in bed. I’m not sure if this is a Leopard feature or something that I’ve probably never tried.
Digital Christmas Card from Panerai
It’s been about 6 years now that I’ve been a Panerai owner. Today Panerai sent me a digital holiday message through email.

Sure Sign I’ve Been in Utah TOO Long
So there I was reading Ad Age’s latest Search Marketing Fact Pack minding my own business.
And a logo jumped off the page.
Stop reading. Look at the logo. What do you see?
[did you stop reading and look at the logo?]
I saw The Orem … as in that city next to Provo.
Sorry Theorem. Maybe we “Utahans” are [...]
Why We Need Alternative Fuel Sources
Because OPEC and everyone in the supply chain are excited to see the price of oil go above a $100 a barrel and prices at the pump go up, up, up. We need an alternative.
