The Origins of Man.





What I love about this is you can see that someone saw the Heston clip, stored it up and then used it to set the tone for a great, great ad. Nothing has been ripped off, it's simply been used on the way to making something great. Standing on the shoulders of midgets, so to speak.

Man looks as though he is being swallowed by his own beard.

Celebrities on invisible bikes.



And why not? Check out this oddly compelling site here

Audiences move from "Massive Passive" to "We-Media"



A presentation on the rise of social entertainment and the ongoing migration away from traditional media.

Last.fm to start charging international users



It seems Last.fm has hit the same wall of international licensing fees as Pandora.com. The online radio service has announced that users outside of the US, UK and Germany will need to start paying €3.00 a month to continue streaming music.

It's still free if you only want to use it to find out about gigs, venues and new music, but it would be naieve to suggest this is what gets most people to the site in the first place.

It will be interesting to see what affect this will have, as there are are a number of websites that offer similar services such as seeqpod. com

After Run London, Nike does Run Human


Nike Running TV Commercial: "Men VS Women" from Adjunkie on Vimeo.

This is the latest spot from the agency with the second best name in advertising (after Think Meets Do), creative champions "72 and Sunny". I know that this isn't a Wieden's spot, but all the same, I wanted to congratulate Kim Papworth and Tony Davidson of W+K, London on being invited to become partners. It's the first time since 1996 that a W+K employee has been invited to become a partner. It's really a big deal. Not even the famed Jim Riswold was invited to become a member, nor was Stacy Wahl or Jamie Barratt, so it really is a big, big deal. I shall toast the both of them with my heartiest wine.

Sheep LED Goodness.

More tilt shift - Mardi Gras Goodness


Mardi Gras from Keith Loutit on Vimeo

What a great film. What a great city. Sydney I miss you like an amputated arm.
The Gay Mardi Gras. At a size that even the Reverend Fred Nile can enjoy.
