15 Minutes
Sunday, June 17th, 2007
Getting your 15 minutes of fame is getting easier. Kyte.tv is making it that much more:
I described it as falling somewhere between Twitter and Ustream, although Kyte has additional features as well.
Kyte Founder Daniel Graf says his company intersects the three fastest growing areas of the Internet right now – social networking, user generated content and mobile.

Think Different
Monday, June 11th, 2007
An interview with Lee Clow. He did the spot below.
Here’s an excerpt:
Mr. Garfield: Where do you think advertising is headed in a world dominated by binary code?
Mr. Clow: The world has evolved to a place where brands that need to speak to their audience have to understand that everything that they do is media. Everything that they do is telling their story.
…
Mr. Garfield: Has the creative community not been informed that there’s a digital revolution going on?
Mr. Clow: It’s been a little bit of dragging traditional creative people kicking and screaming into the notion that we’re going to do complete media expressions for the brands we work for, and we aren’t going to start with TV; we’re going to start with ideas.
Creative people are 50% ego and 50% insecurity. They need to constantly be told they’re good and they’re loved. And nobody’s figured out a way to celebrate the people who do interesting, multimedia accomplishments on behalf of brands. Sometimes it ends up being looked at as just kind of integrated marketing, where everything uses the same typeface and the same color. So it’s kind of denigrated by, oh, well, it’s just, you know, that old integration, whole egg bullshit. And sometimes it’s viewed as, that’s the interactive guy’s job, and I’ll do the main media.
Here’s a parody of the 1984 spot.

Paris in May
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007
For the past seven years, at the end of May, Franziska and I try to make it to Paris. This year we had the fortune of bringing Ellis along and it was just as wonderful as our previous years. We rented an apartment in Marais and wandered the streets soaking up the sights and sounds only Paris can offer at the end of the month.
