Digital Kitchen brings it again: True Blood
I have said before and I’ll say it again (even though I meant to say it about 6 weeks ago) that Digital Kitchen has done a phenomenal job on the True Blood intro. Before I wrote about the work on the Dexter titles and their work in general, however I have to say, as good [...]
Twitter Chatter
Whether it be a fad or not, Twitter is everywhere right now and seems to be picking up, wanted by its users or not, visibility and user numbers. People outside the usual tech savvy, easy UI circle are starting to latch on to the ‘latest’ communication tool. I have heard it on mentioned on several [...]
The Web of Life
Three weeks. It’s been three weeks since I’ve had internet at my abode and being a “work-at-homer” this is a problem. Am I going crazy? Yes. Was it nice at first? Not really. If I was on holiday somewhere warm, maybe, but this is normal day-to-day life. Things need to be read/watched/typed/sent/received whathaveyou. “What about [...]
Advertising is the new black
Have I used that headline before? First it was doctors, then lawyers, then detectives, then crime scene investigators. Now, it’s AdMen.

Done by the people at Showtime, they’re each unique and draw you in. Hop on over to Pajiba to check out the Esquire, [...]
Diamonds in the rough
Lately I’ve been pretty disappointed with the ads I’ve been seeing. Not just on television I suppose, but I am going to focus on that particular area here. That is until quite recently. The ad above just launched this week and is a 122 second long ad done for Hovis bread, created by Miles Calcraft [...]
A Kindred Spirit in a world full of Normals
Tony Kaye, director “I was excited about the idea of human life existing within a tiny pieceof technology,” he says. “As a kid, I believed that inanimate objectswere alive and reincarnated from a human being. For instance, now I’mlooking at my hat and thinking it was a human being that clearly didn’tdo so well in [...]
Ad (wo)Man Engrained
Just caughted a few minutes of the original Bewitched. Did we forget that there were shows out there like in the past – featuring Ad Men. Did I love the show because I wanted to be a wee witch or did I love it because I was an ad obsessee at heart…
