AT&T hits back?

AT&T hits back, well sort of? Im not sure how this clears up Verizon’s claim that they have more coverage, but then again it is AT&T united with Apple. As an owner of an iphone I can certainly back up verizons claim regarding how shitty At&t’s 3g coverage is. Living in the 5th largest US city, one would think 3g coverage from a major telecommunications company wouldnt be a problem but then again I think im supposed to be under the magical hypnotic powers of Apple so everything is fine.

Patient Magnificence


Lovely patient motion.

Airline blues created by Base Motion for a mini-movie project called Emulgator.

A series of quirky shorts that focus on those spontaneous and taken-for-granted details that make life interesting.

There’s magic in the mundane. Extraordinary in the ordinary. New in the old, unexpected in the expected. These are the roses you’re supposed to stop and smell. And they’re not waiting around. Are you paying attention? What are you missing? Stop. Look. Listen. Now isn’t here for long.

I am Razorfish of Publicis

Publicis spends $530m to land Razorfish

Publicis spends $530m to land Razorfish

For me Razorfish holds a special place in my heart for being the first major agency to show the world that you could run an agency whose sole purpose was digital services primarily focused on the web and actually thrive. I credit both Razorfish and The Designers Republic, who sadly to say went RIP earlier this year, for playing a major role in my drive to become what I am today in this industry.

In their height Razorfish kicked the dust off of the straight laced advertising world and proudly stood up to say, “We Are Rock Stars!”. The amazing part is they not only expected to be treated as such, they actually were. Unfortunately in the coming years, as internal corporate global growth took hold, they got so muddled up, charging millions for “strategy” meetings and delivering fewer and fewer tangible results for every client-dollar spent. And as many boutique agencies started to spring up off of the Razorfish wake it became clear that highly creative and motivated “rockstars” could be had for pennies on the Razorfish dollar.

Years later Microsoft would absorb them into their own corporate collective while still allowing brand atonomy. But by now the Razorfish that once was had died long ago. As different as hip-hop was during its infancy compared to its blinged out status now Razorfish is also culturally no longer and has not been the Razorfish I remember.

Mad Men meets The Twilight Zone

Every year the Sci-Fi channel, or should I now say SyFy channel, plays a Twilight Zone marathon on the 4th of July. This year was no different and during moments when I wasn’t enjoying the beach I was catching ever minute of it. I saw an episode I had never seen before called “A Stop At Willoughby” about an Ad Man working in the high stress world of advertising, I think the agency was called Gyro but I can’t remember. Anyway this Willoughby sure seemed alot like Cape May. Enjoy…
