AMC's Mad Men is officially cultural phenomenon. Not because it won a ton of awards. Not because every blogger and Twitterer writes about them. Not even because Banana Republic launched a line of clothes inspired by the show. Mad Men has rocketed in the uber phenomenon status because cute little muppets are now teaching kids … Continue reading Mad Men according to Sesame Street
Future View: 1993
Today during my team's morning status meeting, we were talking about technology and how we're bummed that cars still can't fly like they did on The Jetson's. Then, I came across a post about AT&T's 1993 ad campaign "You Will" and their predictions for how new technology would impact our everyday lives. Makes me wonder, … Continue reading Future View: 1993

5th Street McDonald’s Hiring Friendly People
Just saw this video from a McDonald's in St. Charles, MO. The restaurant needed more time to complete this man's order, so they asked him to pull out of the drive-thru.

Holograms you can touch

We spray painted a Donald Duck figurine silver and shot a laser at him and through the magic of science, I now have a piece of glass in a jewelry box under my bed that has a 3D Donald Duck image on … Continue reading Holograms you can touch
Viral Video Wednesday
In addition to my last post about the web cam music video, I just found another great example of viral video marketing. This time, it's Benson mattress company's attempt to set the world record for mattress dominos. Mattress dominos? Yeah. See it for yourself: How ridiculous and fun.
