THE SOCIAL CONSCIENCE // issue #2
THIS ISSUE: INTEREST NETWORKS / RETRO RETURNS / OBAMA HANGOUT / TIMELINE FOR BRANDS
A SOCIAL NETWORK BASED ON INTERESTS…UM…
running with the concept of “following interests, not people” (cue the intro for chime.in), news aggregator wavii decided to skip the painful step of making people create content. instead, it simply aggregates news from google, presenting it in a...

THE SOCIAL CONSCIENCE // issue #1
WHAT IS THIS AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?
simply put, this is a creative’s take on the world of social media through a few choice weekly articles. you don’t have to care, but it doesn’t hurt to keep abreast about the more under-the-radar thoughts about social media.
FAIR WARNING: this is all incredibly biased. i’ll be offering my opinion, so if you feel the need to fight...

gmail "app" blows
shame on you google. it’s not a real app, just the web app in a wrapper. just as slow and not enough for me to switch from my native iOS mail app.

ad-a-day #25 anti-joke.com
being in advertising, we’re always meant to twist some bit of truth, manipulating it in some way to gather attention. usually, it’s about being unexpected and clever. however, there’s usually not a whole lot of truth left in the end. there’s something to be said about how unexpected bluntness and honesty is. antijoke @ http://www.anti-joke.com is hilarious to me, but there...

ad-a-day #24 TED (something a little different)
did you wake up about ten years ago and think, “it’s the year 2000; where are the rocketpacks and flying cars?” well, guess what? it’s been over a decade and there are more problems than ever, but seemingly more solutions out there. in today’s social, economic, and technological climate, there’s this pressure to keep moving forward, and really, we must, in...

ad-a-day #23 the dirty
do you remember those kids back in high school that would trash talk everyone? oh, you would never have done anything like that, of course, but those other people did. well, in the age of the internet, that hasn’t gone away. in fact, it’s probably worse than ever. and nobody is safe. but, in all this chaos, one site has become a type of vigilante in this endeavor: hating on those that...

ad-a-day #22 national enquirer
stumbling through the internets, looking for an ad-a-day, you come across a lot of “questionable” sources. sure, not everyone’s online blog is as legitimate as adaday.org, but at some point, there should be a level of trust and reliability. well, this is no new argument. in the hey day of the tabloids, one rag stood above the rest…the National Enquirer. now, it’s...

ad-a-day #21 snorg tees
we’ve all seen people wearing them: the uber-hip-totally-plugged-into-the-mainline-of-pop-culture t-shirts. there are a bunch of these companies, but near the top of the list is SnortTees at http://www.snorgtees.com. i have to admit, i think most of them are pretty damn funny, and they are subtly clever. the best thing i like about these shirts are their permanence. sure, they may go out of...

ad-a-day #20 national geographic channel
well, it’s been quite a while since the last ad-a-day (nearly a year), and a lot has been going on. but, as i’ve found out, jan/feb is kind of a slow time in the advertising world, so i figured i’d start ad-a-day back up. and the first one out of the gates is…not too shabby. the national geographic channel has been the subject of quite a few amazing ad campaigns. the...

my ads got accepted into CMYK issue #48
hey everyone, been busy at ogilvy, but i wanted to let you know that my ads got accepted into the fall 2010 issue of cmyk (#48). didn’t submit as much, since they increased entry fees from about $3 an entry to $7.50 an entry, but still put in about 12 pieces. oddly enough, after 5 times of trying to get into cmyk (some in design, some in advertising) with works that i spent months...

ad-a-day #19 nova's the elegant universe
the universe is big. deep, i know. but there’s lots of stuff in it. stuff we just don’t understand. but somehow, people on a public broadcasting station have figured it out. go to http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/ and you’ll find yourself face to face with PBS’s NOVA’s “The Elegant Universe,” a miniseries on “string theory”, one of the...

ad-a-day #18 wisdom bits
in my off time i do a little singing/songwriting, so i know how hard it is to come up with great lines. i have yet to have one of those musical epiphanies, but there are so many amazing songwriters out there to look up to. the site http://jontylercore.com/wisdom has a good little collection of amazing lines from such writers, showcasing them as “bits of wisdom”. thanks jon tyler, you...

ad-a-day #17 sparknotes
remember high school and all those great book reports? me neither. mostly because i got through as many of those projects by resorting to my favorite online abridged book resource, http://www.sparknotes.com. it’s like reading, but not really. sparknotes romliet, by william shakespeare - sparknotes crimishment, by fedor dostoevski - sparknotes wareace, by leo tolstoy - sparknotes
