Paul Hastings: 30-second film

My friend Paul Hastings and his friend Alex Lerma submitted a 30-second film in a contest.

The contest required participants to create a 30-second commercial for the one card.
Paul and Alex’s video was one of three selected finalists. The winner will be chosen by popular vote on Youtube.

Here’s the link for their video.
And here’s a link on how to open a youtube account.

Riciclick

riciclick logo
This might be the coolest logo ever.
I’m actually not sure how to pronounce the name, but the logo packs a punch.
The slogan reads, “When you recycle it becomes a resource.”

Happy Fourth of July

Junk Mail reads:

  1. Happy 4th of July America
  2. Don’t Overpay For Your Medications

One of Many: [there was a brand name in the original junk mail, but I'd rather not advertise for them or such...]

[there was a link in the original junk mail, but I'd rather not advertise for them or such..]

And, yes, yes indeed, the source was cited as ‘Wikipedia’.

This is a pretty neat idea.

Also, I’ll be gone all of next week, and probably dead the week after, but I have lots of photos from holiday club to post when I get the chance.

Domo-kun

Domo ([Japanese characters cut]) Domo-kun) is the mascot of Japan‘s NHK television station, appearing in several 30 second stop-motion sketches shown as station identification during shows.  In 2006 his best friend Mibz, a talking hand, killed him.”

-Wikipedia
He is also very awesome.

“Domo-kun ([Japanese characters]) is a small brown open-mouthed monster hatched from an egg who lives with a wise old rabbit underground. He really, really likes TV and also enjoys rocking out to Guitar Wolf.”

-Domokun FAQ

 

You can also wear Domokun,

make a Domo box,

and even use him as your desktop background

Having People Over

There will be a game night on the 21st of March, Saturday, 7pm-10pm.

We’ll be playing Risk, if we get a full set, or otherwise just having fun.  You can bet we’ll probably end up playing Prison Tower/Stalk the Lantern.

 

You are invited.  But you must provide your own transport.  (I.e. we won’t be picking you up from, say, the US ;) )

As usual, you have to RSVP.  As far as getting the RSVP to me, you may use whatever method you find works for you.

 

Game night is no longer, officially, ‘Game Night’, as my mom claims that makes her feel like it’s a big deal and she has to do something.  So if I just say, “Hey!  Can I Have People Over this Saturday?”  That’s okay, even if it’s a lot of people.

New Pepsi Logo: Terrible Mistake or Ingenious Redesign

At the end of 2008, Pepsi came out with new logo:

old logos:

new logo:

As I’m sure you can imagine (and google) this has caused quite a stir among the online community.  To summarize, some people thought the change from wave to smile was genius.  Others considered the change absolutely pointless and ugly.

All in all, most people expressing their opinions dislike, but there are people who like it, people who don’t know, and people just questioning the change.  Then, more recently, Arnell, the company that created the logo, released a pdf detailing the reasons Pepsi chose the logo.

This too caused expression of opinions.  Most (everyone) thought the thing was bogus, pretentious, and just a way to make a logo sound impressive.

Personally?  I think the smile is splendiferously genius.  I like the plain cans with the simple sans-serif font.  However, I agree that the off-centered words/logo/calorie count doesn’t work.  The ‘si’ on the end is a little lost from the rounded ‘pep’.
What do you guys think?
