Blogs are the up and coming tool for marketing your business. Might be. I've blogged off and on for five years. It was a simple way for me to note places I had visited and to record my thoughts. As I grow my own business, this blog chronicles some of my thoughts on design, business and odd stuff that I read as I travel the web.
How to Find Lost Objects Some days everything is lost. But this amazing little meme is going around the Internet like crazy. Simple problem. Simple and amazing solution. I wonder how many people buy the book just out of Gratitude. I wonder how many people make a little poster out of the principles? I know I am. I wonder how many people would buy the poster?
Pricing a Project - Blue Flavor And how right on this is. I find it difficult to show a client how much the project costs. But this provides a very straightforward presentation and so either you estimate the hours or simply record them.
Albino Blacksheep - Flash / Honda Accord Ad You thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing... There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The 2 minute commercial cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence.

Mr. Lube Okay I have to admit I'm impressed. I got a nice personalized letter from the manager of the the Lube shop I went to last week. As one of my buddies says "They look to the uninformed market and upsell like crazy." Did I really need that new PCV valve? No probably not but at least they didn't try to upsell me on my clean air filter. And they caught the broken CV boot. Fo a guy on the fly who doesn't want to mess with oil and lube... a great deal. And for a longer post here is the letter:

Base Camp Chance Ruder came to my attention yesterday through a blog that I read regularly. 14 years old and making a difference in the world that he would like to see. Reads like he had a pretty unique upbringing but still a pretty amazing story.
Smithsonian Oral and Video Histories: Marc Andreessen The founder of Netscape gave an interview in the mid nineties to the Smithsonian. Inspiring? Absolutely. Plain no nonsense guy that loved making things accessible to people.
