Saturday, April 10, 2010. The state of user generated digital content. A quick update on where shit is headed. Web 20 has been around for a number of years now. User generated content and social media is a bigger part of the Internet (for consumers), than any other type of site. But where does that bring us? Twitter, tumblr, posterous etc. Geolocation and augmented reality. Nothing new really, but we haven't seen any major use for these technologies yet. Foursquare aside that is, and even that's ...

Sunday, June 28, 2009. Starbucks vs Coffee Bean. Also known as why I never go to Coffee Bean but find Starbucks rather pleasant. Let's briefly touch on branding for these two places. They're both coffee joints. Starbucks set the standard for the "hang-out" cafe but Coffee Bean has followed suit. They're both more upscale than Old Town Kopitiam. So why does Starbucks do so much better in Malaysia? Coffee Bean (just today! Sure it's not chocolate? You ordered chocolate right? Your name is Din". It's so awk...

Thursday, April 30, 2009. Current trends in design : Movie posters. Don't ya love movie posters? A constant reminder of the biggest blockbusters coming up. Growing up in the 80s, I'm more familiar with this style:. For some reason people then preferred the faded illustration treatment. In Apple's attempt to redesign the fucking world, they've convinced movie execs to ship posters ala iPod aesthetics. Not sure how much this helps/harms a movie trailer's chances of being viewed. Links to this post. The pro...

I must say: Death and Advertising
http://rudyism.blogspot.com/2009/05/death-and-advertising.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. There is much demise in the industry. Some might say even more so, blame the economy huh? I've ridden this out with fake empathy and naive awe. It's the combination of youth, enthusiasm and a quote from Steve Jobs reminding me to stay foolish and hungry. But recently things have become more stark in their appearance. And I thought to myself, "Wow, my grandma really likes butter.". It's stories like those I wanted to put on paper. And now I can't. Because I was at TV shoots...But h...

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Peter and Jane revisited. Ok I don't remember them having parents. Here's my Peter and Jane story. Run, Spot, Run! Can't you see that dog is a fucking pain in the ass anyway? Learn some responsibiltiy kids. Hold on to your damn dogs. I almsst ran over one the other day. The owner was like 5 feet away. Do you think he was gonna pay to fix my bumper if I hit it? No way dude, he'd have made me pay to fix his stupid dog. Bloody rich folk in Bukit Damansara. Links to this post.

Monday, December 29, 2008. I want to fucking cut up my Ikea pillows and find out why they are so soft. They say it's downfeather. I don't know if I should feel guilty. Isn't that like killing a bird and defeathering it for the sake of my comfort? I feel like an absolute college student farming wiki for info but it says:. I dunno which method Ikea uses. They're all Swedish hippies anyway right? My karma should be in good stead. Links to this post. Sunday, December 28, 2008. Merry Christmas, etcetera.
