iCloud and Consistent Brand Experiences:

Apple’s release of iCloud is yet another reminder of the value of creating a consistent brand experience across channels and touchpoints.

Apple users formerly had to grapple with a seriously contradictory set of experiences — or at least those Apple users dumb enough to pay 100 bucks a…

Nothing like going balls out on a campaign

Very creative advertising for Verizon. I’m sure these posters were put up in areas where Verizon has better coverage!

No Impact Man - Movie Review

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:03:00 -0500

The American way of life: living above our means without thinking about how we are affecting the environment.

The “No Impact Man” way of life: living off the grid for one year while testing the boundaries of zero environmental impact.

The story of the documentary starts with Colin Beavin, his wife Michelle Conlin, and their two year old daughter. The family resides in a colorful Manhattan apartment with many of the comforts of life. That is, until the couple embarks on a yearly quest to detoxify their lives of living in excess. Their year is broken down into phases; first giving up the small things, like coffee, shopping, and consumer packaged goods. Later, moving on to the extreme like giving up electricity. This film is a few years old now, but this tale is an eye opening example of how we forget the simple truth that we choose to either negatively or positively affect our environment, by the decisions we make. Overall wonderful concept and well done documentary!

An amazing message from the movie:

Environmental problems in our planet have happened because of the breakdown of community, without community none of us feel accountable to anybody else… all of us are interconnected.

Number porting now available on Google Voice!

If you have two phones; one personal, one work phone (hopefully an iPhone, Blackberry or Android), and the contract for your personal is up, I have your solution. Port your number to Google Voice for $20, download the Google Voice app for your work phone and wallah.

You’ll have inbound and outbound calling through your GV number and you can cancel your old plan with your carrier to save you some $$$.

Disclaimer: porting your personal number to GV takes about 24hrs, and about 3 days to start receiving text messages, otherwise it’s pure bliss. Also, be sure to add your contacts to Gmail so that the GV app can dynamically download your contacts from the cloud.
