Secret McCain Campaign Slogan Memo Leaked

I found this at the Huffington Post. It's written by some guy Lee Camp. It's genius.

With McCain likely to face Obama in the general election, it appears his staff has realized they have an uphill marketing battle ahead of them. Obama has some of the best marketing money can buy. He has a brilliant logo, multiple slogans, a pretty face, and he's even laid claim to the words "change" and "hope." The following memo by a high level McCain staffer was accidentally leaked to the press. It shows the McCain campaign's struggle to find the perfect slogan.

Eva Solo Water Flask




Nice... I like the subtle curve with the hard cut at top and bottom. Also like the red pop color. These guys do a good job of the dramatic and staying on top of the curve of trend.

Macworld 2008

If Apple was smart, the IPhone will come with GPS. GPS opens up so many possibilities in terms of software and subsequently usability. Just imagine walking down the street and keeping updated on the whereabouts of your loved ones. If you see them going near a grocery store you can text them and ask them to pick up some milk. You can set alerts to let you know when you're in the area of one of your contacts. You can be alerted when your passing by a store that's selling something that you found on the internet the day earlier. You can place an order to Starbucks and have the order beamed over as you're approaching the store so when you're there it'd be ready for you to just pick up. I feel there's so much to gain in incorporating GPS technology into an IPhone that it'd be a missed opportunity by Apple if they weren't to cram it in this time around or sometime soon. Hopefully we'll see this and 3G introduced at Macworld 2008 in a few days. If that's the case with maybe a hard drive bump or a SD slot and longer battery life then i'll definitely be rocking one of these in a few weeks.

DEE-SIGH-ner(d)

This vid is pretty awesome. He nails it. I know what you're all thinking... "isn't that you?" uh no... although I admit there are some similarities.

Perfume and Stardust



Lauren picked this movie out from Netflix. We got it in and watched it. I loved it. I wasn't really keen on watching it at first because it was Lauren's pick. We have very different tastes in movies. I never even heard of it in theatres and when I saw reviews of it on Rotten Tomatoes, which it received 53% on, I was convinced I wouldn't like it. My lowered expectations may have been the reason why I enjoyed it so much, but I thought everything was done pretty well. I bet the book was a hundred times better knowing that 1. the book is always better and 2. the movie was about scent which is probably better described then shown. Anyway, it was a surreal, twisted, funny, scary, suspenseful period piece that I liked very much. Probably my favorite movie of the year so far.



We also saw Stardust over the weekend which I enjoyed and Lauren thought was okay. Kind of a darker Princess Bride. I love epic movies of any sort. Both these movies fills that category for me.

Doodles



Man... looking back on my school days it's a wonder I even made it to college. I'm glad I did but I was a pretty bad student. I had the worst time paying attention in classes. I spent most of my time doodling in the margins, on the desk, in the books, etc. Even when I tried to pay attention to what was going on, my mind would drift and I would start doodling. Anyway, my doodles have evolved and nowadays, I get paid to doodle out ideas for things. Of course the quality of doodles I do to get paid is a little better than what I like to do casually but I still like pumping these little guys out just for fun.

Road to Gitmo



We saw this documentary last night. Really compelling. Although I consider myself anti-war/anti bush administration/anti gitmo etc... as I was watching this movie I couldn't help but sympathize with both sides.

It's obvious this movie was made to sympathize with side of the Pakistani guys taken into custody and basically tortured. The movie portrayed them in a way that its very easy to see yourself in the same situation. At least for me coming from an ethnic background. They were early twenty something Pakistani-Brits that went to Pakistan for one of the dude's wedding. In their trip they ended up in Afghanistan and unbeknownst to them taken to a Taliban encampment in the midst of the American invasion after 9/11. They were enventually picked up by the US and taken to Gitmo. No the guys definitly could've used better judgement in their vacationing decisions but their treatment on their way to and at Gitmo was a disgusting real representation of what's going on over there and probably elsewhere.

On the other hand coming from an American standpoint you find 3 guys from England at a Taliban camp and of course you're going to think... Jackpot... These guys are the real deal terrorists that need to be questioned. It's hard to believe the truth that these guys just ended up there on accident.

Eitherway this story is epic and very intriguing. I definitely recommend it to anyone that thinks every middle easterner is a terrorist. It humanizes the face of the supposed terrorists. It's one thing to read or hear about it through a 3 paragraph newspaper article... but its another thing to be taken through a detailed account of what they had to endure at the hands of our government.
