Incredible, inventive VW flash site
I spent quite a bit of my Saturday morning exploring the Fox Volzwagen flash site. Definitely worth the load time.

According to POW, “Vhils walks the streets of his native Portugal and takes pictures of homeless people, he turns these into oversize silkscreens and prints the images onto thick art paper with a concoction of household bleaches and then dribbles ink over them.” Read more. →

Obama-Biden: targeting youth with erroneous domains
Another example of the Obama campaign’s ability to target youth: MySpace and typos.
In an attempt to visit my least favorite social networking site today, I mistyped and accidentally wandered on over to myspaec.com. I was surprised to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden smiling and looking slightly to the left.
Under normal circumstances, I might be frustrated by this type of advertising. However, in this instance, I think its a rather unique method of attempting to gather interest from a specific population. Well played, sirs.
Though purchasing misspelled domain names is certainly not a new idea, it is an idea I haven’t noticed in mainstream politics before. I’m not convinced the Obama-Biden ticket has anything to do with this initiative; the whois information reveals nothing.
I attempted to contact the domain owner for more information. Who wants to bet I hear back promptly?

Rejecting the familiar with Intel’s Digital Home Initiatives team
Since I moved to Arizona four years ago, I’ve been working tirelessly for the man, specifically designing web sites and other digital miscellanea. Tired of the same old song and dance, I set out to spend my summer working for as small a firm as possible, exclusively in print.
Its funny how often I am reminded; life cannot be planned.
Intel, for those of you in the dark, is the world’s largest semiconductor company and employs nearly 90,000 worldwide. They invented the x86 series of microprocessors, or for the technophobes, the brains that power most personal computers. Read more. →
