first, i saw this ->



then this ->

and ->





but, then i played with this ->

now that´s something else. everything came together. and coming together is always good.

pro strength. that´s prescription strength, but you don´t need a prescription to get it. take it from a pretend doctor.
creative comms. strategy. i love this.

where should i begin? well, i think we should start at the end. take a look at this.->



what you´ve seen there is called hardlinking or object hyperlinking. a hardlink links the physical world with the internet, for example a referencing .mobi web page to establish a link via a mobile phone just as a hyperlink establishes a connection to information on a web page, but from a physical source.->


it´s the internet extended to objects and locations in the real world.

and it´s done by attaching tags with URLs to tangible objects or locations. These tags can then be read by a wireless mobile device and information about objects and locations retrieved and displayed.

neat eh? yes, because it opens a whole world of ideas. ideas that have to do with interaction. i´m so excited by the things that are happening. also, because i think like this, but i´m liking print a little bit more, because this technology revitalizes the whole category! it brings mobile, digital, interactive closer to the process, it opens up a whole spectrum of comms possibilities and it almost seems limitless.

if you´re in advertising or in the comms industry, remember when you were starting out? how you´d look through magazines and archives and every ad amazed you? the ones from the 50´s, 60´s, 70´s, 80´s, 90´s. and you´d start seeing where ideas were going at that time. you were amazed by the "metaphor" ads, the copy ads, the minimal ads, the art ads, no matter who they were for, you were amazed by the ideas going in to producing meaningful communication.

after a while that all-amazement went away. you were in the NOW. and frankly, the now was a bit dissapointing.

so, now you´re looking to see what else can be done? because it´s our nature. we´re always looking for that spark that drives all this forward, the thing that makes it meaningful, worth doing, that thing that opens the doors for comms. having fun! and creativity.

think that we´re just starting a whole new era. the conversation era, the interactive one. and the pages are still blank, immaculate. there are maybe a few great scribbles on the top left corner but the rest of this "era" book is ready for us to doodle it to hell/for history!

so start getting ready for it. prepare yourself. be on your toes. i´m not saying change the way you think traditionally about comms, the esence is the same, my beloved observation is still relevant. i´m just saying stay connected. share. take opportunities. think. think. think. don´t be boring. risk it. because i´m sure things will work out fine.

now, i´m saying all this from Rosario, Argentina. my opportunities at work like this are slim. i´ll probably be behind all of you "1st world" creatives out there. but, hey that´s not bringing me down. i have a place to go, i know where i wanna be, i know i can do it. by always trying to go with something else.

enough with that rant. start believing. check this out. ->

it´s from here. read it on Ian´s blog.

more hardlinking for you, what you see above is a patch with a QR code. basically, it´s two-dimensional bar code. "QR" means "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

this is the QR code for my blog. ->


i got it at the Nokia mobile code generator. :)

think about it, you creative, you.
cheers!

you haven´t sinned Andrea. if you have, i´ll sin with you.
because dude, observation is a wonderful storyteller.

this one from last year. tone, right on.

and this one from this year. uniqlok? a little, but still great.

great work guys. cheers!

not in the best mood really. i´ve been lied to for too long. but i got to keep going, always with somewhere to go, do, always trying to go with something else. tell you more about that later. for now, here are coupl´a things from my delicious del.icio.us eye of Kilrogg.

enjoy.

Fede just sent me this. twisted amazing work.

my friend Fer sent me this. 4 mill views, ok, in a year but still. what does it say about humor? apart that it´s societies conscious stomach.

bla bla, just have a laugh.

i found out about this via mr. barrington´s twitt. it´s called Speed Stacks.

seems to be one of those viral-addictive-hip-but-geeky games/toys you get hooked on in primary or middle school. i can already imagine my kid brother playing this. it looks fucking great! very olympic, you know fractions of a second counting and all.

one question, how´d they get that last stack down so fast?!

and second, they´re just cups! used in a different way. kids shouting, clapping and laughing when they finish they´re speed stack. built tension that explodes in the end.
welcome an explosion of culture. communication. trends. ideas. marketing. business as usual.

does anyone see an analogy to thinking uses of media? traditional, digital, doesn´t matter what media is. let´s say they´re cups. isn´t the challenge doing something amazing with them?

i was looking for Flat Eric and i found the Muppet Wiki. Also found R.E.M. and REM in there. great stuff.

Lia sent me this flickr set. eeeeeeehhht rocks!

been quiet, been busy.

by the rut. found by bunny girl. :)

got to go!

RA DIOHEA_D / HOU SE OF_C ARDS

got to go! going to see wall-e with my littlest bro (11).
