Qashqai Cars Viral



Incredible skateboard style stunts done with cars. Made to seem like there is some sort of underground subculture that breaks into warehouses and container storage yards to perform these tricks. Not real of course, but fun to watch.

Beware the unintended



This is a logo for the town of Whitesboro, located in Oneida County in central upstate New York. It is supposed to depict wrestling matches that were ways the white settlers and the Native Americans bonded. But it doesn't really look like that, does it.

>>from the town website

(the founder of Whitesboro)... lived among the Indians as their friend and the Village Seal depicts a friendly wrestling match that helped foster good relations between White and the Indians. In the publication of the book commemorating the Whitesboro Sesquicentennial 1813-1963, complied by the First Historical Club of Whitesboro, is the Origin of the Village Seal.

eew. wash your hands


Wednesday, 24 January 2007


washyourhands.tv won't tell you anything you haven't heard a thousand times from your mother, but maybe this time it'll get through.

Slapping life sized decals over the door on the way out of men's bathrooms, JWT Toronto is drawing attention to hands and germs and things that spread.

Small stickers close to the doorknobs read "You washed. This guy didn't." or "92% of guys say they washed. 34% were lying." with the website name.

At washyourhands.tv, there are virable videos that should put hand sanitizers on men's must-have lists.

Its not just me.

Just watch and tell me that this is going to sell popcorn. It may have gotten a lot of attention, but not in a good way. I just wonder, am I missing something? Is it because I remember those ads Orville used to do when he was alive?

RW Broad Group Logo



I recently had an old friend call for some help on creating and identity for his new real estate business. The RW Broad Group has developed an online community for sharing experience and expertise called the Portland Real Estate Cafe . I am sure it will work out for him. I hope the logo helps him achieve that success.
