Let’s see what I have today. First up, a beautiful time-lapse project of Pittsburgh:
IGN has a great article: Why Video Games Matter.
I missed this when it debuted, Harry Potter, 10 years later:
Wired has a cool article up about children’s exploration in Pittsburgh. Check it out.
And lastly, I don’t watch it very often, but I like it when I do, here’s a fan-made opening of 30 Rock:
Note: This was mislabeled and unpublished from the back-end of the website, sorry about that!
Alright, let’s see what I have this time. First up, some amazing ads from Greenpeace:
ABC has ordered a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot, to be written by Joss Whedon, which is so incredible to hear! But don’t worry, Captain Hammer is ready to help!
It’s funny and cute:
Sadly, a lot of Facebook Brand pages look like this.
If you’ve ever wondered what the layout to the apartments from The Big Bang Theory are, here they are (although I can’t imagine an actual building would have these kind of layouts, they strangely work well for TV:
What if a t-rex fought in WWII? Find out here.
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon!
Quick update for everyone, let’s see what i Have this time.
First up, the Fifty Shades text generator. Don’t use boring Lorem Ipsum, instead, spice up your fill-in text with poorly written drivel!
Posted next to an office printer:
And finally, probably the best way to surprise a child with the return of a parent from overseas:
Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I’ve found today. First up, this pretty awesome wallet. Although the guts of it are too simple for me:
Apartment Therapy has pics and vids of an amazing Star Wars barrel organ, check it out.
Here are the highlights from SpaceX’s Dragon’s dock with the ISS:
Buzzfeed has a list of six really cool pieces of street art, I’m a fan of numbers 2 and 4.
And this amazing promo item from Comic Con:
A very good, and heart-wrenching ad from the Clio’s:

Quick update tonight before I’m back tomorrow with a larger one, here’s what I have for you right now:
I feel as though I need this. Because I do: a handy chart to tell you what produce is in season when.
This came up twice on my Facebook feed, and I love it:
Check out more, and I think those of us in PR should be posting this one more often:
And of course, The Onion Nails it: Republicans, Leukemia Team up to Repeal Health Care Law.
Okay one more:
Quick update for everyone, I”ll be back with much more very soon as well.
First up, this is just adorable, so if you’re having a bad day, prepare for it to turn around:
Stunning art made from plastic water bottles, you can see more pics here.
Also from Copyranter, an awesome ad for seatbelts and an incredible series for Child Abuse Awareness. He also has a cool ad buy for an S&M shop, but no one in Pittsburgh would have seen these, you don’t hit the bottom of the ketchup bottle, you smack the ’57’ near the neck with the heel of your hand.
I never even thought of this, but of course, it’s amazing:
Slog has a great post, “Band Names that double as ways I would want to die.” My favorite: Trampled by Turtles.
This chart is made from data collected this May (2012). Sigh.
And finally from Nerdist and PBS, a primer on 8-bit art:
That’s it for now, be back soon!
Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I have this time. On a side note, I’m finally getting to some really old links I’ve had stored away, so hopefully I’ll be getting through most of them soon, although I’ll have to see how many links still work. Anyway, onto the content.
First up, awesome Star Wars portraits from the 19th century:
Pretty awesome video over on Vimeo: travel cross country via Google Street View.
This is a really cool idea, although I tend not to like the texture of onions, I really like the idea of the pepper rings.
And lastly, there is hope for humanity after all. I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Okay, big update, here’s what we have, hope you enjoy:
I’m thinking last year’s Star Wars ad (for VW I believe) will be better, but I’m excited for this, if nothing else, the promo:

Courtesy of Copyranter, coupled with the fact that only 39% of American’s believe in Evolution:
Ogilvy is a giant of a ad agency, and Copyranter pulls out a great quote:
If all else fails, I drink half a bottle of rum and play a Handel oratorio on the gramophone. This generally produces an uncontrollable gush of copy.
How much do I love Sesame Street:
Clintus posted this awesome pic on his blog, check it out.
I also don’t usually link to food type things, but this looks delicious:
This also comes from Copyranter (I’ve been clearing out my RSS feeds) and he found it from Australia:
Ragan reports on an awesome interview given by the CEO of Morgan Stanley:
Morgan Stanley’s employees need an attitude adjustment.
At least that’s what CEO James Gorman thinks of his staff who are aren’t happy with recent 20 to 30 percent pay-cuts among senior executives. He also limited cash bonuses. In this Bloomberg Television interview, he outlined three reasons his employees shouldn’t be upset with a smaller salary.
1. They’re “naïve” and should read the newspaper.
2. Compensation shouldn’t define their overall level of happiness. If it does, “you have a problem which is much bigger than the job.”
3. Life’s too short. “If you’re really unhappy, just leave. I mean, Life’s too short.”
This man is amazing! But is it sad that just using some common sense is now considered amazing? Check out the article at Ragan to see the interview and read more.
The most amazing peephole ever:
I have mixed feelings about this, but I think we should keep the leap second. There’s something quaint about the atomic clocks lining up with the solar calendar.
This video is about the ad world, but much of it applies to clients trying to describe what they want:
Need to figure out what to eat and drink together? Check out Foodpairing.
Joseph Gorden-Levitt lends his talents to autotune the news:
It’s macabre, but I like it, I just think it should have been a :30 spot. So great idea, but sloppy execution. But still, powerful:
That’s it for now, I’ll be back with more soon!
Quick update for everyone, lots of videos this time around too:
First up, 10 misconceptions:
Awesome new shirt from Pittsburgh tees. Check it out.
This is pretty awesome, there are giant roots installed at historic sites in Mexico as a giant art project. Pretty cool.
Awesome cover of Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain, and I think I may like this better than the original:
An insulting law (the same type was ruled unconstitutional by the courts in Florida) was taken back, after another lawmaker decided to make it more fair. The law would require anyone applying for public assistance submit to a drug test, and the other lawmaker added a provision making lawmakers submit to the same test. Florida struck it down, since it violates the idea of unlawful search and seizure, but before that happened, through the testing, it was learned that only 2% of those applying for aid in Florida were drug users, compared to 10% of the general Florida population.
Star Wars Uncut was finally released! People from around the world were asked to submit 15 second clips, and the whole movie was pieced together:
And finally, check out this awesome experiment used with Google image search.
I’ll be back soon with more, have a great one!
Another update for everyone, hope you enjoy:
Scientist have found a spiral star. Not a solar system or galaxy, but a star. Really cool, check it out.
This is really cool, watch to learn how much The Internet weighs:

Death to Pennies:
NPR has an awesome article about NaNoWriMo, by the author of The Night Circus. Which, by the way, is an amazing books, and one of my new favorites, you really should read it!
Wes Anderson’s new movie looks really awesome, and it includes Edward Norton! Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP0QJ_Ba1Bs
Death Star PR approves of this letter. And so do I! Which first of all, if you’re going to be a go and talk about Star Wars, you better know your stuff.
And finally, I think it will take longer for us to see these, considering that now we’ll need power running to our windows, but it would be awesome to see above sinks (for when washing dishes) as long as it includes links to online video:
Thanks again for reading, have a great one!
