Katie Kempner, VP and Director of Agency Communications from Crispin Porter and Bogusky (the most awarded ad agency in da woooorld), hosts a great podcast about advertising, strategy and PR. I honestly haven't had time to listen to it extensively yet (just a tad), but I salute the effort to share insights from inside the industry. Katie, I salute you. But please - speak a bit further away from the mic :)

Navigate Marvin through the obstacles with the arrows. Using the ASDF keys, change the Marvin's colors so that they match each obstacle's beam color. FUN-NAY! Don't write me if you're not having fun, though.

Besides initial nuclear-fission reaction, watch what happens when he finds out he also got a remote control car. Quote: "NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOOOOOUR and remote control car (pause...pause.) BUT NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR!" Unquote. Also, the slow-motion bit is priceless. Thanks, YouTube!
Alright folks, for starters here's an awesome animated short called "Humans", courtesy of Three Legged Legs, a bunch of folks from L.A. whose work I have absolute respect for. It makes you conscious about Earth a lot. Or maybe just a little. But anyway, I think it kicks ass. Enjoy.
A great new piece of software from some guys named Codewave, MyTunesRSS is a little application that allows your Itunes to create RSS feeds of your playlists, and let anyone with network access to your computer listen to your playlists through the feed.
What's RSS? Really Simple Syndication. It's a way to publish stuff on the internet, and have people subscribe to the stuff you publish. Podcasts are an example of what RSS is.
So why is this great news? Say you're at home with a PSP, a computer, Itunes and some time to lose. Well you just create a playlist of your fav tunage on Itunes, and have MyTunesRSS create a streaming feed of that playlist that you can ship to your PSP and listen to anywhere in the house. Okay, maybe I'm too excited about this.
Anyway, it's available for Mac or Windows at Codewave.
Hello, my name is David, I'm an advertising art director in Montreal. Today's the birth of my blog, Ad Krispies, in which you'll have the pleasure to hear me rant, watch me draw, conceive ads, and boldly say what no AD has ever said before. You will find stuff, gadgets, things and more stuff. You'll see advertising, ideas, books, and things your mother warned you about. This'll be a place on which you'll want to come every morning, when you're just sitting behind your desk, for that little pre-work stroll on the internet.
This is your healthy way to start the day. Welcome to Ad Krispies.
