New t-shirt day!
To be fair, those who know me, know that every second day is new t-shirt day. But that doesn’t mean it’s not special. Or that I’m not excitable.
You see, today’s new threads arrive from the lovely folks at Kowtow. The New Zealand-based designers recently released their Equilibrium collection of organic cottony goodness. And in amongst the basic selections of tops, bottoms and sweats was this Consume gem.
Spend your hardly-earned pay here. Oh and best of all, this month 10% of your moolah goes to help Chch.

Glasses free 3D on iPad.
With a front facing camera now on iPad 2, apps can now track a users face in real time. This allows for some really interesting tech to be shown off. Like, being able to ‘mock’ 3D as you move your head. The possibilities for this are great. Imagine being able to find hidden items in games simply by peeking. Or being able to pop out of cover in a FPS simply by peering over the top. Can’t wait to see how this is implemented in games.

Soo much Cool Kids wednesday!
Up front we gots The Cool Kids x Nike x Footlocker x Grotesk colab. And wait, is that (among less important others) El Heat’s Chris Bosh in the joint? Yessir.
After the jump there’s a parody clip for the Chicago/Detroit based “new black Beastie Boys”. Plus a free download of Bundle Up thanks to everybody’s favourite label, Green Label Sound.

Stihl ‘Mercy Dash’.
Classic work from DDB NZ on the follow-up to 2010’s Bequeathed (below) for Stihl. Nice direction too from Robber’s Dog’s Adam Stevens.
Hmmm. Nothing more to add here really.

Kiip - A new way to advertise through mobile
I reckon this is a start-up worth watching. The idea is simple; Reward gamers with real-world gifts (think coffee’s, ice-creams and more) just for leveling up in mobile games. They already have a bunch of partners involved, so expect to see many brands jumping on this very soon.
Read the full story over at TechCrunch.
Wish I’d thought of this.
Cash moneyz for shooting birds at pigs. Brand engagement with Bajillions of unengaged bird-launcherers.
Everybody wins.

Why a fictional character is the best copywriter in the world.
So I finally finished Mad Men Season 4 on the weekend. Not sure how I managed to dodge all the potential spoilers for the last year. But hearing the above letter being written / read, gave me copy goosebumps.
Oh crap. Probably too late to yell *Spoiler Alert*, isn’t it?

I want to make flowchart ads.
Euro RSCG walk us through the filmmaking process for Canal+. Try and deny that you like a good flowchart. Just try.

A very special visitor.
Our lovely receptionist Lozza was finally allowed to bring Mr Delicious into the agency for the day. Suffice to say everyone went gaga. No work was achieved. And puppy sales are forecast to skyrocket.
Say hi to the nice followers, Mr Delicious.

Fight For Your RIght Revisited trailer.
We’ve been looking forward to the MCA directed, Beastie Boys promo film since before we even knew it existed. The cast is ridicilis. With hopefully a plot to match. And I could keep yabbering on forever but it’s best that I shut up and let you watch.

MK12 invites you to the drive in for a little fun.
I’m gonna be honest with you. I’ve had a mo-graph crush on MK12 for years. Sorry Illoura, MRPPP, but the Kansas dudes rulez supremez.
So when I got to work and found a trailer for a new in-house project titled ‘Fun At The Drive In’, I screamed a little. Girly, Beiber-mania screams.

QUAKED - Skating in Christchurch after the earthquake.
No shit. I used to skate in some of these spots. In fact, the quake-made quarter pipe (3:55) is on a stretch of pavement I hit every day on my way to work.

The Black Lips know how to make Modern Art.
Apparently the secret is LSD. In the latest clip from their Mark-Ronson-produced-sophomore, Arabia Mountain, the band trip balls with giant squids, skulls ‘n’ flags and dream of blowing shit up.
Not how I was planning on spending my afternoon, but monkey see…
