The leaves are quickly falling, and your shorts are going into hibernation, Yup, it’s that time of year again to layer up. For some men, sporting a cool stache is a hip(ster) way to keep your face nice and warm. For those, like I, who cannot grow a mustache or beard of any sort due to my Asian heritage, I like to sport the Screen Stache. It’s fun and open to men and women! These gentlemen will protect your computer, Mac or PC, and will keep your office/home environment nice and toasty, ready for the chilly weather.

Communications Industry Ping Pong Tournament held at Spin in NYC on September 24, 2009
Bing sponsored a table tennis tournament last week at New York’s brand spankin’ new “table tennis social club,” SPiN. The event was open to professionals in the communications industry and appropriately titled “The Egos.” We participated (and brought along the riff raff).

Like many of the 70-ish firms participating, we held an internal tournament to determine who would rep the agency. The victor was Christopher Van Auken. He would be heading to New York and I’d tag along for the ride. We call Chris’s backhand “John Henry” because its sheer speed and force rivals that of the folk tale hero.
Yeah, that guy over there. That's Chris.

The agency recently received word that our work for the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is being recognized by Graphis. The BRA brought us onto a team of experts tasked to help revitalize the Downtown Crossing neighborhood of Boston. From there we created the Downtown Crossing Executive Summary, a compilation of our findings on what makes the neighborhood unique and a clear strategy/vision for its future.
If you’re not adverse to the Web site posing as a book type of thing, you can browse the whole thing here.
We’re looking forward to picking up the Graphis Annual Reports 2010 Annual book in January 2010 to see the Executive Summary alongside all of the other winners. Congrats to all involved!

I know…. it’s just so obvious. But yet, but yet… It seems every year there is one blatantly retro synth confection before which I stand helpless and silly-struck. Sally Shapiro last year or so, Neon Neon before that, Baxendale, etc, etc, now this. La Roux. Perfect. Three singles. Big in England. They all sound exactly the like the cover of “In for the Kill” looks. Enjoy. (via shepelavy.com)
