Evelien Lohbeck’s notebook

Again, the web delivers something awesome to my retinas – this time the awarded movie / animation by Dutch artist Evelien Lohbeck titled the “Notebook”. Her style reminds me of the incredibly simple Google product animations done by Commoncraft (for example, here’s the Google Docs animation) Noteboek from Evelien Lohbeck on Vimeo. Totally beautiful and [...]

Cuteness over crappy days

Since yesterday was a bit of a crappy day, I needed some cute overloading to make the evil monkeys stop pointing their fingers at me – and then I found this in my RSS reader. The monkey-like creature in the video is a Loris, and it looks so unhappy when the scratching pauses. If you [...]

Gorilla viewing glasses

Just like dogs and good people, Gorillas have been taught not to stare. Since a lot of humans are a bit retarded and spend time in animal-staring sanctuaries, we have spent our knowledge and unbelievable brain power to make pieces of cardboard that have pictures of eyes in them – and a hole we can [...]

The Beckham Terminator

Ad agencies, brand building, ooh, aah. I’d like to see the effect on business this advertising campaign has. David Beckham rubbing himself with a phone that looks like a, um, I don’t know – a lady shaver? Still, it doesn’t tell anything about the product, its price, when it’s coming out, what does it do [...]

The week on Varha.com April 13th to 19th

Oy vey, interesting week behind us again and here’s a collection of articles from Varha.com that have been very popular this week. Seems like people are more interested in the small, quick things, pictures and videos instead of the longer “articles” that you actually have to spend more than two minutes watching. Finland gets nuked [...]

The Hobbit movie not one, but two!

That’s right, all you Quenya-blabbering, pointy-eared, Balrog-yelling, dwarf-loving lunatics out there – The Hobbit will be two movies instead of one, and they’re coming out in 2011 and 2012. Hopefully before the Mayan end of the world. The movies are written and directed by, oh, I don’t know – fukn Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2, [...]

Spam’s electric bill? $3 Billion USD

Antivirus and web security company McAfee commissioned a research project from ICF International to measure the ecological effect of spam e-mails. Of course, it’s all about the carbon footprint now and everybody is up to the challenge. Now if only we could have a company to sell us a software that kills sp… oh, yeah. [...]

Finland gets nuked by world

Yes, if someone or something that’s not Finnish by origin mentions anything about Finland, we will talk about it forever. At least our country was destroyed in South Park

BMW’s checkmate to Audi

This was going around in IRC yesterday and since I’ve already shown it to many people in the office, why not put it up here as well. I think this is not only a beautiful ad, it is very innovative and has humor. Also, I have to say that the BMW ad is better since [...]

The most important question?

Although Lag Wagon sings that the kids are all wrong, they do sometimes have something brilliant in their simplicity. With kids, I naturally mean very young ones, nearly babies. They have an endless curiosity and usually will continue their question barrage of whys after you’ve just finished answering the initial question. Of course, after a [...]
