A Good Cause

I saw a commercial on TV for this organization and it was really powerful.

Unnecessary Instructions

I found the napkins at Chipotle to have some "unnecessary instructions". It has three visual steps on how to hold the burrito, unwrap the burrito and then eat the burrito. I guess they can be considered to be little visual elements that add to their branding and so forth, but they are definitely unnecessary, at least to me.

Uwe Boll

I just had to post this.

So there's this German director named Uwe Boll who makes films based off of video games. He works outside of the Hollywood system by getting all his funding from the German government and other overseas investors and sources.

Here's the thing... his work as a director sucks! He's been criticized as being the worst director ever! A review of one of Boll's films (Alone in the Dark) stated... "the movie should make all other "bad" movie directors feel better in comparison: "'It's okay,' they'll tell themselves, 'I didn't make Alone in the Dark.'" Another reviewer wrote that his films were "so poorly built, so horribly acted and so sloppily stitched together that they're not even at the straight-to-DVD level."

So now there's this online petition going around getting signatures so that Uwe Boll will stop making movies! And he's actually posted videos of himself addressing this petition. And he gets really irate and starts badmouthing Michael Bay and George Clooney. It's pretty incredible. Check them out:

The Juice Guys

So my product is Nantucket Nectars juices. You can find them practically anywhere and the their selling point is the fact that their juices are mostly all natural. The company founders are two guys named Tom and Tom that had humble beginnings.

The Company
Tom and Tom started their adventure servicing visiting boats in Nantucket Harbor. They bought a Boston Whaler, painted the name "Allserve" on the side, and a business was born. Their jobs consisted of delivering everything from newspapers and coffee, to laundry and other necessities not easily obtainable without a trip into town. What started as a local saying about their business soon became their motto: "Ain't nothin' them boys don't do."

With the Allserve business growing quickly, the Toms used the opportunity to start a juice company, Nantucket Nectars. They also opened the Allserve General Store on the island, created a distribution company to get their juice out to thirsty consumers, and opened the Juice Guys Juice Bar which, now partnered with Provisions, still exists on the island today.

Tom & Tom Story
Tom First and Tom Scott, known as Tom and Tom, met at Brown University in the fall of 1985. Four years later they graduated and headed to Nantucket. That summer they started Allserve, a floating convenience store servicing boats in Nantucket Harbor. The pair delivered everything from newspapers to laundry in their unmistakable red boat. One cold winter night they began mixing juice in a blender. The following summer they sold it off their boat. People loved it! They decided to call it Nantucket Nectars.

Today, Nantucket Nectars are available in many varieties: 100% Juices, Juice Cocktails, Nantucket Squeezed Nectars, and Nantucket Nectars Organic. There is also a Juice Guys Juice Bar on Easy Street in Nantucket. You gotta try Nantucket Nectars. We won't let you down.

Project 4orty 5ive at Fletchers

Hey guys!

This is a video of my band at Fletchers back in February. You can't really see me in it though because I'm on the far right corner of the stage and its dark. But you can see my arm, my hand, my watch and part of my guitar!
