    Reverse Aging To Gain Insights

    Empathy is not usually a word that springs to mind when I think of good design.  However,  MIT believes that’s exactly what the designers, product developers and engineers of the future will need.  They believe that we have to come to terms with the fact we are an aging population, and we will need to [...]

    BeerFriender Helps You Buy A BeerTender

    Heineken came up with a cheeky promotional idea for the festive season. They launched a fancy keg called BeerTender that lets you pull fresh draft beer at home for $99. However, they acknowledge that it’s not really the time of year to buy yourself gifts.  Yeah, that whole “season of giving” thing.   So they [...]

    SPENT: Could You Make It Through The Month?

    The Human Truth of the Living Vicariously™ wave is: “To me, that was almost real.”™ Here is a website that has put this wave to work in an engaging way.

    Indoor “Camping”

    Trust Berlin to make staying in a trailer uber cool.  This converted vacuum cleaner factory has been converted into the kind of place I would describe as a “destination hotel”.  The concept is out-the-ordinary and quirky enough to make you want to tell everyone all about it. The Hüttenpalast has been created by Silke Lorenzen [...]

    Losing Your Self In Literature

    Here’s an eye-catching campaign that fits nicely in the Living Vicariously™ wave. It’s called “Become Someone Else. Pick your hero at Mint Vinetu” by Lithuania based Love Agency.  The print ads seek to encourage people to lose themselves in literature.  Apparently the bookstore is known for their classic novel specialty, so the characters that the [...]

    Rebecca Black Viral Reveals “Popstar For A Day” Biz

    Over the years we’ve watched the rise and fall of horror archetypes. We’ve blogged about a few of them too, from vampires to werewolves. And now things are lining up that point to a possible revival of the wicked witch.

    My Adventure in Scare Gaming

    The game is called Amnesia The Dark Descent; it’s a horror survival game. Except that’s where it takes an interesting turn. You don’t fight; or level up. You run. All in all, it’s a total emotional rollercoaster.

    Na’vi and Avatarism

    As we move further into or out of the recession, depending on your viewpoint; people are looking for new forms of escapism. It’s why video game sales go up, and people pile into the box office for action and comedy movies. What’s new with escapism now, is escapism is slowly going to place where it has to mean something.
