Breakfast at Sulimay’s – this is a great weekly series. In short, Bill, Ann and Joe meet up at a diner in Philly to critique current music. The twist? They’re retirees. Hilarity (and astute reviews) ensue. Read more about the gang here.

Google Buzz so far… Feb 10, 10

I've been using Google Buzz for all of a day now. One thing I don’t like about it so far; every time I see the Google Buzz logo in Gmail, I think my browser is hanging and I’m seeing the OS X spinning beach ball of death. Admittedly a minor annoyance, but it gets me every time.

One thing I love? The icon used to illustrate 'just the good stuff' blurb on their promo page:

Cool Chiquita Campaign Feb 4, 10

Very cool campaign for Chiquita — makes fantastic use of their abundant free “media”. I really like this because it's an idea that's been there (probably) for as long as the brand's been around, and all it took was a little creative thinking to give the brand some great personality.

Nice touch Jan 28, 10

Nice touch in the iPad Gallery — the 360° is just a series of JPEGs and the ‘spinning’ is handled via JavaScript… which means it works in mobile Safari. No Flash. No Quicktime. It just works. It feels like Flash is losing more and more ground every day.

The most awesome/ridiculous/corny piece of digital video you’ll see this week. Guaranteed.

KC Design Week Jan 27, 10

I’m happy to announce that I’m a presenter at the first annual Kansas City Design Week on Thursday, February, 4.

I’ll be presenting with couple of other guys from work; we’ll be talking about the impact of design on business and how a the perception of a brand is shaped by the design of products, user experience and messaging. We’ve had a few calls with the organizers of design week and quite a bit of brainstorming amongst ourselves. After a breakthrough today, it feels like the presentation is finally starting to come together… excitement is building.

KC Design week is all about celebrating the value of design, including graphic design, industrial design and architecture. There are a bunch of cool design-related events throughout the week (all of which are free), so head over to KCDesignWeek.org to check out the schedule and reserve a space for yourself. From what I’ve heard, about 90 people have registered for our session, which means we’re *this close* to a sold-out show.

And if your at the AIA building on the 4th, stop by and say ‘hi!’.
