Air Force Campaign

Monday, June 9th, 2008

[singlepic=226,300,500,,right] Air | Space | Cyberspace To see and hear advertisements for military services that includes Space and Cyberspace as sub-branches of the service is completely surreal. It feels like a mock sci-fi ad out of some cheesy TV show, but that's exactly what the US Air Force is doing with their latest ad campaign.

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Say hello to my little friend... I've been pining over them since they were first announced and this Christmas a few of my friends got me a Chumby. They may not look like a whole lot, but they're little Linux computers that run Flash apps with a touch screen and motion ...

1908 Beer Ad

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

[singlepic=118,200,500,,right] It's amazing to see what advertisers use to say to get people to buy their products. This Schlitz beer ad from 22 April 1908 is hilarious to read: The Doctor says "drink beer" to the weak and the convalescent. To those who need strength—need a food and a tonic. If it ...
