Free productivity tools, like Google Tasks could be so much better... If only they played nice with the rest of my apps.

New iPad Ad

2010-09-09T01:44:00.000-07:00

Apple has released a new iPad ad on their website. The new ad continues with the company's new "iPad is" campaign. Seeing how it is such a new product to many, the commercial seems to try and answer the question, "what is iPad?"

The advertisement focusses on what makes the iPad so great: the apps, and the fantastic software. I wonder when the next iPad comes out?

Google for Doodle - New Zealand Edition

2010-02-02T14:44:00.000-08:00

Google is awesome! If you're in New Zealand and you go on Google, you just might catch a very rare Google logo. This one was designed by Google's own Dennis Huang as usual, but by a little girl by the name of Amelia Abbott from Nelson.

The search engine giant held a competition to see what New Zealand youth find particularly Kiwi. All of the entries were voted on and the winner won the prize of having her doodle displayed on Google New Zealand's home page for one day in 2010.

Genetically Modified Rice Looming Ahead

2009-05-26T22:45:00.000-07:00

Rice, a global staple crop is under threat it seems. The European Union is at a precipice. In only a few weeks the EU must decide to allow GM Rice access to EU nations, their fields, and supermarket shelves. The EU has become a powerful global opinion, and its actions will likely influence those of other countries around the world.

Scraplife: E-waste in Pakistan

2008-12-05T02:52:00.000-08:00

Wow! What an eye-opener. We've been hearing a lot about e-waste lately. Many big-name companies including Apple, Panasonic, Sony, and many more, have taken measures to reduce their carbon footprint. Greenpeace touches on this hot topic with an exposé on e-waste. You just bought a brand new computer; it looks fantastic. But, what happened to the old one that doesn't work anymore? Robert Knoth follows your trashed tech and shows you where it ended up along with what effects it's had on environment where it's been dumped. Get the full story with words and photographs by Robert Knoth.

OlivierLex Goodies

2008-12-02T04:50:00.000-08:00

It may be winter in the Northern Hemisphere right now, but down south, we're lookin' at sunny days. That's right, my friends. In this part of the world, Santa Clause wears jandals (or flip-flops for those of you not familiar with the Kiwi lexicon.) OlivierLex is getting into the spirit of the new year. Olivier Designs created a slew of new products for the company, with more still to come. With a new year comes new business. OlivierLex always puts their best foot forward, and will definitely turn some heads with their new custom-designed stationary and informative business presentation. These flashy new updates and more will be added to the portfolio for your viewing pleasure very soon.

Happy Halloween....Again!

2008-10-30T11:45:00.000-07:00

Just because I like you guys so much, I went and made you this card.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-30T10:45:00.000-07:00

Bah! Welcome Olivier Designs fans, welcome to my spooktacular lair. (maniacal laughter ensues...) Here's wishing all of you happy trick-or-treating and great costume fun today. Remember, Halloween has become a product of the commercial machine, so it's okay to get your spook on, or just to have a little fun, even if Halloween isn't really your thing.

(.....eerie music....) Okay, it's getting creepy now. Freak ya later; Happy Halloween!

New Site is Almost Up

2008-09-22T14:04:00.000-07:00

This is the first blog post. Although the blog is not yet up on the main site, this is still "blog-worthy," according to some - namely me. The new Olivier Designs should be up and running and ready for launch by tomorrow (Wednesday the 23rd of September 2008.) There are still a couple wrinkles I need to iron out, but it's really come together. I'm really proud of what Olivier Designs has become.
