Jordanne — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:53:08 +0000

After a holiday weekend of grilling out, spending time with friends and family and watching explosives light up the sky, it is important to remember what the Fourth of July is really all about. Before we take our freedom for granted, here are a few zany freedom of speech laws from around the globe. FYI-you [...]

The Sensory Experience: Photography + Design + Music

Jordanne — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:23:56 +0000

Nothing makes me more excited than a new release from my favorite band. Lucky me, The Graduate released two “name-your-price” EPs this spring. While one of the EPs contained b-sides from their sophomore release, “Only Every Time”, the other was a collection of songs written for an art show that most fans never thought they’d get their [...]

Great sports ad

I feel guilty I “forgot” I loved this ad, and that my son actually commented on it, but it’s worth sharing here. Aside from the utter simplicity of the words at the end, check this out: the Stanley Cup slowly gets “lifted” into position until it is securely overhead in the victory position. Note also [...]

This spring, Jesse traveled to Madison to check out the concert by his favorite hip-hop artist Macklemore. Having met Macklemore briefly at a prior performance, Jesse got to the show early [...]

On the Road

Anyone ever take time to notice the newer freeway “panels” on the interstate? These are the “blockers” that protect the nearby homeowners from having to see and hear the way-too-close traffic. Milwaukee’s panels absolutely blow. My big complaint is the don’t “sit” nicely in place and even though they are brand new, they appear all [...]

This time: Ford

Brad — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:28:33 +0000

Me again. I can’t get over these recent batches of car commercials. Now, I’m fixated on Ford TV commercials. We like Ford, right? Ford kind of squeeked through the auto industry beat-down in one piece. My main complaint is: their spokesman looks like he just stepped out of the Workers Party or Bolshevik Revolution. It’s [...]
