Nice ad found by Jane! I wanted to post this video a long time and tripped over it at some point. There, tell me how long it takes you to know what this ad is about… (find out after the jump)

You could have barely missed the fact that I’ve been a community servant now heading towards the mysterious thing called university. Before filing my Zivi (community service abbreviation) experience ad acta, I am providing a list of five several furious facts in a very FM4 copycat fashion. On today’s (my last day of service) agenda is: Reporting my Zivildienst experience.

One is growing into Orange. There better be no political implication with that (in regard of the Nationalrat-election coming up next weekend), but other than this hope, I have to admit that I am a kind of geek stoked by what they will make out of this rebranding from fat-lettered one (the blue doughnut) into really simplistic orange square. I really liked their campaign and yesterday I just saw a really good spot. I look forward how they are going to reform the presentation (their font style, their ads, their leaflets) and the public image of Orange Austria.

Learn the past, watch the present, and create the future. 

Again a really good picture from Jon Shaft. I already liked the picture in the little Flickr preview, but grew to love it even more when I read a comment submitted to “My Daily Routine”:

super hero shaft… peers over his town from his modest Chicago apartment. great shot man. (comment by ryanpphoto.com)

Fact is, Google Knows (Already)

I found this Google mocking page (via swissmiss) that displays Google’s knowledge (whatgoogleknows.com) in large Helvetica - or is it Arial -letters. Now that they have the Google Chrome browser, the companies list of things they will know about indivuduals surfing the web will be most likely to be bursting at the seams.

This pretty much explains the pickle the US economy is in. The thing that worries me is that it’s not like it is only affecting people in the US. No, it turns out it grows into this global thing, undermining the wealth and comfort of modern society.

The Perosn Who Doesn’t Make Mistakes is Unlikely to Make Anything.

Jon Shaft, one of my latest flickr favorite discoveries, writes as a citation for his “Happy Mistake”:

vespa mistake. this is what photographers call a “happy mistake”: I set up the xpan with the self timer set, and ran to sit next to erica, but forgot to change the timer from 2 seconds to 10 seconds. happy mistake.
