The calendar says "summer" but the weather says "spring." At least it's still Friday!
If you're not spending all your free time on our Facebook page, you're missing out big time:This week discover the science and engineering of car door sounds. (Really-- there's a reason why expensive doors go "prunk" and cheaper cars go more like "klang.") Daydreaming at work is okay! Smelly iPhones! The evolution of the coffee cup lid! And more! Yes it's all worth exclamation marks... you'll just have to go see. So take a "mental health break" and spend some time checking out the links below. Last but not least, stop by our Facebook page and answer the Weekly What? question: "What are your plans for the upcoming Fourth of July weekend?" We'll see you there! 
Your business has a brand whether you like it or not.If you run a small or medium sized business (or even a big one!), don't fall into the trap of thinking you don't have a brand. You do. And if you don't actively work on building and maintaining it, your customers will create one for you and you'll have an "accidental brand." Get involved and guide the way your business is perceived. Read more >> Please don't lick your iPhoneThis might rank right up there with scented markers (Purple/grape was our favorite). We can see it now "I LOVE making calls on my iPhone because they smell so good! Smell more >> Guess what? The sound a car door makes when it closes has been carefully, deliberately designed.When you slam the door on your fancy-pants automobile and it makes that satisfyingly solid "ka-chunk" sound you're hearing the result of lots of work by engineers to make it sound just so. Lend us your ear! >> We knew it all along: daydreaming is good for you! And work!When your mind wanders, you do your most creative thinking and problem-solving. So kick back and have another donut. If your boss stops by your cube you can admit: "I'm hard at work problem-solving!" (via our friends at The Zella Company) Read more >> Creative uses of large stickers in outdoor advertising.The potato one is our favorite, although it's a bit more than just a sticker. The Apple Store window sticker is pretty neat, too. Take a look at some "Sticky" ideas! >> The design evolution of the humble paper coffee cup lid.A lid's a lid, right? Maybe took some engineer about 5 minutes to come up with something to cover a disposable cup and prevent the contents from sloshing all over the place. Right? Nope. Read more >> Amazing, and even beautiful graffitti.Sure there might be some debate about the artistic merit or legality of graffiti on public structures, but you can't deny that many of these creations are quite visually striking! Go take a look >> "Looking into the past": before and after photos of locations around the worldThese photos feature historical images overlaid on contemporary photographs, creating a small window that provided a glimpse back in time. Very neat visual effect! Go see! >> If you know of someone that might enjoy this short diversion form the work day, please click the "Forward email" link below. They'll be glad you did! |
