This reminds me of some of our clients. It’s like the video was produced for my company, LOL. If you are in any creative field you know exactly what is going on here and will relate immediately. If you are not in a creative field, well you can see how we feel and maybe tell me in the comments what are clients like in your field of work? Are they this bad? Do they tell you exactly what to do and even after you recommend the right thing they go against you, only to blame you at the end for the bad result? Check out the video below. (more…)

Mailchimp Template Throwdown

Mailchimp is having a template design contest where you can win $600 by er, designing a template. What’s the catch you say? well, it has to be designed in all tables and inline CSS styles. This is sometimes cringe inducing work, I tried to recently copy the layout of a design (They were expanding the brand, so the layout had to match) from a website to another. I Failed.

Imagine an Apache or a Cobra equipped with one of these rotor blades. Silent and Deadly comes to mind. blade-vortex interaction is the physical phenomenon that causes the ear piercing noise you hear when a helicopter is near. Eurocopter engineers have developed a new kind of rotor blade called Blue Edge that reduces the noise. The blades are beautiful one of those things where function follows form and not the other way around as it usually does. (more…)
