Seriously Silly

Stories From Home.

02.25.2010 Home

I’m on the last night of a road trip to Austin, Texas. It’s been my first plane trip since baby Sarah was born in September.
I miss my family. Emails like this about our 5-year-old son, Will, make it a little easier … and a little harder …

Goodbye Twenty Minutes of Your Life: Old Spice

02.20.2010 Work

The making of the Old Spice “I’m a Man” commercial from the Superbowl. Pretty much one take with very little CGI.

Speaking of takes, my buddy Scotty has an interesting one on this commercial and another and what’s good and/or bad.
Hmm … Happy Saturday. I’m on a computer.

Six More Weeks of Surprise and Delight

02.02.2010 Marketing

That rat Phil saw his shadow this morning. So it goes.
Groundhog Day’s one of those funny traditions here in the states. Is it a holiday? Ain’t it a holiday?
Call it whatever you like … I call it ammunition.

I originally designed this a few years back as a maintenance piece for one of my favorite clients [...]

Another Snow Day for Science

01.08.2010 Curiosity

Yesterday, the boy and I dug deep into the world of science with help from a bunch of experiment videos from PBS.
Today, the mad scientist continued to advance his field with ‘will it sink or float, daddy?’
Next stop, Stockholm.

Simmons: Children, White Lies, and Cotton Candy

12.12.2009 Meatloaf

I took my 4-year-old daughter to the Clippers-Magic game Tuesday. Every Clips game turns her off on the NBA just a little bit more. After all, dead crowds and sloppy basketball isn’t exactly a hook. She spends most of her time rooting for the cotton candy guy to walk by, asking if various players have [...]

Funnery: Wordle

12.04.2009 Nerdery

Take a quick Friday break and paste some text or, better yet, a URL for your (or any) website into Wordle.
It produces a kinda-sorta-word-cloud that’s full of bright colors and stuff. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
Here’s one I did for The Daily Blur.
What does yours [...]

Silliness: A Muppet Rhapsody

11.25.2009

Yeah, but it’s a very-well done silly.
You have to be serious about silly to get silly just right.
I have a well-documented love of all things muppet.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
