new nike commercial.

Nike football

Nike put together a nice little ad thanks to the help of Guy Ritchie. The commercial was done by 72 and Sunny out of Amsterdam, was directed by Guy Ritchie and stars a few of the sports best athletes.

the hoxton: urban lodge.

If I ever make it over to London, I think I'll spend a night or two in The Hoxton Urban Lodge. Since opening in September 2006 The Hoxton boasts that it is a place where "urban living meets country lodge lounging". The hotel also seems to be somewhat budget friendly. The earlier you book your room, the cheaper it will be. The art and decor looks pretty cool too.

who do online shoppers trust?

I found this post on thetrendwatch and thought it was interesting. I am not surprised to see that consumers are trusting their peers more than advertising, but it is interesting to think that these peers might be complete strangers that have merely posted a review about a product or service online. Hopefully these online peers will remain trustworthy. It will be interesting to see how advertisers continue to find news ways to reach consumers through digital media.

nice shots.

Dear God.

The founder of thecoolhunter.net has recently created a new site, dear-god.net. The site was designed by Something Somewhere and is a forum for people to post questions, comments, hopes, fears, or dreams about God. The site is non-denominational and uses the word "god" in a very broad sense. The Cool Hunter states, "In its first week, the site has sparked an organic revolution, with people all over the world embracing the opportunity to unburden themselves, to share their hopes and fears with others in an effort create hope, healing, inner peace and clarity." I like this idea. The site looks good and many of the posts are pretty thought provoking.

that was good.

You know when you go on an amazing trip and when you get back it kind of feels like the whole trip might have been a dream? Well, that is how I'm feeling right now about my trip to southern Africa. I spent two weeks camping on top of a Land Rover and touring through South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Namibia and saw some of the most beautiful places on earth. Thanks to my brother and sister-n-law, I had a trip that will probably never be topped in my lifetime. One thing I took away from this trip is that there is no substitute for traveling and seeing how other cultures live and view the world. The internet and television can only give you so much information about what the rest of the world has to offer. Somethings just need to be experienced first hand. I could go on about all our adventures, but I won't. I took about 1,200 photos during our travels, and I put my favorites up here if you want to check them out. Thanks Brandon and Rachel for such an incredible trip!
