Bread bin

I Love TV Ads

I'm a big fan of TV adverts. Making TV ads requires a lotta creativity. They guys behind all those cool ads you see on TV, actually go through a lot to pick a tune to go along with the commercials. Like the Yeah Yeah Yeah's song in the Adidas advert or any of those cool tunes from the iPod commercials.
Well, here are a few CD's with music from your favourite TV ads.



I love TV ads - Various Artists



Off your box - Various



Commercial Breaks - Various


Actually, theres this new CD by Sony Music if I'm not wrong. Just saw the Ad on TV but Im not able to find it online. Drop us a line if you do.

iPodSubwayMaps and the Mus computer mouse

Parker from CoolHunting found this site called iPodSubwayMaps which I think is a great idea. You just download the map of the subway or MRT as in Singapore and put it on your iPod photo. And then, finding your way is just a few scrolls away.




The Mus computer mouse from Russia's Art. Lebedev.

Tiger Toys' i-Dog and the Push pin lamp

Every once in a while we have something for dog lovers like those cool Fido Bags. Well, here's another one. The i-Dog. Here's what it does - it puts on a light show, makes limited head movements, plays back and responds to audio connected through its body, plays back a limited variety of songs stored in its own memory, and responds to input from a built-in microphone.






Just remember, you need to feed it with music five minutes every hour and over time, this will give i-Dog a “personality” of “rock/punk” (red outer ring of lights), “dance/techno” (green), or “hip hop/rap” (yellow). Read more.





The Push Pin Lamp. The light bulb fits right into the push pin head, and to make this sucker light up you just press down on the top of the push pin. The lamp has a cork bottom that is great for sticking notes and reminders, too. Perfect for your workplace. Get it here.

Bus wraps

Bus wraps are cool. Everytime I see a good one here in Singapore I try to get a good shot of it on my cam. Below is HBO's Six Feet Under bus wrap as a part of the ad promotion campaign for their season one DVD. The ad was accepted in New York and Chicago but authorities rejected the ad in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
If you see them on any buses here, quick, grab your cam, click and send it to us. It looks cool, dosen't it?
