Top 5 Firefox add-ons Review from Download.com

Okay, I agree with all but the number one pick. Maybe it was just my computer, but All-in-One Sidebar constantly went crazy on me. The rest are pretty cool.

Global Inflation from World Politics Review

Yes. (Albeit a little creepy...)

Nostalgia: Europe 2004

This was the very first iMovie I ever created. When we first got back from the trip and I sat down to review the media, I heard each of these songs playing in my head. Not much has changed for my method of chosing what song to use, but now I generally only use one song per video. My style tendencies have changed as well.

The New Starbucks Ads

Have you seen the new Starbucks 30-second spots? There are three of them by agency Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Oregon. They received rave reviews by AdAge's Garfield and I must say I am inclined to agree. (http://adage.com/garfield/post?article_id=122340) We just completed our final proposals for my Advertising Competition class and I can only hope that our suggestions would render something similar. Two thumbs up for an advertising-free company who managed to extend the feel of their brand rather successfully into a new media (for them) marketing campaign!

I also thought those of you who frequent the Hill might get a kick out of the content of this particular ad... ;-) But seriously, it's very well done. Way to show the product benefit guys!

Take Flight 2

I tried to embed this video I uploaded to YouTube in my website and it hasn't worked yet. So, the video is here instead. I'm currently using Nvu (open source software for mac's) to create my website and it doesn't like the code.

This video is the second of the "Take Flight!" series and my favorite of all the videos I've created so far. It is, however, a little old and I can see several things I have since improved on (as far as editing and shooting go). I have also upgraded to a new camera. Still... Just something about this one makes me like it. It also happens to be one of the smallest videos in terms of size, so it lent itself well to being the first to get uploaded.




Success!
