Selfishness
Selfishness
Ayn Rand once said: “Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.” The interesting question to me is this: […]

Christmas ads
Christmas ads
Christmas is filled with cliché’s, specially Christmas cards, as well as most Christmas ads. Still, the following prints use some of those cliché’s (Christmas tree’s, snowflakes, etc), but they do stand out. Hellmann’s mayonnaise CreAds (advertising agency from Singapore) Volkswagen postcard TGH (Russian tv channel) Smart Nespresso Heineken nutcracker Sooruz (skatewear) Pepsi (new logo) AB-Inbev […]

Merry capitalismas
So I red this article about a Christmas tree, costing 11 million dollar, being unveiled in a hotel in Abu Dhabi. If you didn’t know yet, Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates, isn’t concidered a Christian country. 74% of it’s population is muslim. In fact, Abu Dhabi even banned Blackberry phones for “potentially […]

On random
On random
I don’t think random exists. Everything happens for a reason. Even the position of where a raindrop lands is explainable. When you trow the dice, it’s possible to explain why it stopped at 3. The notion of randomness violates the scientific method, and in reality, it does not occur anywhere in the known universe. Think […]

But what I mean with improper use of language is making at the moment you start stringing words together to make meaning that doesn’t make sense. Let me start of, right away with a common […]

A brief copywriting lesson

Science and the truth
Science and the truth
In addition to ‘Stats and the truth‘… I had a great teacher for physics at my secondary school. Apart from the fact he was a total nutjob, he had some great thoughts about different subjects, ranging from religions to camera tripods. Some where just disposable but some where very interesting. Such as his thoughts about […]

The kingdom inside my head
The kingdom inside my head
Once upon a time Once upon a time, there was a kingdom inside my mind; full of castles, taverns and farms – mills, blacksmiths, stables and shops. There where forest filled with trees, fields of grass and gardens filled with flowers – all separated by twisty footpaths, and swift streams. The land was populated by ladies, squires, knights, and what […]

All money is power
All money is power
Money is power, a lot of people realise that. But they don’t apply that knowledge while spending their money. It’s not like, when you have heaps of money, you suddenly got power. It goes gradually. Small amounts of money hold power as well. See your money as a vote. Elections are constantly ongoing and never […]
