GlobalWorks addendum

mel — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 22:13:48 +0000

I received a newsletter from Globalworks (see my previous post) announcing that they had won three more awards for their beach ads. Just thought I’d quote from the newsletter about who created the ad:

A multicultural creative team at GlobalWorks created the spots. The creative director was born in England; the art director is from Venezuela; the producer is from Puerto Rico; and the copywriter is from the Dominican Republic. The directors of the spots hail from Puerto Rico and Argentina, respectively.

Here it is. This one is longer than the others… almost six minutes. It also introduces a new character. So, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Today I am…

mel — Thu, 08 May 2008 08:00:21 +0000

Today is my birthday. Today I am (place your favorite decade marker here). Yes, it has been a wonderful 39 years, now that I’m 40. HAH!!! If only. I passed 40 a while ago. Why are people so reticent about telling their age? I used to think it was only vanity, but now I’m convinced it has more to do with how people will view/treat us. Just as I assume a 20 something is inexperienced/shallow, so a 20 something probably sees me as old and doddering. I’ll give them the old, but not the doddering.

God knows I’ve been through alot this past couple of years medically, but I made it through. And I probably would not have been able to do that, if I hadn’t been clean and dry for 29 years. There’s a great deal to be said for making decisions with a sober mind.

So, I’m posting this at the time and on the day of my birth. Happy birthday. And to you too, if it’s your birthday.

1Password

There is one piece of software, that I have found to be invaluable since I started using it last fall. It’s call 1Password.

It seems simple enough. What it does is keep track of all your logins names and passwords and fill in the appropriate text boxes with one or two keystrokes. But that’s not all it does. It can keep track of various identities you use to join up with various forums or shopping sites and with one click fill in all the data for you. Not only that, it can keep track of “wallet” items like credit cards or secure notes like serial numbers on purchased software. All of this is kept on a secure separate keychain.

So if you use a Mac, check out 1Password.

Louise Logs

An artist friend of mine is creating a series of videos entitled, the Louise Logs. I think they are brilliant, and given the nature of the dialog, I think they fit perfectly with the title and intents of this blog. The plan I have come up with, is to post one here each week (at this point in time, there are five of them).

Of course, you can always see them all at once if you like. Here, then, is the first one:

Remember to turn your sound on. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

WordPress 2.5 upgrade

mel — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:01:11 +0000

I downloaded and installed WordPress 2.5 last night. Nothing the reader sees should change until I learn more about the new version, which is a complete overhaul. That means there are new features that will become evident once I learn how to implement them. An example of something that interest me is a feature called galleries.
