A site to make you smile - UNIQLO Parka Style 1000

This is probably my favourite UNIQLO campaign and site to date. As soon as you get to the site you are bombarded with happiness and positivity. Fun, happy, dancing people and all in the name of fashion. If I owned a clothes store or brand, this is exactly how I would want my products positioned.

Fantastic work!

Oh, and check out the site intro - that is a brilliant way to keep you occupied while the site loads.

Power to the Blogosphere!

The torrents of online chatter on Tuesday were huge. The Blogosphere rippled with the news that Facebook had changed to their Terms of Service.

Then yesterday in a complete aboutface, Facebook announced that it would return to the old Terms of Service!

The announcement on the Facebook homepage read:

“Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog."

I'm loving this so, so, so much. That is the power and potential of unrestricted speech. That's the power that people have to actually make a change when they care about something (or at least think they care about it).

Of course it does highlight the potential people have to create change if they just do something about how they feel.

Bill's 11 Rules

This is currently winging it's way around the net as an email forward. It'd have you believe that Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School and disclosed the following 11 things students need to realise about life. Unfortunately UrbanLegends have tagged it as a fake. Nonetheless I enjoyed it.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
