The Ephemerist

Over at The Hotel Fred, Roger Langridge posted this image of Doctor Who avoiding having to battle a Transformer, only to notify the reader that he (that is, Langridge) has an interview posted somewhere else. I’m sure there’s a train of thought there, but it’s a quite good drawing anyway.

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of Kool Kiwi’s (I’m sure all New Zealanders will forgive me this blatantly racist denominator), today is Francis‘ last day at Cloud 9. He’ll be leaving for London soon to do his css magic there. We will miss him, and wish him all the best.

This is what my colleagues do when work is slow… I wonder what sound it makes when it gets thrown in the fryer.

A week ago, we paid our farewell to i-merge. We’re boondoggling on…

It happened. i-merge transmogrified into Boondoggle.

So, grab a piece of history and claim one of our logo’s pixels, before they are gone forever…

i-merge, the advertising agency I work for, also has a Shanghai office. Our art director over there, Anne Ng, has created a very nice illustrated (and animated) story to explain our service model to prospective clients.

I particularly like the scribbly drawings, and the tiny animated touches she’s added to the art. To understand the story, I have to listen to the English version, but the Chinese one just sounds more authentic.

The story is also published as a tiny red book that you can order from i-merge China. Check the website for more details…

I work at an advertising agency. We are very creative, which means that we mess around a lot.

Case in point : we cherish the cow we got from one of our clients when we moved to our new digs. Even when we had to drag it all the way to the nineth floor. So we had the bosses do that :

Other case in point : a stupid weblog we created to showcase the level of English used at the office. You’ll need to know Dutch to understand this, I’m afraid…
