Looks like we made the top three of the Gutenberg award for the Bacchus Capital Fund Investor folder.
Our Printer in Montreal informed us this morning. If we strike the gold we will be on the short list for the international award. finger crossed.

Branding hangover

After unleashing the ” monster” over the week, we are entering that weird state of post launch hangover, where for weeks we have been intensely and insainly working about 22 hours a day, if not around the clock, all offices combined, and now we are looking for some post traumatic relief (so are friends, girlfriends, husbands, spouses and kids)
Some are already jetting off to tropical islands, enjoying European spas, while others are staring at the ceiling or doing their nails thinking, “what are we doing next?”; Yes it what that exhilarating working as a team creating this amazing thing and actually thinking for a minute that this was just pure insanity or it was going to implode anytime soon.
oF course there was a few fights, a few twisted ankles, a few throw ups and too much sugar consumptions but that was just for a minute, in all our craziness and legendary – that’s just crazy but it will get done – mentality, we made it happen again, now we just need to move on to actually implement the whole thing and make sure the soufflé doesn’t come down flat. Seeing all these articles from magazines and newspapers pinned on the wall from all over the world make you feel good though. I am already bored, when is the next one?

history lesson

Neatorama has a pretty cool overview of “tech” companies logos and how they’ve evolved over the years.

I was most surprised at just how faithful the Canon logo has stayed over the years (well with the exception of the first one).

and in case you’re not interested in logos, here’s a picture of a monkey with a Glock.

Phone Smart

Hi!! I am a newbie to blogging! (Cheers/Applause) thank you – thank you…

Here is a smart trick that your mobile phone can do – (thanks to GOOGLE) – provide an address, directions or number for a restaurant you’ve been meaning to try..

Simply text the restaurant name and the city it is in, example Blue Smoke, NY to Google
at 466-453 – in about a minute you will get the address and phone number..(for free!)

Or you call Dial Directions at 347-328-4667 (call is free) and say the restaurants address when prompted and a text with directions from your home to the restaurant from door arrives before you even hang up.

Wait there is more — you can translate words “text translate english to french”.
You can ask for movies and forecast (even internationally)..

Dial a Direction can also tell you what “type” of restuarant you are looking for…
Say you want Thai simply ask! They will give you a list of local restaurants…

There is still a few wrinkles but all in all it is pretty snazzy –
So try it out…
