bravia paintbombs After the jumping balls in San Francisco it's now exploding paint bombs in Glasgow.

For the filming they needed 10 days and 250 people.

The cleaning took 5 days and 60 people. ;-)

Looking for a hard drive for my Macbook I came across this very entertaining flash-animation where the technology of perpendicular storage is explained.

Browsing the web you see the most strange advertisements. Today I came across "Frozen Pets Make Cool Vacations". Don't just leave your pet - freeze your pet!
It's an advertisement for the Cryo Kennel. Made in Eureka. Jump to the site to see more strange new inventions.

Well actually it's an advertisement for the new SciFi channel tv-serie Eureka. And a very good one too, meaning - a very good commercial. The first episode of the serie has not even been aired yet. Great marketing guys!

The serie is about a seemingly ordinary town Eureka. A community of scientific geniusses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research.

It sounds like a serie with a lot of geek-potential. I can't wait to see the first episode ;-)

Update: After seeing the pilot episode I'm not sure how this serie is going to evolve. A lot of geeky stuff but the big twist at the end was a bit over the top and not promising for a very good storyline.

Unlike the famous colored balls commercial but still very funny. A couple of commercials from a famous German car company.

The motto is "Un-pimp your ride" my favorite is number two.

Most of the time the commercials on TV are a reason to grab you remote and zap to another channel. But when this commercial comes by just turn up the volume and enjoy.

Yesterday I read an article about the commercial and today I showed it at work and ended up in a discussion about how they made it.
