- @BillSKenney I know, right? You'd think it would get old, but that marquee has such a timeless feel.

- @irleslie in the balcony for the show. Looking to grab drinks & dinner after.
- @VisitSavannah Got any recommendations for late night (after 10) eats?
- @davidburn have an awesome weekend.
- @davidburn We use the tech when we can't have the face time, but it's really about tequila & tacos & good conversations in Boston. :)
- @davidburn …& if you really value relationships then you know that face-to-face is best. The tech is, as you put it, just a mistress.
- @davidburn you just can't lose sight of the fact that "social" is inherently about relationships, not technology or channels…
- @davidburn I like to think that despite the fact that social media & I are really, really good friends, I'm not seduced by it.
- @amy_brock Now if only we could clarify for motorists whether or not the bike lane becomes a turn lane at intersections. cc @SavBikeCampaign

Pub : Flying Horse - Chat + Tartine Beurrée by Spi0nIt's Friday and I needed a good laugh. This spot for Brazilian energy drink Flying Horse did the trick. (And yes, being forced to watch an ad before we watch an ad is ridiculous.)
Hat tip to my homies at Adverve.

Maybe the most inspiring thing to me is people who have a passion for something. They have such a deep love and appreciation for something that their enthusiasm is infectious (even if you're not into the thing that they are into) and it makes you want to go out and make/do/create/collect something of your own.
That's the kind love that Aaron Draplin brings to the Field Notes Memo Archive. If you're not familiar with Draplin or Field Notes, you should take a minute to check them out. What's the worse that could happen—that you might actually be inspired?

Coca-Cola recently unveiled Content 2020, their plan for "how the Coca-Cola Company will evolve its approach to the creative agenda on its key brands." There's a lot to digest in these two videos, but they're certain to make you think. Plus, the live sketch presentation approach is both well done and fun to watch.
[Disclosure: The Coca-Cola Company is a BFG client.]

Watch Off Book: The Art of Film and TV Title Design on PBS. See more from Off Book.
I love windows into the magical world that is a creative person's mind. That's why this piece on the creators of some of the most memorable title sequences from TV and film in recent years had me mesemerized. Take a few minutes to be inspired.

Here's a fun concept from the Mexico-based Internet provider, Terra. The goal of the project is to encourage dog owners to do their civic duty (get it, duty?) by picking up after their dogs, thereby making the park a better place for everyone. To facillitate this, every time someone places a bag of dog poo into a specially marked container several free minutes of public wifi are added to a queue based on the weight of the poo.
As a result, the park is cleaner and people are free to go back to basking in the glow of their tiny handheld screens as they zombie-walk poo-free through the great outdoors. I just love a happy ending.

Though this applies to all of us, it rings especially true for those who find themselves in positions of leadership.
Your responsibility at work is to help people achieve more than they know they are capable of.
- Simon Sinek
Notice there's no mention of the importance of delegation and accountability. It's not that those things are without value, it's just they aren't the point. The point is always to do everything in your power to help the people who below, above, and beside you become the very best that they can be.
That's the kind of person I aim to be and that's are the kind of person I want to work for and with.

In a post apocalyptic zombie infested world, you’ll need to make preparations, big and small, to ensure you have the best chance of survival. That’s why we’re fans of this DIY pill bottle survival kit. Keep one in your pocket, at your campsite, or even the glove box of you 4x4. (You do have a 4x4, don’t you? C’mon man, this is the apocalypse! Get with the program!)
Goodbye Cosmo; hello Modern Zombie. Maybe the publishing industry will experience a Renaissance post zombie apocalypse.
LivingSocial UK has created the #ZombieRiots, an intense experience that puts you right into the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It’s the perfect chance to test whether you’d keep your head on swivel or simply soil your knickers.
Thanks, Erik!
I will be making one of these just in case of possible zombie Apocalypse.
Good stuff. Taking notes.
If you don’t get why this is perfect in a post zombie apocalypse world, then consider yourself immediately demoted to the rank of Countermeasures.
Thanks, Erik!
A perfect opportunity for zombie apocalypse survivalist in the Dirty South to put their skills to the test!
Thanks, Steph!
LEEGGGSSSSS ! Nom Nom Nom…
