Conversation
Burn those stock photos.
"Stock photos or generic people shots are intentionally disregarded online." Time to invest in some original product and people photography. (Here's a rundown of the research, over at NYtimes.)
Great ammo for Art Directors to have in their next meeting.
Sears Zombification
Zombies have taken over Sears.com (notice the brain in the refrigerator) Love this simple execution with such attention to detail. You can google translate the page from English to "Zombie" and look through zombie video, photos, and product shots smeared with blood. Sears would be the last one I'd expect this from. Great stuff.
Gettin on that mixtape grind.
Hi all, so I was asked to start a mixtape series here on the brandcentered channel. While most of my music ranting has been confined to maxhendren.posterous.com, aka checkoutmyjams, my music blog, I will put up the occasional mix here so people not in the know can be less out of the know. So without futher ado, here is the first mix.

Track listing:
1. Bassnectar - Boombox
2. DJ Fresh - Gold Dust (Flux Pavilion rmx)
3. 2 Door Cinema Club - What You Know (DYB Dubstep rmx)
Quick Tutorial: VIDEOS
Have you ever found yourself videotaping a mime with tourette syndrome? Obviously, the first thing you think is—"how do I upload this to Brandcentered.com?"

1. Upload/Find the video on Youtube, click the "<embed>" button that sits just under your video.
3. A block of code will appear. It's already selected for you. Copy it.
4. On Brandcentered, start a new post, click the "Source" button.
What Did I Get Myself Into
It's my anniversary. Last year, this was the week my group presented Altoids and I got hit by the Mac truck.
I remember the first day of orientation at the Brandcenter, I was late. It was a horrible way to start the year and only went downhill from there. I was a stranger to a new town whose history haunted my dreams.
