Mac vs Windows advert competition

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I was surfing the net the other day and found this on another blogsite. The challenge was to change an existing advert for windows or mac to promote the opposition…. advertisers and marketeers had a great time. This was one of their submissions!

The problem with nights

Monday, May 1st, 2006

It’s disturbing what happens to the mind after a string of 13 hour night-shifts. The biggest problem facing me and my workmates at breakfast/dinner (whatever we eat at 7:30 am) is how to say “goodnight”. After all, it isn’t the night, nor will it be until it is time to go back to work again. Equally “see you tomorrow” doesn’t work, and “see you today” sounds rather wierd and doesn’t exactly conjour up visions of a nice long sleep.

We’ve toyed with various combinations - todayrrow, good-sol, …but we’re distinctly lacking in ideas when it gets to this point in the night/morning/day. Suggestions on a postcard will take 3 weeks to arrive, by which point we probably will have forgotten what we were talking about.

I’m off to have a meal. Good-day.
