Hey, everybody. You’ve missed these posts. I know you have. You won’t admit it, but your inability to articulate your feelings doesn’t diminish the emotion at all. You’re working on it with your therapist, right? Well, okay then, that’s good enough for me.

. To people he doesn’t know. He just puts it in a box or an envelope and sends it off. He also has the best-groomed beard in Portland—which, given all the scraggly, unkempt half-beards up here, isn’t really that tough. But still, his beard is fantastic.

Bobbie DaLuz. Account Services. SLC.
Bobbie didn’t want to tell us anything about herself. She only wanted to talk about other people. She’s the one who told us that Peder farts on airplanes, that Phil wears a beanie to tame his spiky hair, that Kyle hates dogs and that Susan’s nickname is “Mama Kat.” All of this talking, I suppose, also tells us a lot about Bobbie.

Spencer Taggart. Business. SLC.
From 9am to 6pm, Spencer is all business—lunch meetings, golf, hanging his MBA diploma in prominent places, monitoring the stock exchange, taking phone calls on his bluetooth headset, looking at spreadsheets. But when dude leaves the office, it’s all rock all the time. When you see him cranking the Bon Jovi or dropping a karaoke hammer on “More Than Words,” just know that he’ll respond to any of the following monikers: Dudacious, Bro, Curly Sue, Fro, Spence-a-mania, Magnum, Hot Tamale, Mr. America, Studly, Superdude, Tagman, Spence Dogg, Megatron, Sputnik, Froth, Manimal and Boomer.

Matt Manes. Design. SLC.
Matt is a Taurus. He loves tomatoes and black-capped chickadees. And they love him back. Really, they do. We all do.

. SLC.
As the master of finances, Tami is a mathematical genius. For example, she (now) knows that one (1) boy bunny + one (1) not-boy bunny = 72 baby bunnies. Other things you need to know about Tami: She listens to Christmas music in July. She’s addicted to Mtn. Dew. She forces her husband and three sons to watch beauty pageants but never realizes that they’re asleep during the costumes, talents and evening gowns but WIDE awake for the swimsuits.

Located within the historic Presidio district of San Francisco, The Walt Disney Family Museum takes an intimate look at the man’s roots and the studio’s role in modern animation. Obviously, we jumped when they engaged us to create an immersive brand experience for the museum’s retail store.

Our goal: Create a fundamental and nostalgic look at the iconic Disney style and brand. In our exploration of the Disney origins, we worked closely with the Mary Blair estate. Blair, one of The Walt Disney Company’s most memorable artists, produced striking

for such films as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan The Big Picture rip and Cinderella.

By deconstructing traditional Disney art as well as Blair’s work, we honed in on pieces of iconic imagery on which we could hinge an immersive experience. The result is a mixture of patterns, prints and characters that explore the essence of Disney. If you’re passing through the Bay Area and love Disney, design and/or creativity in general (and, really, who doesn’t love all three?), plan a stop at the Presidio. See you real soon…

It’s no secret here in the Broadway office that Matt Austin and I have been working around the clock to nail some pretty tight deadlines…

What struxiomers didn’t know is that, much like grief, some projects bring about 7 emotional stages to work through. Over the last 7 days, as I’ve been here around the clock, these stages have manifest themselves at my desk… perhaps you’ve noticed them…

::1 Shock / Disbelief…. (Mon. night / Tues. morning)

::2 Denial…. (Tues. night / Wed. morning)

::3 Bargaining…. (Wed. night / Thurs. morning)

::4 Guilt…. (Thurs. night/ Fri. morning)

::5 Anger…. (Fri. night - Sun. morning)

::6 Depression…. (Sun. night / Mon. morning)

::7 Acceptance / Hope…. (Mon. night /  Tues. morning)

So, as the final few renders are chugging away, I thought I’d take the time to document the progression of my insanity. Clearly, I’ve accepted it.The Unbearable Lightness of Being movie download

Adobe MAX offers a multitude of opportunities to learn about the latest Adobe technology offerings and the software development behind tools that are still a central part of the creative ecosystem. This annual event brings with it a great series of classes and lectures, and equally important, brings together creative agencies from around the world to share ideas and discuss common challenges in the SoDA Father’s Lion video Sweet Home Alabama release unConference area.

The biggest announcements this year centered around Flash on mobile devices. One by one, smart phones by Nokia, HTC, Toshiba and Palm were brought out by CTO Kevin Lynch to demo the Flash experience on each device. Despite poor internet connectivity that made for some awkward pauses, it was clear that Flash is going to be a viable mobile technology (especially since it will no longer have to carry around the “Lite” baggage). Hardware support for harnessing GPU processing power, and lower RAM footprint, look to improve the Flash platform in every way.

Also notable, however, was the absence of the iPhone. This absence became even more pronounced when problems, such as the Toshiba’s unresponsive virtual keyboard, occurred. (Whether this was related to the Flash Player or not was unclear—the Palm Pre didn’t have any issues—and, by the way, looks like a great phone.)

Then came the Mythhackers video, a parody of Mythbusters, wherein the intrepid folks at Adobe struggle to get Flash on the iPhone, ultimately to learn that it is now indeed possible, or will be when the next Flash authoring tool becomes available. It will be interesting to see whether the Flex SDK will have the capability to export to the iPhone’s ARM architecture before the next Flash IDE comes out (I still have a hard time with the new Flash nomenclature). However, in many ways, this seems to address a problem no one has complained about, except maybe Flash developers who want to build iPhone applications in ActionScript. Yes, we will be able to run standalone Flash applications on the iPhone, albeit at a significant disadvantage when compared to Objective-C applications. However, the problem of not being able to view Flash Player content on the web is still very much with us, and that is a much bigger issue for Adobe and those of us deploying Flash to an ever-growing iPhone customer base.

Adobe seems to be embracing the capabilities of the new HTML5 standard, and demoed some interesting Dreamweaver/Flash capabilities for publishing to the HTML5 canvas tag (a potential competitor for Flash). It will be interesting to see how the HTML5 video tag will challenge Flash’s ubiquity in the web video space, and whether this changes the discussion around what it means to have Flash on the iPhone.

Prior to becoming our Struck/Axiom blood-brothers, our comrades from around the block Kush

completed the brand standards for Sony Pictures’ latest animated feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (currently a saucy 85% on the Tomatometer). The style guide for the film took shape as a classic Betty Crocker-style cookbook with titles like A Guide to Nutritious Colors, Spicy Promos and Pre-Cooked Patterns. Trust us, never before have we been this hungry while contemplating typography choices. Check out some photos of the project… and take your crew to see the flick this weekend!

During today’s Twitter outage, something completely obvious hit me upside the head: Twitter is legit. Given the TIME magazine cover story and the Ashton vs. CNN showdown to 1 million (not to mention Kyality’s recent jump

Weekend at Bernie’s II movies

onto the USS Tweetie), I should’ve seen this coming a long time ago. So why did it take a 2-hour outage to spark the lightbulb over my head? Because I finally realized that everyone freaking out about the failure is actually a good thing for Twitter.

You see, the outage was a sign that we’ve crossed over from “What’s Twitter?” to “HOLY CRAP, TWITTER IS DOWN! HOW WILL I EVER GET THROUGH THE DAY?!!” It’s a step that shouldn’t be overlooked. People freak out when Google goes down, when the cable TV goes out during Gossip Girl and when the wireless router forces us to get up off the couch and restart it. We don’t freak out when MySpace goes dark for an hour or two. We don’t freak out when Rhapsody is out for a half a day. We don’t even freak out when the mailman doesn’t show up for a day or two.

The bottom line is this: Outages and crashes show us what people value. If people freak out when something you’ve built goes down for a couple hours… then you’re probably doing something right. (But you’d also better fix the problem. Right. Now.)
