You can’t script this shit
or can you… i would love to know if this is pure unadulterated fan-art or if it’s got something to do with the reported USD$200 million marketing budget of what was a predictable rip-off of pocahontas, even if it was set in space (which automatically makes it awesome)? Any thoughts?

05.11.2009 by Zoltan Silence…
I’ve been awfully silent of late, apologies.
But it has been for good reason. I quit my job at R/GA to pursue an idea I have for a webapp. Its called mooooodle and is going to radically change the way creative people present and sell ideas. And if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you’re in the creative industries yourself, so please go and register for the beta after the jump.
Unfortunately I was immediately offered a freelance opportunity too good to refuse, so have not had a second to scratch myself over the last few months. Not for mooooodle, nor for this blog. But that’s all going to change next week once this freelance gig is over…

Cassette Boy brings some much needed clarity to Britain’s political landscape. Amen. -
04.08.2009 by Zoltan Yours truly joins the “sinister cabal” at blogcritics.org
I never actually thought of myself as a ‘writer’ – although I have always enjoyed it since my convoluted dissertation at university titled ‘The Narrative Nexus: Photography, Time and Identiy’.
Well anyway, I guess that all changed today when I was accepted as one of the “sinister cabal” of 2,500 writers on blogcritics.org. Head on over there to check it out. There’s lots of interesting stuff, and very little about the advertising microcosm although I hope to change that very soon!
My first article is going up today, so stay tuned…

BabelWithMe is freakin’ amazing, and although its not a fish that lives in your ear, would make Douglas Adams himself proud!
“Communicate with anyone, anywhere in up to 45 languages. BabelWith.me is a simple, free group chat that automatically translates your conversation as you type.”
Welcome to the future!

17.07.2009 by Zoltan Future Routers
Future Routers is a great little colab design project between Goldsmiths and Talk Talk (appalling customer service, even if they have interesting corporate comms projects) that re-imagines the humble broadband router into something nicer/smarter – essentially designed around people rather than technology.
My favourite is the snappily titled ‘Energy Saver’ above, which has 4 hooks for house keys. When the last person to leave home takes their keys, it switches itself off. Presumably it switches on again when the keys are deposited back, but it doesn’t actually state that anywhere :(

29.06.2009 by Zoltan BillieTweets
I promised myself I wouldn’t do a MJ tribute post, but Billie Tweets is just too good…
Its definitely the coolest use of twitter I’ve seen in ages – basically a mashup of we feel fine’s keyword search and twitter’s real-time-y-ness with a good dose of MJ-rhythm for good measure – in short, Billie Tweets searches Twitter and then pushes the resulting tweets out word-by -word to the beat of Billie Jean.
Very very very good and brought to us by the talented kids over at 9astronauts
I wonder how long they were sitting on this idea before poor MJ (R.I.P.) kicked the bucket and they thought fuck it its now or never! Like the truth about MJ and those kids, I guess we’ll just never know…

29.06.2009 by Zoltan 100 fans on facebook!
I have a favour to ask everyone – please go to facebook and become a fan of boredomisyourfault so i can land-grab the username. I have 78 at the moment but facebook’s terms state that you need a minimum of 100 fans to get the facebook.com/username URL.
C’mon, it won’t take a sec…

There’s no shortage of Twitter-bashing going on at the moment. One of my personal favourites is this insight from Modern Toss

11.05.2009 by Zoltan Best time to email
“The best time to send out an email campaign is between 2-3pm PST on Wednesday. People are most likely to open your mail mid-week, while at work, on a full stomach.”
Has anyone else found the same thing to be true? And if so, surely there is a little widget somewhere that would allow you to cue up emails based on territory to spam out at this most auspicious time? Anyone know what it is?

11.05.2009 by Zoltan Back on the horse (well, hopefully)
Its been a very hectic 3 months since I started my new digs at R/GA. It almost feels like I’ve not actually seen anything amazing – but of course that’s not true. I’ve just not had half-a-second to actually digest/process anything other than the project I’ve been working on. But more on that when it launches later this year… Anyway I’m just glad to be back on the bloghorse :)

02.03.2009 by Zoltan You Should’ve Seen This
This has to be one of those “I can’t believe no-one thought of this before” ideas – just a simple one-page site, lacking any pretence of graphic design, outlining the top viral phenomena since the birth of our beloved interweb. Check it out You Should Have Seen This.
I will always have a soft-spot for #68 “Aussie Party” :)

15.01.2009 by Zoltan Back for 2009
The ever insightful Ian Stevenson gives us this beautiful start to the new year. It may not be good advice for all the struggling retailers out there but it made me smile. And if you’re not scared of losing customers to Aldi, you could do worse than to follow it as a differentiating strategy…
