- Virb is the New Virb July 29, 2010In the Mesozoic era of social networking — that distant year of 2007 — a new community was poised to take over the web, replacing the aging and visually painful MySpace species. Virb allowed users, who joined by invitation only, to craft and customize extremely elegant and sophisticated personal profiles with all the accoutrements of online social behavior. […]Armin
- More Tickets Available for Brand New Conference July 28, 2010Thanks to the positive response we received earlier this week and plenty of sad-faced emoticons in Twitter and our inbox of people who missed out on registration, we are definitely upgrading the capacity of the conference. The switch to the bigger auditorium means that an additional 25 student tickets and 210 regular tickets are now available for purchase. I […]Armin
- Pac-10 does The Wave (and The Mountain) July 28, 2010I have always been amazed at both the freakish passion with which Americans love their college sports and the economical, social and logistical complexity of its athletic governing body, the NCAA. Every layer of the operation matters. Which is why something as natural as a redesign can be turned into a big media crusade when one of the more than thirty confe […]Armin

Social media is not rocket science

Where the Wild Things are!
“There’s one in all of us.” Directed by Spike Jones. An adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world–a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.
Entertaining and inspiring.
An amazing animated short. Enjoy.
