Barack Obama
Voici une photo de "l'inauguration" de Barak Obama du 20 janvier dernier, dans laquelle on peut distinguer nettement chaque personne dans la foule.
Utilisez la petite main pour agrandir la photo. Attendez quelques secondes et vous serez en focus.
Cette photo a été prise avec une caméra-robot de 1.474 mégapixels, soit avec 295 fois plus de puissance que les photos à 5 megapixels de nos caméras familiales.
Une seule photo et la possibilité de "ficher" un million de personnes !

Today's Front Page
An amazingly useful application that let's you visualize newspaper Front Page across the world. Just put your mouse on a city anywhere in the world and the newspaper headlines pop up.Double click and the page gets larger. mThen you can either read the pdf version or click through to the paper itself in the upper right corner. You can look at the European papers as well. The site changes everyday with the publication of new editions of the paper. Very Cool!

Do you think that newspaper will die one day? I personally don't think so, but I wouldn't invest a dim in this industry.

New adidas original website
After 4 months of strategy, design, programming and creativity we launched the new adidas originals website. I have to tell you that this was a hell of a project. Everyone including the client worked days and nights to create this baby. We are very proud of what we did. I hope you will as well.
Let's get this party started. ....

What is your feeling about this site?

The T-Mobile Dance :: Street Marketing
One of my friend sent me this video this morning. Great "street marketing" performance. Imagine how many people will share this video on the web. Because of that thousands will talk about T-Mobile. This is great advertising. We should see this more. I'm not surprise if they win big at Cannes this year with this idea.

Le top 3 des agences les plus créatives du monde selon Nicolas Bard
Mon associé JF Bouchard m'a fait parvenir ce lien d'un blogueur français. Nous l'aimons beaucoup celui-là! Je me demande pourquoi : )
Ce dernier nous fait une belle fleur en nous alignant aux cotés de Crispin et Droga5. Nous ne croyons pas appartenir à cette catégorie mais nous travaillons fort pour le devenir...un jour.
J'aime beaucoup l'exercice par contre et j'aimerais vous entendre là-dessus. Selon vous quel est le top 3 des agences les plus créatives au monde?

Have you ever listen to Fredo Viola?
Nvidia Speak Visual™ Show
In 2009 Nvidia will host The Speak Visual™ Show featuring the most innovative art from artist around the world, with massive projections on building across the globe that are broadcast online. This event will surely not be held in Montreal. Thanks to the city of Montreal. Sid Lee tried to organized projections on buildings often but have been blocked by the city every time. It's too bad that a city as creative as Montreal does not permit such creativity once in a while. I guess this will be possible in Quebec City since they permitted last year one of the best projection on building ever realized "Le moulin à image" from Robert Lepage. Note that my partner Philipe Meunier also took part of this amazing project.
Anyway, if you feel you have some creativity on your computer that deserve to be projected on buildings across the world, log-on to this site and upload your work now!

Cocktails de Noël SAQ
On m'entend souvent parler de l'importance de la distribution de contenu. Le contenu ne doit plus seulement reposer sur une adresse Internet. Il se doit d'être partagé sur plusieurs sites et sur plusieurs plateformes afin de maximiser les retours sur investissement et les retombés. Voici un excellent exemple de distribution pour le site espacecocktail.com de la SAQ. La distribution de contenu sur MSN n'est qu'un exemple pour ce site. Plusieurs plateformes suivront sous peu.

Launch of the new type of domain name “.TEL”
We wish to take a few moments to inform you, or remind you, that, starting December 3 at 15:00 GMT (10:00 EST), applications for the new type of domain name “.TEL” will start to be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
.TEL is a new type of domain name (similar to .COM and .CA for instance) with a very specific purpose. The Registry operator (www.telnic.org ) wants to position itself as "the first real-time global directory", both for businesses and individuals.
The .TEL domain name is created to allow Internet users to access various categories of contact information published by the domain name registrant (about itself, its departments, its locations, its subsidiaries, and/or its staff) without the need to visit a website; it also will allow them to keep contact information up-to-date as soon as modifications are published.
Until February 2, 2009, only owners and licensees of registered trade-marks are allowed to apply and register .TEL domain names that correspond to trade-marks in which they have rights.
Given that nobody can predict if .TEL domain names will have a significant importance in the manner in which businesses and individuals share contact information in the future, we believe that it would be prudent for your organization, as the owner of registered trade-marks, to determine the corresponding domain name(s) that it wishes to use for itself or to hold in order to prevent third parties from registering them when the next launch phases will start.
Please note that the dates below are the key dates in respect of the launch of .TEL:
From 2008-12-03 to 2009-02-02: SUNRISE (registrations are reserved for trademark owners; pre-orders are possible with accredited registrars)
From 2009-02-03 to 2009-03-23: LANDRUSH (registrations open to all at premium price)
Starting 2009-03-24: GENERAL AVAILABILITY (registration open to all)

Are you going to use this service? Please let me know what you think.

Sid Lee et la marque Montréal à Amsterdam
(Amsterdam) À un jet de pierre du musée et de la brasserie Heineken, au 70, Gerard Doustraat, une petite rue branchée d'Amsterdam, je suis tombée nez à nez avec un portrait du maire Jean Drapeau la semaine dernière. Le portrait était peint en noir sur une façade, tout en noir elle aussi, sur laquelle j'ai reconnu des dessins du Bonhomme Carnaval, de joueurs de hockey, d'une fleur de lys et quelques inscriptions comme «ostie de câlisse» ou «Made in Montreal».
