Is it an iPad killer? Not quite, nor does it aim to be. Positioned as a digital textbook, the Kno (with the support of numerous textbook publishers) aims to entirely replace the sordid world of textbook buying, carrying, and buying back. Packed with productivity apps, the Kno allows for the dragging of images and text from digital textbooks to be saved into notes. These notes can be synced to a server for access even if the Kno isn’t available.
I’d bludgeon a freshman with a backpack full of science textbooks to get one of these. And I’m not even a student anymore.
A true man of the world travels by land, sea, and air in this wonderful extended spot by Wieden + Kennedy. The spot is meant to showcase the future of the Honda brand without forgetting its storied past.
It’s official. Let it be known. I’m talking to you, “woman who pays with a check at the grocery store”. And you too, “man who will only drive a mid- to late-model Buick, Oldsmobile, or Crown Victoria”. And don’t think I forgot you either, “man who owns the entire run of Perry Mason on VHS”.
Of course if you’re actually on IE6, you probably can’t read this.
This has nothing to do with advertising or design, but everything to do with awesome. Click to zoom in.

World Press Photo announced the winners of their 53rd annual World Press Photo Contest. Some of the photos are inspiring, some are disturbing. All of them are amazing.
Take a look at the Winner’s Gallery. Scooped from Creative Review.
If you enjoy the work of Kevin Cyr (featured on this blog earlier), then you probably love vans. Well, there’s another man out there (in what appears to be a very limited club) also attempting to preserve their stoic, boxy, multiple passenger beauty. See more of Joe Stevens work at his website.
If you’ve noticed the blog appearing a bit dead lately, it’s because we’re currently in maintenance mode to clear up some virus issues. As a result of those issues, Firefox currently blocks the blog on normal security settings, and Google does not index us.
The virus basically infected our index.html files on our network, but on the bright side the virus can’t be spread by visiting the infected sites. So no worries there.
We’ve removed the virus as far as we can tell and have applied for reinstatement from Google. Once that happens and we get the “all clear” from our IT guy, we’ll reboot the blog and essentially relaunch. Those of you on the Creative Brief Newsletter will be informed once this happens. Everyone else, just check back in a couple weeks.
Mucho mucho apologies, and thanks for your patience!
I’m headed to Jamaica tomorrow for a wedding. Therefore, I’ll be away from the blog until Friday. In the meantime, I’ve asked our talented Art Director, Kevin Fitzgerald, to step in and maintain it until I get back.
Have fun toiling in the States, you soul-selling cogs of the machine.
One of the best Flash games I’ve played in a looong time. Soothing soundtrack, and highly addictive. I’d imagine it’s something like going on a crack high while being on a crack high. From Hero Interactive.
