HP google maps



The other day, my friend showed me the worlds smallest printer. It was a pretty cool innovation that was hand held, and made it to where you could basically paint on paper, the document you wanted to print. He asked me, "How much would you pay for it?" and honestly, I didn't say that much. I felt as if this new printer was making a drastic leap in a unnecessary direction. Having a letter quality printer improve to a laser printer is a drastic innovation that the printer market would all appreciate. To me, being able to print in the palm of your hand, only fits to a very small niche of the printer market. It is a very cool innovation, but I do not think it's very marketable.

But speaking of printers, I ironically came across an innovation on a printer, I thought could be very receptive. HP has created an internet connected printer. They are starting to create new printer apps. This video shows their new google maps app, where you can directly type in 2 locations on your printer, and it will print out. Now, this may not seem like a big idea yet, but I think this innovation leads to new possibilities. It is basically setting the platform for a combination of computer and printer to be one.

We shall see...

Burning Man 2009 pics!

















If you haven't heard of The Burning Man , you might want to look into it. Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Blak Rock Desert in Nevada. In this desert, people come together to create their own artistic city (Black Rock City). This city is dedicated to community, helping each other out, art, self-expression, and a lot of self-reliance. This is a very extreme event where you are put into an intense one-week period with weather of over 100 degrees, and you only have the limited supplies that you bring into the desert. People start to work with each other, trade with each other, create with each other to build an amazing experience. Creativity pours out of this event, as you can see from the pics!

Frontline Guerilla Marketing




An amazing piece of guerilla marketing for the product Frontline, which is a flea and tick spray. This giant sticker was placed on the ground floor of a building in Indonesia. Frontline uses a slogan of "Get them off your dog", and an arial view of this sticker makes it seem as if the people walking are the fleas.

GET EM OFF! Be creative, think outside the box!
