Shame it is for something as boring as promoting the upcoming launch of Windows Phone 7.

Get Ready to Play-Cute NZ cat commercial

Leigh — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:35:31 +0000

Super cute new Purina ONE tv ad, shot in NZ by an award-winning kiwi film company, starring the cutest kiwi cats, plus a soundtrack by top muso Don McGlashan who resurrected an old French nursery rhyme specifically for this commercial.

I think my cats would pass out at the excitement of it all. And Alex may drop dead after eating it all…he’s not to bright poor boy.

Spring is in the air

Spring is certainly in the air, don’t know about other parts of the country, but the weather in Sydney the last few days has just been divine…bring on the warms!!

Not sure what it is, but I just love this ad. I thought it was for beer at first..

Vote Below The Line!

Liz — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 00:39:32 +0000

Okay, two election posts in a row is a bit much I know, but I think this is worth it. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Australian Federal Election is being held on 21 August 2010. When picking your favourite party in the Senate (or perhaps, the the ‘least worst’ party) you probably don’t think too much about their preferences. If you usually vote above the line, think about this:

ALP and Democrat voters helped elect Steven Fielding of the Family First Party to the Senate in 2004. They may not have intended to but that’s what happened when they voted above the line in the Senate.

Regardless of whether you like Steven Fielding, having your vote end up with him when you were in fact voting for the ALP or the Democrats is a bit disconcerting. And before you tell me that voting below the line is a total pain in the ass, this election there are a few handy tools on the internet to help you out.

The main one is the Vote Below The Line! website. Select your state, your preferred party and check out where your preferences are going to go.

Happy with where they’re going? Great! Vote above the line!

Not happy? Well, by doing some simple clicking and dragging you can arrange how your want the preferences to be and then download a PDF file which shows you how you can vote below the line based on your own preferences.

And if you’ve made it this far in the post, you deserve an amusing cat image to make it all better.

Political Advertising Done Right

Jarod — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:01:53 +0000

That’s Noice! is politically unbiased entity, but with the Australian Federal Election coming up I simply wanted to state that this is how political advertising should be done.

No mud slinging. No fear tactics. Just a simple message saying ‘if you think these things matter, vote for us’. Best of all that @GreensMPs have said ‘We like. A lot.’ Brilliant!

The full version plus more insights into the way advertising works in our political system can be viewed on the Gruen Nation, 9pm Wednesdays on ABC1. Or catch up on iView.

Hell Pizza interactive zombie adventure.

Liz — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:59:01 +0000

The Hell Pizza chain in New Zealand are known for their ‘different’ marketing tactics. From deliveries arriving in hearses to the little coffin (“for your remains”) built into the pizza box. Their latest round of marketing shows a rather innovative way of using youtube… or at least, I haven’t seen it done this well before. I present “Deliver me to hell – real zombies attack”

[Warning: There is lots of fake blood and gore. It is a zombie adventure, after all].

If you played the adventure, let us know what you think in the comments.

Turn your handwritting into a font for free

Leigh — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:13:55 +0000

There are a few places around that will convert you handwriting into a font for a fee. But pilot has a cool new site (Pilot handwriting) that will turn you handwriting into a font for free.

You print out the template and fill in your letters (be sure to make them big..and all the same size, as I discovered)

Then uploading is super easy, you can use your camera, scanner or your webcam..which is great for lazy peeps like me! It then reads your scan and converts your font on the fly. You can then make changes and edit the thickness or touch up any opps.

Unfortunately, you can’t download the font you have made, but I guess what can you expect for free. But you can write and email your new handwritten notes, or write and screenshot like I did.

I tried to make a cupcake, but my drawing skills aren’t that great and it didn’t scan in too well and ended up looking just like a turd.
