(TrendHunter.com) Wind farms are becoming one of the hottest topics in the search for clean energy sources. While the windmill itself is nothing new, they possess one major design flaw: What do you do when there is no wind?…
Remember how we kept noticing that the Sprint Instinct billboard in Times Square was taking forever to be completed? Oh, well allow us to refresh your memory here and here.
Well, we hadn’t walked to TS in a few days, so we can’t be exactly sure when this thing was finished up. But as you’ll see in the above video, it’s complete. And wow, let’s just say, it met our expectations (of being another pointless waste of electricity, plastics, and building space).
In the video that plays on the over-sized Instinct, the Sprint device is compared to the iPhone to see which has the strongest 3G network and which battery comes out easiest (among other things — we didn’t stick around to watch the whole thing). At least now we can stop talking about it.

Click play on the above video, and you’ll see Jon Hamm doing for the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM) what we want him to do for ‘The Week in Advertising’ — be awesome.
The clip is a faux MadMen scene, complete with Don Draper, Roger Sterling, some dude who represents the cable television industry, and many drinks. My kind of meeting…and it’s funny, too!
We do have a qualm to mention, though; It just isn’t fair. We tried to get Hamm on our wildly successful show, ‘The Week in Advertising’, and offered him the opportunity to develop stronger relationships with the folks who feel closest to him: advertisers, like yourselves. CTAM must have taken it one step beyond and given him…you know…money, or something. Harumph.
OK, for reals though, we like what Michael Durwin, CD at FuseIdeas did with the project. Durwin, a multi-Mark Award winner, wrote the script, edited the film and produced the motion graphics. Damn Durwin, that’s a lotta hooch. Enjoy it people, it’s Friday.

So sad. It looks like funeral arrangements are being made for Second Life. Sure, I'm throwing dirt in the grave while it's still drawing a little air, but let's face it: what little usefulness Second Lifers had (a target for mockery, I guess), they've long since outlived it.
