La designer Klavdija Jarc a conçu The Woodieful Chair : une chaise multi-fonctionnelle qui peut servir de table basse et de chevet pour ranger ses journaux. Sa fonction première est d’être un petit tabouret à placer dans son salon. La designer considère ce meuble comme une fusion entre le minimalisme & design utile et durable.

Depois de três anos no Anhembi Parque, próximo da rodoviária do Tietê, a Campus Party Brasil 2015 retorna à uma das suas maiores arenas, no São Paulo Expo, também conhecido como Centro de Exposições Imigrantes.
O retorno à região da Imigrantes promete uma cara de nostalgia para os campuseiros veteranos (tipo eu), que poderão rememorar períodos de calor intenso durante o dia e frio avassalador durante as noites no camping. Apesar das memórias, a promessa é que os extremos de temperatura não atrapalhem a experiência neste ano – a organização da Campus prometeu um ambiente refrigerado com ar condicionado para essa edição. É praticamente ver pra crer, já que as evaporadoras precisarão dar conta de um ambiente com mais de 64 mil metros quadrados, comportando mais de 8 mil campuseiros (sem contar imprensa, stands, parceiros, palestrantes…)
O foco em ciência traz ao palco o brasileiros Miguel Nicolelis, neurocientista que lidera o projeto do exoesqueleto, que esteve na festa de abertura da Copa do Mundo de 2014, e o ator Paul Zaloom, mais conhecido como o Beakman, do seriado infantil dos anos 90 “O Mundo de Beakman” (sdds, Lester!)
Entre outros palestrantes magistrais esperados para esta semana estão Ime Archibong, diretor de parcerias estratégicas do Facebook, Shubham Banerjee, criador da impressora braile, Leo Burd, do MIT Media Lab, Jonathan LeBlanc, do PayPal, Chris Anderson, autor de “A Cauda Longa”, John Cioffi, “pai do DSL” e professor de Stanford, Gina Gotthilf, do Duolingo, Matteo Achilli, conhecido como “o Zuckerberg italiano”, Camille François, especialista em cyberguerra, entre outros.
Além da programação de conteúdo, os campuseiros poderão usufruir de uma velocidade de navegação incrível – 50 Gb/s, oferecidos pela Telefônica Vivo nos cabos espalhados pelas bancadas da Campus. Quem precisar de Wi-Fi, contudo, ainda não terá nenhuma possibilidade de conexão oficial – algumas bancadas levam roteadores e fazem suas próprias redes sem fio, e alguns patrocinadores também oferecem acesso sem fio, mas nenhuma dessas redes é oficial do evento.
Preparados?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Luca Tombolini, un jeune photographe italien, est fasciné par les paysages : les dunes de sable, les courbes qu’on peut observer dans le désert, les motifs formés par les montagnes enneigées et parsemées de pins verts. Une sélection de son travail délicate et contemplative est à découvrir en images.

Vogue was named magazine of the year at the annual National Magazine Awards ceremony on Monday night, earning the award that honors brands excelling in both print and digital media as well as areas such as events and branded content. But it was Nautilus — an indie science magazine published quarterly that costs $49 a subscription — that set a record for the evening. Established in 2013 with a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, it became the first to win two National Magazine Awards in its first year of eligibility.
The awards were presented at the Marriott Marquis in New York and hosted by David Muir, anchor and managing editor of ABC News’ “World News Tonight.”
Let’s hope Nautilus doesn’t meet the same fate as last year’s indie darling Modern Farmer, which drew roaring applause when it won a National Magazine Award in its first year of eligibility. Last month the quarterly magazine lost its entire editorial staff and canceled its spring issue, though the title’s owner has promised it will return in summer with new writers and editors.

The Brady Bunch, comercial de Snickers criado pela BBDO de Nova York para o Super Bowl, pode até não ter chegado ao top 10 do USA Today AdMeter, mas com certeza conquistou muita gente. E, mais importante, conquistou o júri especializado responsável pelo Clio Creative Bowl, novo prêmio do Clio Awards destinado ao melhor filme exibido no intervalo do jogo.
A releitura de A Família Sol-Lá-Si-Dó segue a linha do “você não é você mesmo quando está com fome” e mostra Marcia transformada em ninguém menos do que Danny Trejo. Depois que ela se acalma, é a vez da irmã Jan mostrar seu lado mais feio…
Um argumento que pode surgir é que Like A Girl deveria ter sido o escolhido e, realmente, o comercial de Always é um dos melhores dos últimos tempos e até foi um dos finalistas. Mas é preciso lembrar que a campanha não é inédita, mas uma reedição de um viral do ano passado. Prevaleceu, então, o trabalho inédito, criado especialmente para esta ocasião.
De qualquer maneira, Snickers e DDB mandaram muitíssimo bem e mereceram a honraria.

With the help of a bellowing goat, wireless carrier Sprint sends a shout-out to rivals Verizon and AT&T with this “super apology,” which aired during the third quarter of last night’s battle.
The ad from Deutsch LA aims at fellow carriers by saying sorry for calling competitors a goat, hence the featured animal in the advertisement, one that takes a jab at rivals’ expensive rates (calling them “sheep” in the process) while continuing Sprint’s “cut your bills in half” mantra.
Speaking to the Kansas City Star before the big game, Sprint chief marketing officer Bill Hallock said:
“We’re going to have a little fun with it. At the Super Bowl people look for some humor, some entertainment value…and that’s what we’ve embedded in this [ad] as well.”
All it takes is a screaming goat to hammer the message home:
In other Greatest Clients Ever news, Sprint’s CEO endured some friendly trolling via T-Mobile John Legere during the game…and retweeted many fans’ messages mocking the latter’s campaign by Publicis Seattle.
Look what @marceloclaure did to @JohnLegere…he’s all worked up cause Sprint has an awesome commercial and T-Mobile has Kim.

Hey Adbusters,
So you say you want a revolution … well … which one? Eviscerate neo-liberal corporate capitalism with its “personhood” succubus birthing unlimited political power? Or Cliven Bundy/2016? Topple dictators, tyrants, presidents-for-life, Communists, putrified Socialists? — ?all bubble-wrapped, encapsulated and immune to reality? Exterminate world-engulfing jihad superheroes (pick your preferred holy tripetrip)? Actually end endless warfare? Explode gluttonous consumerism elevated to existential sanctification? Repulse onanistic hedonism sold as life’s fulfillment and obligation (poor Epicurus, Bentham and Mill)? Vaporize vapid entertainment nakedly marketed as art? Halt global environmental trashing before we are all living on oceanic garbage gyres as the glorious culmination of 3.8 billion years of life’s evolution? Feed the starving? Homeland the homeless? Surmount the ramparts of wealth inequity?— ?99 to 1 and still ravenously yawning? Extirpate racism? — ?the taint that never washes out quite white enough? Perfume ethnocentrism — ?the primordial stink that clings to every “superior” culture’s rancid inhumanity? Demolish the hubris of speciesism inexorably leading to extinction (50% of the world’s wildlife have perished in the last 40 years)? Retreat from the joke of “genius” adulation that permits solo hyperinflated, single-note dwarves who allocate health, government, development and financial policies for the rest of us (Yeah, you … Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Zuckerberg and every other one-trick pony strutting the champion’s lap). Dare to drop your meth-fueled connectivity helmet impatient for the imminent Kurzweillian universal virtuality download and sit in the dark under a full harvest moon and think, imagine, invent, create, fantasize and struggle for self? Burn your XBox and shooter “games” and sleep in the snow with the aurora borealis as your widescreen? Clinically treat the delusion that stimulation is knowledge, knowledge is Google and kill social networks that breed more psychiatric pathology than human contact? For all you sexting dualists, reconnect the mind to the body? Neuter sexism? Nuke homophobia? Knit the anarchist multicolored coats of confusion? Fumigate the formulaic? Confiscate drum magazine assault weapons and Saturday night specials? Design a chic line of HazMat fashions? — ?resilient in the face of Ebola, Dengue, plague, HIV, smallpox, Chickungunya, SARS, MRSA?and all antibiotic resistant bacteria? Etc., etc.
So many revolutions to sign up for! All of them metastasizing. All of them intertwined and fecundatingly intermingling. All of them terminal to human touch. All of them must be won.
