webby awards

The Webby Awards, the leading international award for internet greatness, has a sweet Winner’s Gallery.

The gallery was designed as a fun and interactive way to see all of the Nominees and Winners from the 12th Annual Webby Awards and includes links to the work and the ability to filter entries a number of ways. For instance, the “trends” filter shows entries with the top 7 tags entered by users during the People’s Voice voting. And the “Winner Type” tab allows you to select from Webby Winners, People’s Voice Winners and Nominees.

The Chicago Tribune just profiled me as one of Chicago’s Best Blogs. Like Ad Age and the Power 150, this is a nice traditional/social media crossover, and I’m discovering lots of fellow Chicago-based bloggers.

The Mile-High Club of Skyscraper Construction

March 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment

milehigh.jpg
This proposed $10 billion (USD) skyscraper will reach one mile into the atmosphere - more than two times the height of the Burj Dubai! This I-can-build-a-taller-tower competition has officially gone CRAZY and will soon give new meaning to the mile-high club.

According to the Daily Mail article (from March 31, so this isn’t an April Fool’s joke):

Experts say the technical challenges are enormous. Much of the lifting will be carried out by helicopters, which will also be used as commuter transport for builders. The tower will have to be capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures, with its top baking in the desert sun by day but dropping to well below freezing at night. To resist the strong winds prevalent in the area and stop it swaying, giving its occupants a form of high-rise seasickness, it will be fitted with a giant computer-operated damper.

Genius Wine Label

Remember those “Loft For Sale” fliers hanging next to the elevator at college? This is kinda like that. Now you can send one lucky party guest home with a little reminder of the wine you served. At least… one guest… and only if you serve this type of wine. Still, it’s a great idea and more wine bottles should have it. In fact, like McDonald’s, wine makers should run a Monopoly game promotion - I’m sure that would make wine sales skyrocket! :)

I found this wine idea and the photos at a blog I just discovered by Ben Terrett, a graphic designer in London. Great blog! I’ll be back.

Edinburgh, Scotland-based David Airey started blogging in October of 2006. His self-titled blog currently sits in the Power 150’s top 30 and is a marketing extension of his own graphic design business. In today’s web 2.0 marketing stew, the ingredients of graphic design and multimedia are more important than ever, which helps to make David’s blog so popular with marketing and social media professionals.

David’s a genius at giving design tips and tutorials for professional designers and non-designers alike. His topics run the design spectrum and include popular subjects like typography, logos, advertising, web design, branding, blogging, business cards and more. Be sure to read his domain hijacking post. Unbelievable!

David, how would you describe your blog to your mom?
It’s how I promote my graphic design services online, and attract the majority of my clients.

What blog post (of your own) are you most proud of and why?
My report about GMail’s security vulnerabilities, because it helped me get my domain name back after it was stolen, and also made it onto the New York Times website.
