If you happen to have a high mileage Honda, then check out the Honda Mile Makers Club, a social network for owners of Hondas that have already passed the century mark.
Surpassing a mileage landmark is no small feat. And it’s as much about the devoted driver as it is about reliability and care. It’s a shared journey: car and driver. And that journey is a ride worth sharing. So Honda has created a space where each Honda Mile Maker can pass on their own personal adventure when the odometer hits that mileage milestone. Honda Mile Makers is simply recognition of the passion, inspiration and dedication of these Honda drivers. And the loyalty, durability and reliability of the Hondas driven. Welcome to the club.
Owners can upload a photo of their car, and then add a story of how they got so many miles on it, along with info about what the car needed along the way.
Though it’s basically just a giant advertisement for Honda, it is impressive that the little [H] mobiles just keep going and going and going…
Insanely Great Tees wants you to make an iPhone ad, and for motivation, they’re rewarding the winner with an iPhone of their very own (and probably a little bit of Internet fame as well).
To enter, unleash your creative side and make a 30 second spot that is both funny, and includes the words “I’m an iPhone”. Other than that, the rest is up to you, though I’d suggest using puppets. Lots and lots of puppets.
The DYH iMix 04.07 is the first in a monthly series of iMixes that will feature unique music for you to download and enjoy. Each iMix will contain 10 songs, and is going to be a compilation of genres, ages, and popularity levels. The goal is to highlight new music that you haven’t heard of, and to provide you with a source of songs to add to your music collection. For the first month, the tracks are as follows:
Cat Stevens – Where Do The Children Play? – A classic from the man now known as Yusef Islam.
José González – Heartbeats – The song made famous by the Sony Bravia ad.
Michael Andrews & Gary Jules – Mad World – The song made famous by the Gears Of War ad.
Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats – Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned.
Britney Spears – (You Drive Me) Crazy – Considering the recent Britney news, the irony of this song continues to grow on a daily basis.
MIMS – This Is Why I’m Hot – Takes every currently popular hip-hop niche and mixes them all into one catchy track.
John Mayer – Waiting On The World To Change – Feel good music with a message.
The Pack – Vans - A group of high school students from Berkeley California rapping about their shoes.
O.A.R. – The Was A Crazy Game Of Poker – A story song that makes you want to jump out of your chair and dance.
Brad Paisley – She’s Everything – A love song about the subtle things that make someone special.
Sounds good, right? I thought so too. Though I’m trying to do the work for you, I’m also open to suggestions, so if you think that you’ve found something iMix worthy, let me know. Rock out.
Urban Monarch and Modern Drunkard put together two great guides about how to score free drinks when you go out. Put down the credit card, and slowly step away.
Artist Felix Beck created a non-visual graffiti project called Soundbombs, “innocuous-looking 6-inch plastic shells that broadcast short clips (lines from Shakespeare, flatulence, or anything else you record) to unwitting passersby”. He doesn’t sell them, but instead takes applications, and prospective users must tell him where they will use it and how much they’re willing to pay. Get loud.
Sodium Laurel Sulfate, and ingredient in toothpaste, blocks sweet sensors on your tongue, which explains why orange juice tastes so bad after you brush.
Stuart Haygarth created the Tide Chandelier out of man made debris that washed up along a stretch of the Kent coastline. “The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris”.
One day, I aspire to be one of the Men Of The Square Table. Miller Light’s Man Laws set out to codify what it takes to be a man, and so far has done a pretty amazing job. The commercial series has produced more quotables than any other series that I can recollect, and thankfully, it’s always appropriate to quote from a beer commercial at any time. Man Law.
