I AM A YES MAN!

Yes!, I wanted to see that film. Yes, I hope you'd seen it. Yes, I'd recommend it if you haven't done so yet. And yes it's one of the best comedy films I've seen in a long time, there's even a positive message in it, even if it's somehow only mentioned.

Yes!, the soundtrack is interesting as a reminder of the film, due to Munchausen by Proxy, a band depicted on the film, with a nice couple of songs such as Uh-Huh. Quite '80s. Sweet voice belongs to Zooey Deschanel, actress on the film, looking a bit as Meg Ryan maybe.

YES!, YES!, Yes Man, gets you wired just like a RedBull I reckon.

¡Saludos!

TODAY

Rainy, early, dark summer morning in the city, but the bakery is there, open, and there's some sunlight coming out!

Today's breakfast menu: Bread and Marzipan ;)

¡Saludos!

PS: There's a bit of Photoshop in the city's view... ooops... to try get a better exposure for sky and earth. Layers, layers, layers, what can images do without you?

THE MAGIC BOX

And along it came, on a magical day hard to forget. Wortlos, I can only thank you. But then I can say... watch out dudes!, you are gonna get what you give! ;)

First impressions: wonder, happyness, suprise. Life is ever surprising. Second impression: I though I was nuts, but now I see my friends are somewhat crazy too. Third one: the amazing and vibrating feeling of not knowing. And particularly in this case, not knowing what's inside. Fourth, handwritten wishes, memories, love. Fifth, Maaaarzipan! Genau!. Still more of theese to come... some new, such as the Elisenlebkuchen from Bavarian Nürnberg.

To both of you and to Simone, ¡un abrazo grande!, thinking of you, hope all is well.

Matias.

YOU LOOSE WHAT YOU DON'T HOLD™

Do you know this strange feeling that a present you just bought gives you when it's something so fancy that you would rather love to keep it to yourself?

To be honest, in case of this beautifully crafted felt pouch holding computer stuff such as a mouse or a power plug, excactly that feeling occured to me ;-)

But due to the the wonderful positioning saying: »You loose what you don't hold™« I suppose somehow it's ok ;-)

So if anybody is interested in buying some superb accessories for your Mac – these Austrian guys definitely will be able to supply them!

YES, HE CAN!

Do to the given fact that from tommorow on hopefully there will be someone in charge who stands for »change« – here are two things to be mentioned from a designers perpective:

Amongst others Shepard Fairey and Robert Indiana, two of my favourite artist, did contibute their stuff to ManifestHOPE. 

An amazing collaboration of art can be traced here: http://www.manifesthope.com.

On http://www.vsapartners.com you shall be able find an inspiring interwiev in which Sol Sanders, CD of this Chicago based design agency, will give you some nice insights on the development of probably one of the mightiest brands in the world: Obama '08.

Enjoy and keep in mind: Yes, we can ;0)

LISTEN TO THIS!

Anyone sick of old iPod tunes? Don't know what to listen to next?

Don't worry, guys – there're so much inspiring sounds around these days. I guess we just need to sort them out carefully.

Here comes something quite new, something older – still and in case you don't know about all of it yet – something so much worth to share with you:

»Easy Come Easy Go«

»Home Before Dark«

»Control«

Take care ...

2009 HAS FINALLY BEGUN

After a hilarious Christmas-Celebration with colleagues and friends and of course some extra special days in deep-frozen Paris – recently there were also some comtemplative and peaceful moments which finally make me understand that 2009 is just about to begin. 

So today we are back – back for a brand-new start!

All the best ...
