Chrysler’s advertising campaign continues to be excellent. The new 300 looks great and bonus points for nabbing Ndamukong Suh for the commercial.
UPDATE: Chrysler finally officially posted this video. Link updated.
Here’s your chance to buy the Ferrari 412 used in Daft Punk‘s Electroma and have 100% of the funds go to the British Red Cross for the Japan relief effort.
There are many auctions from EMI Music to help with the Japan relief effort. Another personal favorite is one of only _4_ original ZERO shirts worn by Billy Corgan on the Smashing Pumpkins‘s 1995 ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’ tour.
Chrysler’s “Imported From Detroit” advertising campaign is (surprise) _well_ done. I find myself responding very positively to it. High nostalgia factors involved with spot on pacing, narration, and message. I don’t find myself saying this well, ever, but congrats Chrysler. It definitely helps the 2011 Chrysler 200 appears to be class competitive.
Now, we’re from America. But this isn’t New York City. Or the Windy City. Or Sin City. And we’re certainly no one’s Emerald City. This is the Motor City.
But no, we will not be asking you to lower your standards to buy a car made here. We will in fact, be asking you to raise them.
A very appealing commercial for the new 2011 Dodge Durango. Tasteful exterior AND interior styling plus what appears to be high quality interior materials. It doesn’t hurt to have Michael C. Hall narrating either.
Chrysler and now Dodge’s new advertising campaigns are well done. And it appears they are starting to turn out vehicles to match.
I just came across a great 28-minute interview of Mark Kozelek back from January 13th, 2006 on KEXP.

With the launch of the Nexus S by Google, it’s time to revisit the inconsistency in the button order of Android devices. As I pointed out previously, there’s seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order, even among manufacturers (ahem Motorola/Verizon). Well, it seems Google isn’t immune to this either.
— Nexus One: Back, Menu, Home, Search
— Nexus S: Back, Menu, Search, Home
I don’t care the Nexus One was manufactured by HTC and the Nexus S was manufactured by Samsung — the Nexus line _IS_ Google’s phone.
Seriously. Pick something and stick to it.

Jamie Oliver on his crusade against the obesity epidemic. My favorite quote:
…any judge in the whole world would look at the statistics and the evidence and they would find any government of old guilty of child abuse.
Other bits from the 2010 TED Prize Winner:
Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.
I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.
Wow. I’ve never heard of Iso Rivolta. The IR 340 is _beautiful_. I’m dubbing this the “poor” man’s Ferrari and filing it away in my car wish list.
Unsurprising, as the car is Italian and made in the early 1960s, it’s got a strong Ferrari vibe to it.
Just awesome.
