  • Got a Ski Resort Account? Get This In Place In Denver.

    January 4th, 2010 / Comments (5)

    If you’re one of the lucky few working on a Colorado ski resort account, take note of this new work from L.A.‘s David&Goliath. They’ve developed a series of digital billboards running in Los Angeles that display the amount of snow that’s fallen at Mammoth over the previous 24 hours. Be nice if you could get a few of those put up around town that report on the hills in these parts. We need some fresh excuses to skip work.

  • Untouchable Movies: The Karate Kid

    January 4th, 2010 / Comments (3)

    If you watched it again today, the original Karate Kid starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita would probably be damn cheesy. But if you were a kid and saw it in the theater back around the time of its June 22, 1984 release date, it holds a special place right there in the center of your heart. That’s why it’s a bit of a shame they’re remaking this movie – this time with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith (Will Smith’s son) enduring the same strife Macchio did, except in Bejing.

  • Don't Drop the Ball

    Fairly humorous idea from the National Institute for Reproductive Health, reminding the ladies to back up their birth control before those late-night New Year’s festivities. Too bad we’re seeing on January 4th. Well, there’s always next year.

  • If Quitting Smoking Is Your Resolution, Peep This

    January 1st, 2010 / Comments (1)

    While we were out and about this last week, a FODE (Friend of Denver Egotist) in from LA introduced us to some sexy new technology for smokers looking for the next best thing to the real thing (and a chance to get the buzz without the badness that comes with it). Blu Electronic Cigarettes have us seriously considering picking up the habit, if only for the cool tech factor they provide.

    Here’s how they work. You load a cartridge of what is essentially liquid nicotine into a slickly-designed battery powered cigarette. When you puff, the cigarette cherries with a bright blue LED light on the tip and you exhale vapor. You get the nic buzz, but none of the harmful chemicals, tar or odor. Which means you can smoke anywhere (inside bars, restaurants or the grocery) without bugging anyone around you.

    The cartridges come in a bunch of flavors and the battery charges right inside a case that’s included with the starter kit. E Cigarettes cost 75% less than a typical cigarette habit. Cigarettes are evolving. Check this out if you think it’s time to evolve too.
