Bon Voyage, Jonah.

My business partner of more than two years, Jonah Langenbeck, is making a big career move, recently accepting the Interactive Media Manager position at the National WWII Museum. We partnered back in 2007 and spent the last two years working (sometimes frantically) on dozens of websites and interactive assets for various local and national clients. It has been among the most productive periods of my working life, and certainly the most rewarding challenge I've found in New Orleans. I join our team of designers and developers in enthusiastically wishing Jonah much success and fulfillment in his new role!

Whether serendipity or just plain luck, I don't know that either of us expected the whirlwind of business that the last two years brought us. I know that Jonah will bring his outstanding talents with him to the rapidly-expanding and extraordinary museum. We will definitely miss you at the office, Jonah, but we expect you at Felipés regularly to keep you up to date on the drama and fireworks of our life in the trenches ;-)

Bon Voyage, Jonah!!!!

Building Gets Blown.

From Copyranter: I'm assuming this was a real placement, since the ad won a Media Bronze Lion at last week's Cannes Festival. That's the Haitong Securities building in Shanghai, fairly famous in the architectural world for its unique wave design. Opposite it, is a large billboard for a Midea fan, created by Firstell Communications.

Fu*k All from PSFK.

Great stuff from George Parker about the devaluation of original content and labor in the age of social media. He references LinkedIn's new wage for translators ($0) - reported in the NY Times.

When No One Is Watching.

Wow. I've always been a fan of provocative or disruptive advertising, and this bus shelter for Amnesty International promoting domestic violence awareness is just spectacular. Using motion sensor and recognition technology, the display changes depending on whether you're looking at it or not. Brilliant. More info at Copyranter.
