Mad Men Yourself
In anticipation of this Sunday’s Season 3 premiere of Mad Men, AMC introduces MadMenYourself, a great little time-wasting device that allows you to create yourself as an early 1960’s character. The illustrations, created by Dyna Moe, and inspired by her popular Flickr posts. Customize yourself down to the turn of your nose as well as the material of your suit (or cardigan, tennis sweater, or any of the other 5 wardrobe choices). Then drop the illustrated you into a scene from the show, and you’ve become Mad Men’d. The site goes one step further and allows your avatar to be exported in formats perfect for Twitter, Facebook, and desktop wallpaper. Check it out at MadMenYourself. And as a reminder, Mad Men season 3 premiers this Sunday Aug. 16th 10pm/9c on AMC.

Audi Student Design Project: Intelligent Emotion
Audi recently presented a design project in cooperation with the Munich University of Applied Sciences that charged students with designing “human mobility solutions” that address plausible future transportation conditions. Prior to designing the vehicle itself, University students had to predict the most pressing environmental, technical, and social issues facing the world in the future. These guidelines spawned the theme “Intelligent Emotion.” The project involved lead designers and officials from Audi, and reportedly generated a number of ideas that they say might see implementation in future models. Wolfgang Egger, head of Audi Design said, “The students have addressed the subject of mobility in the future with very well-conceived and lucidly presented approaches.” Their innovations included vehicle weight reduction and alternative power and drivetrain sources.

A six-speed GETRAG manual transmission is standard, with an AISIN six-speed automatic transmission optional.

This is probably one of the best executed viral videos ever. The T-Mobile Dance was filmed at Liverpool Street on the 15th January 2009, aired on C4 on the 16th and was No.1 in the Viral Video Chart by the 17th. Either way, the video just puts a big smile on my face.
