Squid Attack!

My complements to the editor on the jazzy soundtrack.

 

That thing getting attacked is a remotely operated vehicle from the amazing Neptune Canada project.

Trees Say "Thank You." Or Something.



Instead of telling people how much we appreciated customers buying the Eco-Series, we thought it was much more powerful coming from those that benefited the most. The trees themselves.

How did we get trees from a forest to say thank you? We collaborated with renowned UK artist Tim Knowles, we journeyed into the Black Down Forest, South West of London and built a series of intricate apparatus and systems that allowed trees to draw our thank yous.
 
I'm not sure about the success of this "art," but I appreciate the sentimentality of the endeavor.

1978 Week Ends Abruptly: Do You Really Want to Watch the Trailer from "Convoy?"

If you really do, it's here.  But wouldn't it me more fun to watch the trailer from cinematic masterpiece Orca?




Unlike Convoy, a 1978 release, Orca graced screens in 1977, so doesn't technically fit within this week's theme.  I think it's a sacrifice worth making.
