    “Ice cream and cake and cake, ice cream and cake and cake!” Can not get this song out of my head… and for some reason I don’t care! Whenever this commercial pops up on TV, I can’t help but crack up. Maybe it’s the dancing robots… maybe it’s the soccer player that falls of the cake… maybe is the jingle that they hammer into your head over and over until it’s all that you can think about… I’m not sure why it is that I find this Baskin Robbins commercial so entertaining, when I have changed the channel for spots that are much less annoying. All I know, is I like it. So there. Now let’s go get some ice cream. And cake.

    Go to the next page for some screen shots from their website. Oh, and if you go to their site, be sure to crank your volume up!

    globalgiving1

    I’m loving Global Giving—a website that is dedicated to connecting donors with non-profit organizations that need funding. Their site is simple to navigate and has a great overall design. Go to their website and see if you can find one of their “million little earth changing ideas” that you’d like to help.

    More screen shots of their site on the next page…

    Check out this music video: Victoria Noll, Take Me With You. All shots were taken around the great city of Austin, TX. Have I mentioned how I can’t wait to go back? It was fun to watch this video and see all the places I’ve been to… and haven’t been to for that matter. Oh, and the song is lovely as well!

    junkmail
    Grand has decided to take a more socially conscious path to our direct mail pieces. We’ve taken scraps of paper around the office, cut them up and printed over them with our own inkjet printer. We were able to save some trees and some press plates in one fell swoop! We love the homemade results as every piece is different from the last. Even accidental smudges become a happy accident! Check out the close ups on the next page…

    traitor

    Greenpeace is running a pretty direct campaign against Trader Joe’s with a viral site dubbed “Traitor Joes.” Greenpeace surveys found Trader Joe’s sells 15 of the 22 red list seafoods: Alaskan pollock, Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, Atlantic sea scallops, Chilean sea bass, Greenland halibut, monkfish, ocean quahog, orange roughy, red snapper, redfish, South Atlantic albacore tuna, swordfish, tropical shrimp and yellowfin tuna. These fish were caught in ways that endanger ocean habitats and other marine creatures. Learn more about it at Greenpeace and check out Billie the singing Chilean sea bass on the next page…
