Apple Ad

This is one of my favorite ads. No matter how many times I watch it, I never get tired of it.

Reverend Hagler's speech is very moving.

Monday, September 17, 2007


He murders words like startled innocents
He cracks a grin like a sloping desert
He pursues an abstraction
He feasts on fearful dreams
He points accusingly across reason
He serves at the table of avarice
He appeals to the lesser part of us
He wins the vote of chaos
He struts in the ruins of civilisation
He drinks the dew of morning tears
He devours the cry of desperation
He whispers the wind of uncertainty
He preaches the litany of occupation
He scratches the sore of hate
He winds up the window against wisdom
He thrashes in the mire of dispossession
He aims at the centre of peace
He embraces the moment of action
He leads the world to watching skies
He jabs at our peaceful sleep
He strides relentlessly towards his purpose
He is the blind man who believes he sees

Beauty


The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

heroes I idolize


At the risk of telling the twice-told tale ‘I’m influenced by brave men’ this design is a tribute to men who have shaped my thoughts.

[Poem by Stefanie ReneƩ]

I almost took my life and didn’t. That was brave.
I gave myself to someone else to love. That was brave.
I moved forward with my life. That was brave.
I moved away from family and friends for the first time. That was brave.
I got married. That was brave.
I moved again, far from family and friends. That was brave.
I moved to a city that I knew no one. That was brave.
I met new friends. That was brave.
I created lasting friendships. That was brave.
I quit a job I hated. That was brave. I found a new job, which I love. That was brave.
I moved again, to a city that I love and call home. That was brave.
I started looking inside myself to find out who I really am. That was brave.
I found out things about myself that I hate and love. That was brave.
I am working on creating a better, more insightful, spiritual life for myself. This is brave. I try to make it everyday in this big city life that I love. I followed my dreams. I am living my dreams. I am brave.

my desktop design


I have this habit of designing my own desktops. Visuals are pure self-expression and has nothing to do with the quote. Working in an ad agency you have to explain people why you have used the visual for the thought. which I really hate to do. I am not selling anything here. I don't need anyone's approval.
