As we rapidly approach the season of merriment, so too we will start seeing the annual public service advertisement campaigns demonstrating in increasingly graphic ways all the bad stuff that can happen when we drink and drive.
When flicking through my feeds earlier today I happened across this clever little poster campaign by Russian Bear Vodka.

As a social responsibility initiative, Russian Bear Vodka “propoganda” posters were placed on walls facing mirrors in the bathrooms of pubs and clubs. At first glance, the posters seemed to be in Russian. But when patrons looked into the mirror, the Cyrillic letters were reversed to read in plain English “Real Men Don’t Drink and Drive”.

Very clever! I spotted this Russian Bear Vodka campaign over at adgoodness – a site well worth bookmarking for your regular dosage of clever advertising campaigns.
Wow, that’s quite impressive. I guess that this poster would have a real impact upon an ‘onlooker’ viewing it and realising its design-dimension (as it were) upon first sight. It’s also fair to assume that this kind of advertising will have a lasting impact on people.
On the downside, I would bet that some unscroupulous copycat alcohol company will mimic this kind of design to advertise alco-pops to teens.
So, you want cross-browser RGBa support, huh? Well, now you can with my new Compass plugin, rgbapng. Read on to find out more.
As web standards evangelists fall over themselves to point out the hypocrisy of Apple’s Safari-only HTML5 web-standards showcase, I wonder if the liberal use of the term HTML5 means something else?
Today I released a new jQuery plugin called Smart Ass Login Values. It’s a plugin for adding default values to login form fields – like in situations where there can be no text label.
What can only be described as an ee-shit-storm kicked off today, when an ExpressionEngine developer called Alex Gordon released a forked version of the popular EE extension, FF Matrix.
Yesterday Microsoft released to the world a platform preview of IE9. I’m sure you’ve read all about it by now, so what do we all think?
