Really, this was a crazy and busy week.
Lots of stuff happened at work, at home, in Romania and the world.
Need to finish a website and also an offline application for managing medical events. Then a new identity for the next big thing on the Romanian executive search market.
Plus the regular quick&dirty daily projects...at work.
Freelancing for a major foods company in Romania, starting work for a local online IT store onto developing a new online brand. Then a new wine brand that will deal a lot with artists.
Listening to The Game, Bliss, Tracey Thorn, Shivaree and Kanye West's new shit (50 Cent is in trouble, 'cuz he promised that if Kanye were to outsell him, he'd retire). Then listening to all the clients and also my mom, to get more sleep and eat more.
On the Romanian scene, BrandTailors, a Romanian branding consultancy, released their website and caused quite a stir and I discovered a fellow "oltean" doing some decent stuff - Giltist.
Rospotline relaunched their new identity and website. Welcome back!
Also, Imagoo, an advertising magazine that went online and then was killed by Vodanet shortly after, it seems it will make a comeback soon and I'm waiting to see what they will be releasing.
Watched "The Apprentice 4" on Antena3 and seen Randal get the job, although I though that Trump should have hired Randal and Rebecca both. This was the first time I watched TV in a while.
Wasted a full pen in just under a week, on writing and drawing and sketching.
Plus, some worldwide news:
- in China, it was released a copycat of iPhone running Windows.
- Encylopaedia Britannica is wrong and Wikipedia can prove it.
- no more fixed calls, as it seems that by next year half of all voice calls in Europe will originate from mobile phones; for me, fixed phones are old news, because it's been 2 years since I used one and I've used only my mobile for conversations and here is the research report to read further if you're interested.
- Youtube will pay royalties for UK songwriters who have their songs used in videos on the UK website.
- Sony has announced that it will close Connect, its online music store by Spring 2008, admitting defeat at the hands of Apple's iTunes online store (with a 80% market share!), but it will release more mp3 players soon for the Windows Media Player platform.
Then in the advertising world, Virgin made a bad choice in Australia with their latest advertising campaign, taking photos from Flickr without permission and mocking them. The blogging community is mad at Virgin for this, as it should be!
I'm also working on various projects for LAUNCH and preparing to launch some nice stuff soon.
