Thought I would share this video for its marketing genius. This is part of Nissan’s “What if Everything Ran on Gasoline” campaign promoting the company’s first electric car. The commercial keeps you guessing what the point is while driving home that gasoline as a fuel is dirty, laborious, and expensive. All is revealed in that their car, the new “Leaf,” is the clean alternative.

Effective, no?

— Apple launched its new round of MacBook Pros yesterday. Like Derrick Rose, they’re FAST.

— Nike is back with another epic, jaw dropping commercial. This time it’s pimping Kobe Bryant’s shoes in a Robert Rodriguez-directed piece. Enjoy “The Black Mamba”.

— There’s a comic about Facebook founder Marc Zuckerberg. Canadian comic production company Bluewater Productions released the it written by Jerome Maida and illustrated by Sal Field. No comment because he could buy me 500 times over. Via mashable.com.

— The only way to be memorialized (Note: this actually happened). Thanks to Geekologie:

— Saw this on Chase Jarvis’ Blog. It’s a photo project from Irina Werning that recreates childhood photos with the subject all grown up. It’s a great idea with so much attention to detail it frustrates me I can’t be that focused.

— Had this emailed to me…It’s three old French guys dueling with lightsabers. You might want to take precaution with the bad language…That is, if you speak French.

— Why not play in the virtual snow and make music while you do it? A fantastic, whimsical game over at Color Cave that is a great way to say goodbye to winter. Check out “January” HERE.

— Finally, another incredible video by Freddy Wong. This time, he brings Mario Kart (if you had a Nintendo 64, then you had this game) to life with great special effects. Somebody give this guy a Hollywood movie to direct! Thanks to FStoppers.

Here they are, hot off the press, the Louisiana Tech men’s and women’s basketball season posters.
